What Burgeap does

Burgeap, operating under the legal name Ginger BURGEAP, is a France-based environmental engineering consultancy founded in 1947 and headquartered at 143 avenue de Verdun, Issy-les-Moulineaux. The firm provides integrated environmental consulting services organized around three core divisions: (1) Eau, Energie, Ville et Territoire, serving local authorities, developers, and urban planners on sustainable city and territorial projects; (2) Environnement Industriel, serving industrial operators, quarry and mining operators, and ICPE-classified facility operators on regulatory and remediation matters; and (3) Contrôles réglementaires, delivered through its LECES unit for environmental compliance inspections. Burgeap has held a recognized leadership position in France for contaminated site and soil remediation (dépollution des sites et sols pollués) for more than thirty years.

The firm's core technical expertise spans polluted site and soil remediation, water resource management, hydrogeology, geothermal energy, indoor and outdoor air quality assessment, and ICPE regulatory advisory. Burgeap operates a dedicated in-house R&D department conducting research across six specialized domains: polluted sites and soils, indoor air quality in buildings, energy and territorial planning, atmospheric pollution, surface waters, and the marine environment. The firm employs over 350 engineers and serves clients in France and internationally, with no publicly disclosed pricing as services are quote-based and tailored to each project engagement. Most recently, on 28 October 2025, Burgeap announced the creation of an Ecological Engineering division (pôle Génie Ecologique), extending its service surface into nature-based and ecological engineering.

Burgeap generates revenue through project-based professional services fees, typically structured as multi-year contracts, and operates a direct enterprise sales model targeting public-sector and industrial clients. Distribution relies on direct client engagement, a "Demandez un devis" (Request a Quote) web form, and trade show participation (notably Pollutec). Marketing channels include a content program through the Over-View technical blog and the parent Groupe Ginger's broader digital ecosystem. The company is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Groupe Ginger, a diversified engineering group described as the leader in prescription engineering in France, with no evidence of external private equity or venture capital ownership.
