Many reasons may lead a manager to ask for a hydrogeological survey to be carried out. The need to:

Given its genesis Imageau’s ties to the fields of research and development were always very strong. It is in this spirit Imageau’s R&D led on to the filing of a patent for the innovating SMD. This will to stay on the cutting edge of technology is central to Imageau’s determination to provide its patrons with real added value.
