October 2020 - French group Fondasol, an engineering consultancy group serving the construction industry and a major player in the geotechnical engineering sector in France with a history dating back to 1958, is being joined by Canadian company Solroc, specialised in the environment, geotechnical engineering and building materials quality control.
A multidisciplinary approach, a range of complementary areas of competence, advanced technical skills, people-centred values: these are the vectors of a shared vision that has led us to seal the merger that we are delighted to announce today!
The integration of Solroc will enable Fondasol Group to accelerate its growth on the international market and establish a solid base in North America.
For its part, when it decided to join Fondasol Group, Solroc was choosing an independent partner:
Characteristics that were all the more attractive to Solroc in a Canadian context where there are plenty of large infrastructure projects in the pipeline.
The aim of this merger between Fondasol and Solroc is to enable all the group's clients to access an ever wider offering of services.
Relying on the body of expertise acquired by Fondasol Group over the last 60 years in investigations, engineering skills and technical expertise, Solroc will now be able to offer an expanded range of geotechnical engineering services. This offering will be completed by an engineering approach that constitutes an innovation on the Canadian market, in dimensioning for the construction and rehabilitation sectors (mid- and high-rise residential/tertiary buildings, industrial sites, infrastructure, civil engineering structures).
On the other hand, Fondasol Group will benefit from Solroc's experience in monitoring environmental sites and its building materials quality control labs (asbestos, pyrite, etc.).
One of Fondasol Group's great strengths is its geographical proximity to its clients, thanks to some thirty agencies.
Solroc, on the other hand, operates out of its headquarters in the Saint-Laurent borough of Montreal.
The creation of local agencies will allow Solroc to extend its operational and client base for the future, also helping to drive the development of its overall geotechnical engineering, environmental and materials control offering and of its expertise in complex in situ investigations.
