INGEMETAL

What INGEMETAL does

INGEMETAL SAS, operating commercially as INGEFORCE, is a privately held French engineering consulting firm (bureau d'études) specializing in metallic structures for complex construction and infrastructure projects. The firm employs approximately 10 people and operates from offices in Florange, Sceaux, and Nantes in France, with additional presence in Luxembourg and an international desk. Its services address the full project lifecycle: structural diagnostics and verifications, execution studies (calculations and plans), Assistance à Maîtrise d'Ouvrage (AMO), Maîtrise d'Oeuvre (project coordination), and millimeter-precision 3D laser scanning for existing-condition modeling. The firm is OPQIBI-certified and targets demanding industrial sectors including railway, nuclear, energy, naval, civil engineering, and tertiary buildings.

The company's revenue model is professional services B2B: engagements are won through direct contact and bespoke quotations, with multi-year contracts typical for complex studies. Customers are enterprise-grade construction and industrial firms; named clients include Eiffage, Arcelor Mittal, Systra, and OGER International. Internationally, the firm has executed projects in Switzerland (Lausanne tramway, 2023) and is pursuing new use cases in renewable-energy retrofits (photovoltaic roof capacity assessments in 2024). Go-to-market is direct enterprise field sales via phone, email, and website contact forms, with marketing limited to a LinkedIn presence and a bilingual (FR/EN) website.

The company's core technology is engineering expertise in metallic structural analysis, augmented by 3D laser scanning for accurate existing-condition capture. There is no disclosed AI/ML capability, no proprietary software platform, and no API or SDK offering; the firm's value proposition rests on senior engineering judgment, regulatory compliance experience across French, Luxembourg, and international standards, and the ability to deliver integrated studies under tight deadlines. Ownership is private with no disclosed external investors, funding rounds, M&A, or leadership changes in the available data.

Products and services

• Maîtrise d'Oeuvre (Project Coordination and Supervision) Project coordination and supervision service that manages every stage of a complex construction project from initial planning through final delivery, guaranteeing optimal results for enterprise clients in railway, nuclear, energy, industrial, and infrastructure sectors.
• Études d'Exécution (Execution Studies) Engineering service that produces all calculations and detailed execution plans required to ensure the structural solidity and feasibility of metallic-structure construction projects in compliance with current standards.
• Assistance Maîtrise d'Ouvrage (AMO) Technical advisory service providing decision support to project owners throughout the project phases to secure each technical decision and optimize project outcomes for enterprise construction clients.
• Diagnostic et Vérifications (Structural Assessment) Structural analysis service that examines the condition of existing buildings, identifies constraints, and enables project expansion and adapted re-use such as photovoltaic rooftop installations for enterprise asset owners and operators.
• Scan 3D (3D Laser Scanning) High-precision 3D laser scanning service that captures existing structures with millimetric accuracy, enabling reliable as-built modeling, dependable engineering studies, and constraint anticipation from the design phase for enterprise construction and infrastructure clients.
