NOS CLIENTS
LIM SAS & LIM LOGGING
LIM SAS was incorporated in 1985 near Lyon in France, by Mr. Frédéric Malinet, a geologist.
​
The LIM SAS corporate objects are the design, manufacture and marketing of measuring instruments and software applied to drilling for following purposes, geotechnical, special foundations, drill and blast, mining and hydrogeological exploration.
​
To complete its product offering, on January 1, 2017 LIM SAS acquired Electromind, a company based in Luxembourg and specialized in the development, manufacture and marketing of logging (borehole geophysical) equipment.
​
Electromind became LIM LOGGING.
​
Beyond the simple design of measuring instruments, by offering hardware and software, LIM is positioned as a provider of complete solutions for the measurement and acquisition of drilling data, whether during drilling or in boreholes after their completion.
​
LIM SAS & LIM LOGGING’s main business areas are Special Foundations, Geotechnics, Hydrogeology, Mining and Extractive Industries as well as Underground Work (Tunnels).
