WATER
Ingerop meets the needs of its clients and supports them in all types of assignments and projects related to the water sector :
- River structures: canals, locks, dikes and dams, hydropower facilities, wetlands, restoration of degraded water systems to preserve their hydraulic and ecological functions and their biodiversity.
- Maritime and port engineering: maritime hydraulic design, coastal protection, tourist, commercial and industrial harbors.
- Sanitation and hydraulic networks: sewerage and drainage networks for transport infrastructure, wastewater treatment plants, drinking water stations, desalination plants, pumping stations, supply networks, etc.
- Flood assessment: flood management and prevention studies and plans, hydrological modeling integrating climate change effects, 1D, 2D and 3D hydraulic modeling.
- Climate assessment: climate data studies, diagnosis of past climate, impact modeling and assessment of the resilience of structures, adaptation strategies and plans.
Whether you need a targeted assessment or an overall, cross-functional overview, our role is to deliver strategic advice, cutting-edge technical expertise or appropriate project management.
The scope of our offering relies on the expertise of our staff in our various branches in France and abroad, who work in direct contact with each of our clients to respond to their specific challenges.
Ingerop believes that responsible, committed engineering requires a constant investment in R&D and training.
This is why we transmit our knowledge in the top higher education institutions. Likewise, in a concern to keep a leading edge in emerging topics, we conduct research, including doctoral work, in climate change mitigation and adaptation.

Our specialized coastal and port engineering teams are skilled in civil and geotechnical engineering, as well as in all aspects of the physical environment. In particular, they are able to carry out modelling analyses to meet port protection and operability requirements, and address a wide range of issues:
- Protection of harbors against wave agitation (Tomawac, Artemis, Refonde)
- Assessment of the hydro-sedimentary impact of projects in the operation phase, dispersion of turbid plumes or pollution in the construction phase (Telemac 2D, 3D, Sisyphe)
- Definition and optimization of mooring and berthing equipment (Optimoor)
- Hydrodynamic stability analysis of floating pontoons (Wamit)
- Definition of the level of protection for coastal structures (estimated crossings, swell sheer stress, etc.), accounting for necessary adaptation to climate change.
On a day-to-day basis, these tools provide input for technical and environmental studies, enabling us to design projects that are both suitable and sustainable. Ongoing in-house development projects focus on technical expertise, innovation and eco-design in the service of our clients’ projects.
For over 20 years, our engineers have gained extensive experience with HEC RAS, Telemac 2D and Mike Flood hydraulic models, and are able to conduct simulations in 1D, 1D coupled 2D or full 2D, depending on watercourse configuration, issues and project goals.
We can couple the surface models with the stormwater network, thus faithfully simulating the full complexity of intense rainfall mechanisms in urbanized areas.
We use powerful computing workstations that enable us to work on very large models with several million meshes, representing rivers several hundred kilometers long, while maintaining the precision demanded by our clients.
We help our clients to define the ecological measures and in particular the carbon offsetting measures linked to the development project.
We continue to support the implementation of these measures thanks to our expertise in ecological engineering: transfers of protected species, restoration of watercourses and wetlands, removal or adjustment of hydraulic structures, restoration and management of natural environments….
Our ecologists leverage the Group’s expertise in project management to carry out ecological engineering work from the design phase to the completion of construction.
I run a department that combines skills in ecological expertise to understand the issues, and in ecological engineering to find solutions based on ecosystem services. This common core enables us to share our expertise and add our biodiversity value with our colleagues, partners and clients.
In the course of our assignments, we are involved upstream of the programs, providing support to projects to ensure public acceptance, in eco-design, as well as execution monitoring.”
