On 7 December, the solar sail was installed in Boulogne-Billancourt, on the Meudon side of the city. After a series of static tests, the teams successfully carried out their first kinematic tests of the sail. At a height of 45m, this 200-tonne structure moves nearly 5 metres per minute. Although still under construction, it is a unique technical challenge and represents an unrivalled feat. La Seine Musicale is nearing completion.
This ground-breaking building should be open to the public from April 2017.
While improving energy performance is essential during a renovation project, it is not the sole objective of project managers.

Currently, a Bouygues Construction R&D project, headed by Bouygues Construction Matériel, aims to allow remote control of cranes with video assistance, using augmented reality and even some automation. What is the purpose of this ambitious system, and what does it change for workers on the sites ? Answers with Julien Meyer, manager at the lifting division at Bouygues Construction Matériel at Île-de-France.
