Special foundations for new Graville bridge

1 May 2014 - New contracts - France

In Le Havre (Normandy), in order to ease congestion at the entry into the city in the Graville neighbourhood, the flyover crossing the railway lines will be replaced by a 290 m-long engineering structure to be built by a joint venture comprising GTM Normandie Centre (VINCI Construction France), leader, and Soletanche Bachy Pieux (Soletanche Freyssinet/VINCI Construction). Soletanche Bachy Pieux, in charge of the special foundations, will install Refsol®-type piles beneath the access ramps, a fast, economical and ecological technique that limits any overconsumption of concrete.
The works are scheduled to start in May 2014. Total value: €7.4m.
