The Viaduc de la Nouvelle Route du Littoral on the island of La Réunion is the longest viaduct in the sea of France. It connects Saint-Denis to La Réunion at La Grande Chaloupe and replaces the current corniche road between Saint-Denis and Possession. Realised by Bouygues Travaux Publics, it was conceived to resist to cyclonic swells as well as drive away vehicles from risks of landslide of the cliff. 

95% of the necessary works for the construction of the viaduct were prefabricated on land, then were transported and deposited by a sea route thanks to the Zourite barge (giant barge created to transport the viaduct piles). 

It took three years of work to complete the construction of the Le Prado shopping centre in Marseille.

The project was carried out as part of a real property programme designed to develop an eco-neighbourhood around the Vélodrome Stadium. Linkcity and Bouygues Bâtiment Sud-Est were the key players in its construction,

The complex, designed by architects Didier Rogeon et Benoy architects, has a resolutely modern, luxury design and spans 4 floors and 7 sub-floors right outside the Orange Vélodrome Stadium. It covers 22,000 m² and includes one department store, one supermarket, boutiques and convenience stores. It is crowned by a glass canopy measuring around 6000 m².

This responsible project is in line with a sustainable approach to construction and is seeking to be labelled BREEAM® Excellent and C2C (“cradle to cradle”, a certification based on the principles of a circular economy: zero pollution and 100% recycling).

This former prefecture of the Seine, located at 17 Boulevard Morlan, will in a few months’ time become “Morland Mixité Capitale”, thanks to the renovation work carried out by Bouygues Bâtiment Ile-de-France.

Located right in the heart of the French capital (in the 4th arrondissement of Paris), it will be one of the first flagship projects of “Reinventing Paris” to be completed.

Its 44,000m² of floor space will host a hotel with 161 rooms, a youth hostel, shops, a crèche, cultural areas and 199 apartments. 

The building complex, designed by the architects David Chipperfield Architects and the CALQ Architecture agency, will be intelligent, interconnected and environmentally friendly, as it will incorporate artificial intelligence solutions to handle the building’s overall energy management.

Developed by Linkcity and realised by Bouygues Bâtiment Ile-de-France and Bouygues Énergies et Services, the Alto Tower is as high as its name suggests: 152 meters and 38 floors of offices overlooking the La Défense district. Its facade clad in glass shards and its flared shape, with floors of areas ranging from 600 m² at the base of the tower to 1,900 m² at its peak, make it stand out from its neighbours. Its insulating double-skin façade means it also has an excellent energy rating. Certified HQE® Exceptional, Wellcore shell silver level and WiredScore platinum, the Alto Tower is the first high-rise building to be awarded the BREEAM® Outstanding label.

The Alto project is being carried out as part of the reconversion and transformation of the Les Saisons district of La Défense into an urban area.

1998-2018: The Stade de France turns twenty! 

Built by a consortium, of which Bouygues Bâtiment Ile-de-France is a part, the Stade de France is an iconic reference for sport and culture, having hosted many popular events in its 20-year existence, including major international sports competitions, concerts, festivals, trade shows, and more.

Built for the Football World Cup in France, its 80,000-seat capacity and elliptical disk-shaped roof, suspended 42 metres off the ground, make it the largest stadium in France.

Through its concessions division, Bouygues Construction is in charge of its management and operation.

Located on the right bank of the Garonne River, the Bordeaux Métropole Arena was devised by the Rudy Ricciotti architectural firm and designed by Bouygues Bâtiment Centre Sud-Ouest.

Fully modular, with a capacity of 11,000 seats, it is intended to host major cultural and variety shows, as well as sporting events. This place of convergence and conviviality, with its architectural design and features, measures up to the world's largest arenas. Its rounded shape and the white of its concrete envelope, like a pebble deposited by the river, set it apart from the landscape.

Beyond its curvaceous architecture, the theatre is the result of a local and social project promoting the Bordeaux Metropolis.

Being a responsible company, Bouygues Bâtiment Centre Sud-Ouest supported local employment by entrusting 80% of the project to companies based in Nouvelle Aquitaine. The project also took on social commitments, with 35% of work packages awarded to SMEs and 18,000 working hours given to professional integration schemes.

Designed by the architect Dominique Perrault and built by Bouygues Bâtiment Ile-de-France and Bouygues Energies & Services, the Longchamp racecourse, now called ParisLongchamp Racecourse, once again opened its doors, a full 160 years after its inauguration.

Following significant work demolishing the old structures on the famous site, the works teams built a new, larger grandstand with a streamlined design. It also places spectators much closer to the finish line. In terms of innovation, a mobile BIM tool was used during the construction phase that enabled builders to access information and schematics directly at the site.

The racecourse, which can hold 10,000 people and stretches over 160 metres, is environmentally friendly, welcoming, and innovative.

Bouygues Entreprises France Europe has produced the first, in partnership with the University of Nantes.

An original concept, BatiPrint3D™ is the result of multidisciplinary studies conducted by researchers from the Laboratory of Digital Sciences of Nantes and the Institute of Research for Civil and Mechanical Engineering. This technology made it possible to deliver a 95 m² social housing unit in record time.

In technical terms, the arm of a polyarticulated industrial robot deposited three layers of material: two layers of expansive foam serving as formwork for a third layer of concrete. The robotic arm is guided directly around the slab by a laser sensor, using the digital mock-up of the house.

Yhnova is the first in a long series. Its distinguishing feature lies in its complex architectural shape, with curved walls and rounded angles.

Thanks to Bouygues Bâtiment Ile-de-France and Bouygues Energies & Services, the piscine des Amiraux is back to its original glory. Built in the 1930s and classified as a historical monument, the pool was dreamed up by architect Henri Sauvage. Now it has been fully renovated and enhanced to incorporate modern-day usages while preserving its historical legacy.

The execution of this project consisted of bringing the building up to technical and accessibility standards and remodelling the reception areas, changing rooms, lavatories, and showers. A new heating process was developed, the glass ceiling was faithfully recreated, and the floor and wall coverings were restored to their original condition.

Finally, the centrepiece of the building, the 30- by 10-metre pool, was also demolished and rebuilt just the way it was originally, with all of the original construction details.

Floatgen is the first 100% European floating wind turbine, built and assembled in the port of Saint-Nazaire. Powerful of 2 MW, once the wind turbine starts working, it will produce the equivalent of the annual power consumption of 5,000 people.

This innovation in the renewable energy field is the result of cutting-edge work by Bouygues Travaux Publics and seven other European partners.

The major innovation is the floating foundation built to hold the wind turbine. The Bouygues Construction subsidiary developed a light, self-compacting concrete formula to reduce the weight of the structure as much as possible. This know-how confirms its expertise in terms of building port and maritime infrastructure.

The potential of offshore floating wind farms is immense as it enables electricity of renewable origin to be produced far from the coastline, with a reduced impact on the landscape and at a better price, thanks to the quality of the offshore wind. Bouygues Construction’s expertise in terms of maritime civil engineering is a vital asset in supporting the energy transition.

As part of the Monaco offshore extension project, Bouygues Travaux Publics is building maritime infrastructure as the first step of the six-hectare expansion of the city into the sea. This maritime infrastructure consists of a fill enclosed by a band of 18 trapezoid reinforced concrete caissons and will serve as base for construction of the new eco-neighbourhood in Monaco.

The caisson precasting area is located in Marseille-Fos, the large French seaport and consists of a 10,000 sq.m area working space at the dock, which will be used primarily for preparing the reinforcements and assembling formwork for the caissons. It also includes a 32,000 sq.m area of water, where three times the size of a football field, where a floating dock will be positioned. This 56-metre-long, 50- metre-wide and 27-meter-tall floating dock will make it possible to prefabricate the 18 caissons, a first in France. 

For the first time since its inauguration in 1909, Hôtel de Crillon got a second wind thanks to Bouygues Bâtiment Ile de France. This large-scale project aimed to fully renovate the luxurious 14,000 sq. m building, a surface area equivalent of the Stade de France playground. 

Bouygues Construction’s know-how enabled the emblematic palace of Place de la Concorde in Paris to benefit from a new decoration scheme, bigger rooms, new restaurants and a basement dedicated to well-being featuring a spa and pool. And all of this to improve the clients’ comfort. 

The Epicéa project is a major first for Bouygues Bâtiment Ile-de-France. In Issy-les-Moulineaux, the Bouygues Construction subsidiary has designed a 100% wooden residential project that covers an area of 1,550 square metres. In addition to the structure itself, Epicéa is one of the first French projects with the BBCA (Association pour le développement du Bâtiment Bas Carbone) label for low carbon footprint buildings.

This new generation of housing includes 23 residential units over 3 storeys, private terraces and small gardens on the ground floor, and a basement with 23 parking spaces.

The Gran Hotel Manzana project (Cuba) consisted of the transformation of a building in the historic centre of Havana into a 5* hotel. The reconversion of this heritage building was based on 3 principles: the restoration of the façade to exactly how it was, the renovation of the shopping gallery on the ground floor and the creation of an interior patio.

The Gran Hotel Manzana has 246 rooms, 50 of which are suites, 4 bars, 2 restaurants and an infinity edge pool on the roof. The handover of this emblematic project took place in April 2017.

Bouygues Bâtiment International completed the Design & Build part of the new Zagreb airport project, the inauguration of which took place in March 2017. The company is also a shareholder in the concession company MZLZ, to which the Croatian state has entrusted the operation of the airport for a period of 30 years.

Over the works period of 36 months, from 2013 to 2016, 66,000 m² of space was created, to which 100,000 m² of taxiways, 8 contact boarding gates, 30 checking-in desks and 1,195 parking spaces were added, with a capacity that will be able to reach 8 million passengers per year.

Ridge Hospital in Accra (Ghana) is a regional healthcare hub consisting of some 30,000 m² over 5 levels. Handed over on a turnkey basis, it consists of a new building with 420 beds, a building with 42 apartments and a training centre for anaesthetists. Bouygues Bâtiment International dealt with the financing arrangements, the design, the construction, the supply and fitting of the furnishings and medical equipment, in addition to training in the use of this equipment and its maintenance for 3 years.

This ambitious and complex project, led by the Bouygues Bâtiment International teams from 2014 to 2017, has received LEED® Healthcare certification, notably by using solar energy for the electricity supply. A first on the African continent.

Bouygues Construction played a key part in boring the tunnels from the French side of the Channel Tunnel. Located between France and Great Britain, the Channel Tunnel provides a completely underground 50-kilometre link between the two countries, 37 kilometres of which is under the sea. It was bored at a maximum depth of 40 m below sea level. The cross-channel connection consists of two 7.60 m-diameter single-track tunnels (one in each direction) and a central service tunnel (4.80 m in diameter) for maintenance, ventilation and safety. Both underground routes were designed to allow trains to transfer from one tunnel to the other. At the time, the Channel Tunnel was the longest undersea tunnel to be built using TBMs.

The Bouygues Bâtiment Ile-de-France subsidiary of Bouygues Construction renovated the famous Royal Monceau luxury hotel in the 8th arrondissement of Paris. Didier Poignant was the architect involved in the project, alongside designer Philippe Starck. The works not only gave the hotel a new look, but also a new positioning on the market.

The Bouygues Bâtiment Ile-de-France subsidiary of Bouygues Construction provided restructuring and all-trade services for the Le Monde newspaper headquarters construction project. Notable features in the 11-storey building include a 140-seat auditorium, a restaurant, a cafeteria, chill-out zones, and a car park. Screen printed glass displaying the front page of the newspaper is used to double coat the building’s façade.

The Bouygues Bâtiment Ile-de-France subsidiary of Bouygues Construction carried out renovations at the Ritz Paris in Place Vendôme. The hotel reopened its doors in June 2016 following four years of works involving 600 Bouygues Construction employees and several specialist artisans including cabinetmakers, stonemasons, and plasterers, to name a few. Works involved creating a summer restaurant with a sliding glass roof, a larger number of suites, an extension to the ballroom, and integrating the latest technological innovations, all without compromising the authenticity of the Parisian establishment.
