Spiecapag, a subsidiary of Entrepose Contracting (VINCI Construction), has been awarded a contract by GRT Gaz for design, construction and technical support for the commissioning of a 63 km gas pipeline between Villeneuve la Lionne in northern France and Dierrey St Julien in eastern France, as well as several disconnector stations. The pipeline will cross the Seine River in a micro-tunnel near Pont sur Seine in north-central France.
