DPSM pull out all the technical stops
In Béziers, as part of the rehabilitation of a section of the town’s sanitation network. The Béziers Méditerranée Urban Authority has accepted DPSM’s solutions for the rehabilitation of a visitable segment of its sanitation network located right next to the mainline rail station and partly beneath its tracks. A strategic but congested main sewer This section is part of a mains sewer that transports just over half of all the town’s wastewater.

A large-scale project in the heart of Montpellier
…Where the Marseille RD is replacing one of the city’s major feeders. Montpellier’s largest reservoir is located in the university district, fed by the Lez catchment spring, the region’s main resource. In the framework of laying works for Line 5 of the Montpellier tram system, SADE, under the direction of the agent Razel Bec, is replacing one of two feeders transporting water from this reservoir to the city’s secondary reserves. In order to expand its capacity, a 100mm-diameter concrete pipe is to be replaced by a 1,300mm-diameter steel-core pipe along 1,050m and… +

Though ski resorts might not be opening back up right away, some will be ready and raring to go for the season because our Regional Divisions are hard at work! Thanks to fast work by our Metz and Lyon Regional Divisions, two resorts’ water systems are being given a major makeover. Water for snow-making machines: no SADE, no snowflakes! In Haut-Rhin, SMMGM (i.e. Markstein Grand-Ballon massif joint development agency) wanted to extend the Markstein ski resort’s snow-making system. To meet this demand and supply 9 new snow-making machines, the Metz Regional Division (Alsace Agency) set up:… +

SADE is building 2 twin XXL lifting stations for the rainwater collection, treatment and discharge project launched by Caen Normandie CCI. Identical and 50/50 These 2 underground concrete structures, located at either end of the platform, are absolutely identical. They are 7.50m high, 6m long and 3.60m wide, and house four 1,600m3/h pumps operated on a 3+1 basis. Each station is sized to lift half the volumes collected on the site up to a nearby retention and containment basin, meaning the 2 stations treat 100% of the rainwater.

SADE goes troglodyte
SADE goes troglodyte
Caen La Mer intermunicipal authority selected SADE (Rouen Regional Division) to manage a worksite to restructure the rainwater system crossing a giant abandoned underground quarry in Fleury-sur-Orne. A wastewater treatment worksite with multiple challenges. An environmental issue. The gutter-shaped stormwater main crossing the quarry overflows regularly, contaminating both the quarry floor and waters from the regionally-important Bathonian reservoir that rise up into the galleries. To resolve these issues, SADE was tasked with handling the gravity ducting (5mm/m) of this 150m segment. Since mid-June, the Giberville agency team has been setting up and slotting together the 64 concrete… +

SADE Special Works connects Brittany!
Intervention in the framework of a colossal project for GRT Gaz. Due for commissioning in 2021, the Landivisiau natural gas-fired combined cycle power station will strengthen the security of electricity supply in Brittany. At present, the region produces only 10% to 15% of the electricity it consumes and is therefore highly dependent on its neighbours. Discover the video of the Landivisiau site To enable its connection to the natural gas supply distribution network, GRT Gaz must lay 22km of 400mm-diameter gas pipeline across the Finistère region. The new network will cross some ten municipalities, starting… +
