At SA LA GARONNE, no worksite is anonymous. Every week our crews work on networks the city relies on daily, often in conditions few companies take on: city centre, deep excavation, live networks.

We are 35 people, split across four site crews, a workshop and a design office. Three generations of the same family have led the company since 1956: we know each other, we talk, and decisions are made quickly.

We recruit regularly, to strengthen our crews and to pass on know-how that can only be learned by doing.
