Rising to the environmental challenge posed by construction-site spoil, we have sought to offer a reliable, safe solution for optimising resources.
A consortium consisting of Bouygues Travaux Publics, Soletanche Bachy, and Suez has been tasked with building a new metro station (Fort d’Issy-Vanves-Clamart) that will form part of the planned Line 15 underground rail bypass encircling Paris. In the long term, this new line should unclog the Parisian public transport network and serve the surrounding departments efficiently. Here we take a look at the solutions we have devised in partnership with Suez.
How could we manage the 43 million tonnes of spoil produced by construction of the Grand Paris Express transport line ? How could we rise to this serious environmental challenge? Among other fields, Suez has long specialised in handling contaminated land and recovering earth. It has shared this area of expertise with Bouygues Travaux Publics, Soletanche Bachy, and the Société du Grand Paris (public body in charge of new infrastructure in the Parisian conurbation).
In total this complex project involves:
– 180,000 tonnes of earth examined then excavated at depths reaching 40 metres and volumes reaching 1000m3 per day.
– two thirds of this earth is unaffected or only slightly affected by pollution naturally existing in deep-lying earth.
Suez ensures optimal recovery of the earth and helps reach the target set by the Société du Grand Paris: to recover 70% of the spoil.

Situated in Paris’ 18th arrondissement, the Lourcine Barracks, former Parisian military site built in 1875, will soon be transformed into a university facility. There will be a boarding house for prep-school pupils studying to gain admittance to the elite Grandes Ecoles, and a university centre. L’EPAURIF (public development agency for universities in the Ile-de-France region) […]
Eighteen months ago, Hublo replaced paper-based notices with interactive touchscreens. After the first few trials proved to be a success, the project was expanded. Read on to learn about the roll-out process and the latest developments.
Bouygues Bâtiment Ile-de-France, subsidiary of Bouygues Construction, signed a partnership with Les Canaux to design and build a 170-square-meter terrace. Built from reclaimed materials along the Canal de l’Ourcq and beneath the Maison des Canaux, this terrace was drawn up by architect and set designer Myrtille Fakhreddine and urban gardener Cédric Derouin. A temporary space (the Terrace will be taken down on 2 September), built using materials from company building sites and other sources!
The fact that the population is ageing is not new. But the increase in healthy life expectancy and the massive retirement of baby boomers has significantly accelerated the phenomenon. For example, since 2015 there have been more over 65s than under 18s living in France! And in 2030, one Frenchman out of three will be […]
Intrapreneurship is a way of developing an innovative project without leaving your company. How does it work? What do you need to know before you start? Nicolas Courtois and Nicolas Dubreil, intrapreneurs from NewValue, seasons 1 and 2, told us about their recent experience in the matter.
