The company
A family business from Toulouse, since 1956.
Three generations of the Pascual family, nearly 70 years of worksites across the Toulouse area, 35 employees and one conviction: water networks deserve specialists.
Who we are
The water trade, and nothing else.
SA LA GARONNE is a family-owned civil engineering company founded in Toulouse on 13 January 1956 by Eloy Pascual. Michel Pascual took over in 1987, then Nicolas Pascual in 2017: three generations at the head of a company focused, from the outset, on a single field — water and sewer networks.
This specialisation has allowed us to build recognised expertise on the most constrained urban worksites, to invest early in trenchless rehabilitation and to design our own tools, such as the RIC inspection robot, patented in 2018.
Today, 35 employees split across four site crews, a workshop and a design office uphold that standard every day for local authorities, network operators and water sector players. Activity breaks down into sewerage (75%), drinking water (15%) and trenchless rehabilitation (10%).
Milestones
70 years of history, one consistent path.
Eloy Pascual founds La Garonne
The company is incorporated in Toulouse on 13 January 1956 to meet the city's needs in water and sewer networks.
Michel Pascual takes over
The founder's son takes over the company and strengthens its footing across the Toulouse area: urban worksites, deep excavation, large diameters.
Nicolas Pascual succeeds his father
Third generation at the head of the family business. That continuity sustains a relationship of trust with water sector players in the Toulouse area.
The RIC, a patented inspection robot
La Garonne develops and patents the RIC, a 4K 360° remote inspection robot for sewer structures. Over 120 km of networks have been inspected with it in Toulouse since.
CSR certification, then AFNOR's Engagé RSE label
Led by the QHSE manager, the CSR programme was certified in June 2022 and awarded AFNOR's Engagé RSE label in May 2023. A CSR committee sets and reviews objectives each year.
A technical brand, reliable and moving forward
35 employees, four site crews, a workshop, an in-house design office and a refreshed identity: the company approaches its 70th year as the local benchmark in water networks.
In-house engineering
A design office within the company.
A surveyor-draughtsman and a design engineer work in-house, from tender response through to as-built records. A rare asset for a 35-strong company.
Design office
Study, survey, draw, verify.
- Cost studies and technical bidsA precise response to tenders: reasoned alternatives, phasing and methods.
- Weekly site surveysOne surveyor-draughtsman for four site crews: completed works are surveyed every week.
- Construction and as-built drawingsGenuine responsiveness in producing drawings, for the site as much as for the operator.
- Technical support for the crewsThe design engineer follows the site, anticipates critical points and secures construction choices.
Innovation · patented 2018

Values
What guides our crews.
Six principles, inherited from 70 years in the field, applied to every operation.
Sharp skills in networks, materials, processes and the constraints of the urban subsoil.
Nearly 70 years of worksites in the same area: we know the networks, often since they were built.
A dedicated QHSE manager, AIPR, CATEC, first aid and H0B0 training, checked PPE: the safety of crews and residents is the first condition of every worksite.
Commitments kept on schedule, quality of execution and continuity of service.
Trenchless techniques, phasing, reduced footprint: we respect neighbourhood life during the works.
A labelled CSR programme, sorting and reuse of excavated spoil, low-carbon worksite trials: infrastructure and practices built to last.
