Core offering

ABAK Ingénierie is a multi-agency French structural engineering consultancy (bureau d'étude structure) that designs and calculates building and infrastructure structures in concrete, wood, and metal. The firm delivers four core service lines — concrete structural studies, wood structural studies, structural diagnostics, and VRD (voirie et réseaux divers) infrastructure engineering — across all project phases from feasibility through execution, serving architects, developers, public authorities, and private individuals.

Product overview

ABAK Ingénierie is a multi-agency structural engineering firm (bureau d'étude structure) providing specialized engineering services for construction projects. The company operates as a unified service offering through four interconnected core disciplines: Étude Structure Béton (concrete structural studies), Étude Structure Bois (wood structural studies), Diagnostic Structure (structural diagnostics), and VRD (urban infrastructure engineering). These services are delivered across five regional agencies (Nantes, Bordeaux, Aquitaine, Occitanie, and Provence) under the Collectif QUARCO network, enabling cross-disciplinary collaboration on projects ranging from residential construction to large-scale public infrastructure.

Products and services

• Étude Structure Béton (Concrete Structural Studies) Structural engineering design, modeling, and execution studies for concrete construction projects including buildings and infrastructure. Engineers conceive adapted structures combining technical know-how with an innovative approach to ensure solidity, safety, and cost optimization for developers, architects, public authorities, and individuals.
• Étude Structure Bois (Wood Structural Studies) Wood structure engineering covering CLT, glulam (bois lamellé-collé), and timber-frame (charpente) design, calculation, and execution plans for all project types. Includes framing, beams, lintels, floors, and frames delivered by specialized wood-construction engineers for residential, public, and large-scale timber projects such as France's largest wood-frame high school.
• Diagnostic Structure (Structural Diagnostics) Structural assessment services evaluating the condition of existing buildings and infrastructure, including damage diagnostics, building pathology expertise, feasibility studies, and recommendations for repair, renovation, or reinforcement of existing structures. Delivered by specialized pathology engineers using advanced inspection and analysis techniques.
• VRD (Voirie et Réseaux Divers) Infrastructure Engineering Urban infrastructure engineering covering road design, utility networks, hydraulic studies, earthwork planning, and civil engineering works. Supports project owners through to VRD studies for urban development and civil engineering projects, coordinating with environmental and regulatory constraints to deliver durable, functional outcomes.

Broad incumbents

• Tractebel (Engie): Global engineering consultancy (formerly Coyne et Bellier in France) covering buildings, energy, and infrastructure. Provides structural and multi-disciplinary engineering on large French public and private projects that overlap with ABAK's market.
• Egis: Major French engineering group active in buildings, infrastructure, and project management. Provides structural and multi-disciplinary engineering services comparable in scope to ABAK, but as part of a much larger portfolio serving public and private clients.
• Bureau Veritas: Global testing, inspection and certification firm with a major French construction-services arm. Competes with ABAK in structural diagnostics, technical control, and construction-phase verification, but at much larger scale and broader scope.
• Ingérop: Independent French engineering group covering structural studies, VRD, infrastructure, and project management. Similar multi-disciplinary scope to ABAK with broader geographic reach across France and Europe.
• SNC-Lavalin / Atkins (now AtkinsRéalis): Global engineering services firm with significant French operations in buildings and infrastructure. Competes on larger-scale structural and project-management mandates alongside smaller local BETs like ABAK.
• Setec: French engineering group with strong building and infrastructure practices including structural studies (setec tpi, setec bau, setec diadès). Comparable to ABAK's core structural and diagnostic offerings but with national and international footprint.
• Artelia: Large French engineering and project management consultancy with structural, VRD, and infrastructure capabilities. Operates across all building types similar to ABAK but at significantly larger scale and with broader geographic reach.

Others

• Eiffage Construction: Major French construction group with internal engineering/design capabilities. Listed as a client partner on projects like Initial Prado Marseille and competes for design-build mandates that include structural engineering scope overlapping with ABAK's offering.

Direct peers

• Ginger Group: French engineering group providing structural studies, diagnostics, geotechnical and environmental engineering. Closely comparable to ABAK in offering mix (concrete, wood, metal, diagnostic) and in serving public authorities and private developers in France.
• SOCOTEC: French leader in technical inspection, construction diagnostics, and structural control. Overlaps directly with ABAK's Diagnostic Structure and technical-control services, serving the same developers, architects, and public clients across France.
