ANALYZE TO BUILD BETTER!
Groupe G²N Inc.
The Québec reference for water, air, and soil analyses.
An integrated network of experts — Notreau, Géostar and GMT Lab — united under one banner to offer our clients a comprehensive, sustainable and compliant environmental and geotechnical approach.
Geotechnical Studies and Slope stability evaluations
Our teams perform on-site sampling and laboratory testing to determine the nature, bearing capacity, compactness and behaviour of the soil.
This data makes it possible to design suitable foundations, anticipate risks and ensure the reliability of your structures.
With GMT Lab, you have access to precise expertise and reliable results so you can build with full confidence.
Materials engineering (Soils, Concrete, and Aggregates).
Concrete: we verify the strength, durability, composition and performance of fresh and hardened concrete to ensure the reliability of structures.
Soils: our analyses determine the nature and physical properties of soils for various studies and applications.
Aggregates: we verify the compliance of granular materials to ensure they meet applicable standards and uses.
With GMT Lab, you benefit from accurate results, rigorous quality control and technical support for high-performance materials and durable projects.

Quality control of materials on site
Essential for construction projects: concrete pour, compaction test, excavation bottom verification, approval of grain-size data sheet and mix design (asphalt and concrete).

Slope stability evaluations
A slope stability study is a geotechnical analysis that verifies whether a slope or excavation wall is stable enough to avoid sliding, collapse, or deformation.

Geotechnical Testing and Investigation Services
Soil bearing-capacity studies and tests, preliminary geotechnical investigations, and pre-construction site inspections.

Soil, concrete, and aggregate testing
Retained and passing sieve analysis for granular materials (MG20, MG112, MG56, etc.), shear strength, Atterberg limits, water content, compressive strength, hydrometer (sedimentometry), Proctor, consolidation tests, and more.

Evolution of our companies
Groupe G²N Inc., Géostar, Notreau, GMT Lab
Founded in 1999 by Mrs. Susie Léger, a geologist by training, Geostar inc. first set up its offices in the former chapel at 207 Principal Street in Brownsburg-Chatham. The team, then made up of three employees, specialized in drinking water potability analysis for the surrounding municipalities and for residents of the region. A few years later, the company expanded its offering by adding soil testing services for septic installations for individual homeowners.
In 2006, Mrs. Léger, her son Mr. Ian Ménard and their associate Mrs. Guylaine Tardif founded Laboratoire Notreau, marking the opening of the air quality analysis department at 216 Principal Street in Brownsburg-Chatham.
In 2023, Mrs. Léger and her son, Mr. Ian Ménard, founded GMT LAB and partnered with Mrs. Sarah Brodhead, Mrs. Liubov Zhuravleva and Mr. Benoît Charlebois to establish an independent laboratory specialized in geotechnics and materials testing. That same year, Geostar moved to 224 Principal Street in Brownsburg-Chatham, and GMT LAB set up its laboratory in the basement of the same building.
The year 2025 marks a major turning point: Mrs. Léger retires and her son, Mr. Ian Ménard, is elected president of the three companies. They are then brought together, giving rise to Groupe G²N Inc.. Mrs. Elyane Breton, who was already working at Geostar, is appointed general manager and joins the group as a partner.
Today, Groupe G²N Inc. is a Quebec-wide reference for water, air and soil analysis. Bringing together Laboratoire Notreau, Géostar and GMT Lab under one banner, the Group forms an integrated network of experts offering a comprehensive environmental approach focused on sustainability, compliance and the quality of service provided to its clients.
