International   INSTITUTE FOR GEOTECHNICS AND MATERIALS

International IGM s.a.r.l. has been in the market since 1997.  IGM stands for the Institute for Geotechnics and Materials (Institut de Geotechnique et Materiaux).  The main idea was to create a focal institute able to handle major projects and solve tough problems related to geotechnical and materials engineering.  

With its engineering team, sizeable fleet, and laboratory facilities, IGM services cover design/build solutions in specialty foundation and geotechnical engineering.  Lately IGM has extended its services to include structural evaluation and strengthening engineering techniques, as well as electrical power engineering, and engineering software development.

The institute is managed by its owners, Dr. Marc Ballouz and Mrs. Hala Nasr  with the aim of satisfying its clients by providing top quality work delivered on time.   The institute has grouped its operations in five different divisions:

These divisions are working in parallel and following the ISO 9000 recommendations for future certification.

Presently the company is counting on a staff of about 30 people, a laboratory fully equipped  for testing soils and materials, a 2000 m² maintenance yard with manufacturing capabilities, and a sizable fleet of specialized equipment for piling, micro piling, high pressure grouting, anchoring, nailing, shotcreting, soil investigation, in situ testing, quality control, non-destructive testing (NDT & PIT), coring, etc..
