…by obtaining France’s largest pipeline order in recent years. The SADE (SADE Special Works and Île-de-France RD) – EHTP – SETEC HYDRATEC and CABINET MERLIN consortium recently won its bid for a 30-month design-building order from the ADP Group (formerly Aéroports de Paris). ADP Group’s Marne project consists in the laying of a stormwater transfer pipeline from Paris-Charles-de-Gaulle airport to the Marne river. The pipeline path, which runs for some 9km between the municipalities of Gressy and Annet-sur-Marne, will enable the gravitational evacuation of water. Led by SADE Special Works (agent), this complex project combines… +

…to protect the hospital from flooding. Montpellier’s university hospital (CHU) encompasses several sites, including Lapeyronie Hospital, which owes its name to King Louis XV’s surgeon. Located downhill from natural terrain, it flooded regularly in heavy rain and required securing. The CHU thus launched large-scale works, entrusted to SADE. Protective measures in a high-risk context To begin with, the competent authorities initiated emergency works: Building of an embankment along the hospital site Raising by 3.5m of three access points to the hospital (car park, staff entrance, etc.) Laying of a stormwater collector A new phase entrusted to… +

After Boulogne, Villejuif Louis-Aragon and Créteil l’Echat, SADE is continuing its work! Line 15 Line 15 is an underground metro line (75km) which runs throughout the Greater Paris metropolitan area and forms an outer ‘ring road’. Its aim is to decongest the public transport networks and provide an efficient service to the departments surrounding Paris, by forming a regional network alongside the existing transport services. It thus offers the possibility to travel from suburb to suburb without having to transit via central Paris. This ‘ring road’ consists of three sections, including Line 15… +

Civil engineering works, poles and cover slab for basin T30. Built almost 160 years ago, the Clichy-la-Garenne pre-treatment plant (operated by the Paris Wastewater Authority (SIAAP)) is the transit point for a significant proportion of wastewater from the Paris conurbation. The large-scale renovations to this plant include the building of a new 70,000m³ storage basin for surplus rainwater, the modernisation of the current pre-treatment unit and the building of a second unit. Order 1 works began in 2019 with the laying of diaphragm walls, the coupling beam and apron of this imposing T30… +

The adventure of the Rouailler basin began in 2011, in the Livry-Gargan municipality of Seine-Saint-Denis, on behalf of the Departmental Council, with the Water Department acting as project contractor. This new basin will replace the existing facilities, which are no longer adequate given the municipality’s urban growth, and augments the municipality’s service network, notably to include surplus stormwater drainage. On a broader scale, this project forms part of the overall rehabilitation of the department to enhance the sanitary quality of local waterways, by ending the discharge… +

A daunting challenge, given the Allinges and Lyaud mountains, to be met with an MTBM! A portion of the water supply pipe, dating from 1936, which links the catchment point in the natural springs of the Blaves galleries (Lyaud) to the Chavannes reservoir (Allinges) was collapsing and in need of replacement. This is a particularly significant operation for the Thonon conglomeration and its users, as the network in question supplies 90% of the town of Thonon-les-Bains and ensures safe water for more than 30,000 inhabitants. Given the local topography (a hill over… +
