Every construction project and human activity should minimize the impact on our communities and natural resources such as groundwater and surface water. Hydrogeology and hydrology are designed to protect the environment during construction. This expertise allows us to preserve water quality, conserve the resource, and mitigate the risk of contamination.
Fully Compliant Projects

Today, the world faces many water-related challenges. Natural disasters, potable water access, water management, and the protection of drinking water sources are among the issues that are difficult to control. In addition, some types of work can compromise the quality of groundwater, such as landfill projects involving drilling that may reach the water table. Economic activities, industrial facilities and quarries also have an impact on the quality of drinking water.
The CIMA+ team helps clients assess the constraints and issues of their projects to minimize their impact on the environment and people. We also handle permit applications and construction authorizations in compliance with regional regulations. Our objective is to ensure that every project we manage contributes to the development of communities and a better future.
