This 5,400 metre-long sea viaduct, which will connect Saint-Denis (the capital of Reunion Island) to La Grande Chaloupe, is a major component of the New Coastal Road. The aim is to replace the current road along the coast between Saint-Denis and La Possession, which is dangerously exposed to the risk of rock falls and submersion under the waves during storms. For this project, initiated by Bouygues Travaux Publics, over 95% of the structure will be prefabricated on dry land before being put in place mainly from the sea.
In October, after the launching last June of the phase involving the prefabrication of the pillars and voussoirs, the barge Zourite (a giant barge constructed to transport the pillars of the future viaduct) transported and successfully put in place the three sections of Pillar 48, the first pillar of Reunion Island’s Coastal Viaduct to be erected in the sea.
We invite you to relive all the operational stages of this extraordinary project in this video:
The so-called ‘tertiary’ decree, applicable since 2019, imposes a gradual reduction in the energy consumption of this type of building up until 2050. Like any new regulation, this involves a period of adaptation - especially as the objectives set are ambitious. However, the ‘Syndicat professionnel des entreprises de la transition énergétique et numérique’ (Serce) (Professional Union of Energy and Digital Transition Companies)considers them to befully attainable.
Sharing information so that all project stakeholders have the same view of the project. Welcome to the BIM era! Every week for a month, you can learn about one project where BIM is being used innovatively. Today we are looking at the ABC demonstrator in Grenoble, by Linkcity Sud-Est.
You must have crossed a few without knowing where they came from. Whether crossing rivers, spanning mountains, or connecting communities, bridges shape the landscape, defy the laws of gravity and often take our breath away. Bouygues Construction’s bridge building expertise made these engineering marvels possible. Discover some of the most remarkable achievements. 1+
In Grenoble, Bouygues Construction aims at “global” sustainable habitats! Imagine a self-contained building capable of … salvaging, filtering and reusing rainwater and grey water; capturing, storing, and redistributing solar energy; optimising waste management through waste sorting and composting; allowing each resident to feel responsible for their environment and act: social neighbour networks for mutual assistance […]
