Entrepreneurship and teamwork

As a multidisciplinary engineer team, we share our knowledge and work collectively to realize new projects and innovate.

Partnership

Because a geothermal project is complex, engaging and capital-intensive, and because natural resources are sometimes “capricious”, CFG secures its approach by promoting targeted, technical, commercial and R&D partnerships with a permanent concern of sharing and mobilization towards the goal of its customers.

Directions

CFG’s activity is managed within two technical departments:

The Technical Department “Engineering – Project Management” for studies, engineering and project management.
The Technical Department “Maintenance Monitoring Operation” for maintenance activities, monitoring of operation, sales of equipment and products (including Kits Labège).
