Musée des Confluences

7 September 2010 - New contracts - France

Between early June and late July, in Lyons, on an embankment won from the river at the confluence of the Rhône and the Saône, Menard, a Soletanche Freyssinet subsidiary (VINCI Construction), carried out ground reinforcement works in preparation for the construction of the Musée des Confluences. The company installed almost 5,000 CMCs (controlled modulus columns), to an average depth of 10 m. The operation was undertaken on behalf of the consortium, notably comprising GTM Bâtiment and Génie Civil Lyon (VINCI Construction France), Smac and Permasteelisa France, charged with supplying the structural works, envelope, and area surrounding the future museum.
