Design

Design and methods office

Our Design and Methods Department is made up of engineers and methods experts who work directly with the various production departments, in particular the drilling machines, but also the measuring devices and drilling equipment for the development of new technologies. The team uses powerful software such as Solidworks, Solidworks Composers and Automation Studios to develop new equipment but also to evolve and improve existing products to remain at the cutting edge of technology.

All the tools of our Design Office combined with the expertise and competence of our employees guarantee you products of the highest quality.

Production

APAGEO's teams are organised by skill area through the various internal production departments, all working together in direct liaison. All these departments are spread over 3 sites, with the total material resources spread over a total area of more than 7500 m² of workshops. The workshops are made up of numerous standard and robotized numerical lathes, machining centres, milling machines, mortising machines, automatic welding robots, induction furnaces, sandblasters, automatic band saws, etc. The integration of the production and sales chain by means of monitoring software allows for efficient and continuous control of orders from procurement (purchase of materials and manufacturing) to delivery.

Quality controls of the material are systematically carried out during production and before shipment, they can be carried out under the control of the customer, before reception in our workshops.

In memory of Michel GAMBIN

En mémoire Michel (Mike) GAMBIN Michel Gambin est décédé le 30 juin 2024 dans sa 94ème année. Il est diplômé de l'Ecole Nationale des Ponts et Chaussées (PARIS) en 1954 où il reçut entre autres les enseignements du Prof. Jean Kerisel, il obtint en 1955 un Master of Arts de lUniversité Harvard et M.I.T. (USA) où il suivit les cours de MM. Karl Terzaghi, Arthur Casagrande et Donald W Taylor. Vice-président du Comité Français de Mécanique des Sols et de Géotechnique (CFMS) de 1998 à 2003, Michel Gambin a prononcé la conférence honorifique Coulomb en 2010 : « les théories et leur évolution face à la réalité en géotechnique » ( (https://lnkd.in/dr-v8-HD), partageant ainsi l'expérience de sa longue carrière commencée aux côtés de Louis Menard, poursuivie chez Soletanche puis Apagéo. Michel Gambin est connu de toute la communauté géotechnique comme un des grands promoteurs de l'essai pressiométrique. Co-directeur de la publication de la revue Sols-Soils, il fut un infatigable défenseur de la diffusion de la connaissance et de la pratique au sein de la communauté géotechnique, en particulier francophone, par de nombreuses actions dont nous citons ici les plus marquantes : - Relecteur et éditeur interne de toute la documentation technique de Louis Ménard (les fameuses notices Ménard « D » ) - Fondateur, et rédacteur en chef de 1995 à Septembre 2007, de la Lettre de la géotechnique, il passe beaucoup de son temps à rassembler les informations, résumés de congrès internationaux, bibliographies, comptes-rendus de lectures, notices biographiques, etc. (https://lnkd.in/dKmpRc3d) - Animateur de la Commission pour la coopération et la Francophonie en Géotechnique. - Création en 1999 d'un Comité Transnational des Géotechniciens d'Afrique - Présidence du groupe de normalisation européen « Essais d'expansion en forage » - Organisateur et co-éditeur du Symposium IPS5-PRESSIO 2005 « 50 ans de pressiomètres » - Très nombreuses contributions scientifiques dans le monde entier : articles, conférences, organisation de congrès. Le Prof. Roger Frank la interviewé en 2009 (Reminiscences, publié dans le Bulletin ISSMGE), ce qui nous permet de disposer de nombreux détails intéressants sur sa formation et sa carrière, sur ses travaux concernant les essais au pressiomètre Ménard, le compactage dynamique, etc. Il décrit également ses liens avec le CFMS et l'ISSMGE et ses activités extrascolaires.

Michel Gambin is known throughout the geotechnical community as one of the great promoters of pressuremeter testing. Co-publisher of the journal Sols-Soils, he was a tireless advocate of the dissemination of knowledge and practice within the geotechnical community, particularly in the French-speaking world, through a wide range of activities, the most notable of which are listed below: - Proofreader and in-house editor of all Louis Ménard's technical documentation (the famous Ménard "D" notices) - Founder and editor-in-chief of the Lettre de la géotechnique from 1995 to September 2007, he spent a great deal of his time gathering information, summaries of international conferences, bibliographies, book reviews, biographical notes, etc. (https://lnkd.in/dKmpRc3d) - Coordinator of the Commission pour la coopération et la Francophonie en Géotechnique. - Creation in 1999 of a Transnational Committee of Geotechnicians from Africa. - Chair of the European standardisation group "Expansion tests in drilling". - Organiser and co-editor of the IPS5-PRESSIO 2005 Symposium "50 years of pressure gauges". - Numerous scientific contributions worldwide: articles, conferences, organisation of congresses. His impressive bibliography is available in French here : https://www.apageo.com/bibliographie-de-michel-gambin Prof Roger Frank interviewed M.Gambin in 2009 (Reminiscences, published in the ISSMGE Bulletin) ; this document gives many interesting details on his education and his career, on his work about Ménard Pressuremeter testing, dynamic compaction, etc. It also describes his links with CFMS and ISSMGE and his extra-curricular activities.
