ARCANE Ingénierie

What ARCANE Ingénierie does

ARCANE Ingénierie is a France-based structural steel engineering consultancy (bureau d'études) founded in February 2015 by Madame Boitel and headquartered in Pibrac, near Toulouse. The firm provides integrated engineering studies for metal structures across the building lifecycle — from preliminary design and structural calculations through execution plans, fabrication drawings, and on-site surveys. Its service portfolio is organized around three core disciplines: metal framework (charpente métallique), architectural metalwork (serrurerie), and building envelope cladding (bardage), delivered to construction companies, architects, and project developers primarily in the Occitanie region.

The firm's technical practice is grounded in standard European and French structural codes (CM66, Add 80, PS92, Eurocodes 0, 1, 3, and 8) for static, dynamic, and seismic analysis using finite element methods. It employs BIM-enabled 3D modeling — primarily Tekla Structures, AutoCAD, and Robot Structural Analysis — to support collaborative design and execution-ready drawing production, with on-site data capture handled via laser tachymeter and standard telemeter. The 2018 Tekla France BIM Awards 'Mention Spéciale du Jury' for a logistics platform project with GA provides external validation of its BIM modeling capability on complex, large-scale structures.

ARCANE Ingénierie runs a project-based, quote-driven B2B professional services model. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and each engagement is negotiated per project based on scope and complexity. The company is privately held, founder-owned, and has not raised any disclosed external funding. In June 2020 the firm moved into purpose-built offices in the new ZAC de l'Escalette business park in Pibrac — a building the company itself engineered, fabricated, and constructed internally — and concurrently launched OPUS Bureaux, a co-working spin-off that occupies the same facility and extends the firm's footprint beyond core engineering services.
