projects. A subsidiary of Vinci Construction, which

operates out of 80 countries, Menard Canada plays

a key role in the transformation of cities and towns.

Menard Canada was founded in 1971 under the

name Geopac Tech Inc, and was the first Canadian
licensee of Menard Pressuremeter tests, which are

tools used to measure in situ strength and stress-

strain properties of soils and very soft rock. Geopac Pony Warehouse
became an instrumental provider of geotechnical

services, even performing the first Dynamic
Compaction project in the country—a construction

process densifies the soils by repetitively dropping a

10-to-30 ton weight on the ground using a specially
adapted crane.

As its relationship grew, Geopac started to introduce

Menard’s other techniques to the Canadian Market.

In 2007 Geopac was sold to the Menard Group and
officially changed the name to Menard Canada in

2017. Menard Canada has been carrying on the

technical traditions of Geopac Tech Inc of quality
ground improvement design and construction ever

since.
