DCI

What DCI does

DCI (Dynamic Consult International) is a French technical engineering bureau (SARL) founded in 2004 and headquartered in Carros, near Nice, that provides noise and vibration measurement, blast engineering, and environmental monitoring services to public works, quarrying, mining, demolition, and energy clients. Its core offerings span seven service lines: vibro-acoustic engineering, environmental monitoring, equipment sales and rental, explosives engineering, blasting and mining, deconstruction and earthwork, and training. Operationally, the firm deploys a fleet of more than 150 seismic and acoustic measurement devices across active construction sites and runs continuous 24/7 vibration monitoring networks integrated with cloud platforms such as Instantel Vision and Bruel & Kjaer Noise Sentinel. Drone-based 3D photogrammetry is used for rock-face modeling, blast plan design, and fragmentation analysis.

The business model is primarily project-based professional services — customized engagements combining blast design, on-site supervision, monitoring network deployment, and regulatory compliance documentation — supplemented by equipment sales and rental as an official French distributor of Instantel, MREL, I-Blast, and Bruel & Kjaer, and by recurring training revenue around the Certificat de Préposé au Tir blaster's certification. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and is contracted per project rather than per-seat. Go-to-market is consultative enterprise field sales targeting large construction primes (Bouygues, Vinci, Eiffage, Freyssinet, Soletanche Bachy, NGE), heavy industry and energy operators (EDF, Areva, Arcelor), cement and aggregate groups (Lafarge-Holcim, Vicat), and municipal authorities (City of Cannes, communes of Glandage and Coaraze), with the firm claiming mission execution across all continents. The company remains founder-owned (Thierry Partouche since 2004), with a 1-10 employee headcount and €15,000 registered capital, no disclosed external funding, and an SARL legal structure.
