Eiffage Génie Civil
is the story of great builders
driven by the quest for excellence

Eiffage Génie Civil is launching the Demcy brand, which brings together all the Group's deconstruction and materials recovery activities: cleaning, asbestos removal, dismantling, demolition and recycling. This new brand brings together the expertise of three historic brands acquired by Eiffage Génie Civil over the years: Perez & Morelli, Boutté and Chastagner.

Our Infrastructure Branch launched the brand Eiffage Rail which confirmed its position as the leading benchmark partner for public and private operators in rail transport and industry.

Eiffage Génie Civil launched our Ævia brand. All structural equipment, maintenance repair and reinforcement works are now carried out under this brand name.
Our Ævia brand brings together teams from the entities :
- dedicated to BSI®, the ultra-high-performance fibred concrete developed by Eiffage.
- Via-Pontis and Résirep, in charge so far of these works in the northern and southern halves of France respectively. 
- Etic, our high-tech equipment design and installation specialist for engineering structures.
- TSV, the structural jacking and shifting specialist .

The acquisition of Saipem’s Maritime Works reinforced the Group in this field. The takeover of this entity - which has taken part in complex integrated  projects and has over 45 years of extensive international experience to its credit – illustrates the Group’s determination to position on this market.

In 2015, Eiffage Travaux Publics and Eiffage Métal came together to create Eiffage's new Infrastructure Branch.  
Our Eiffage Génie Civil, Eiffage Route and Eiffage Métal brands were established.

On 1 January 2006 Appia (roads and sanitation) and Eiffage TP (civil engineering) united to form Eiffage Travaux Publics.
This large-scale union of public works and road building activities within a major engineering group was a first for France.  The new deal enabled Eiffage Travaux Publics to focus on development in order to meet the needs of major projects more efficiently, with turnkey solutions integrating earthworks, civil engineering and roadworks.

Fougerolle, SAE and Quillery became Eiffage Construction and established a civil engineering department named Eiffage TP.
Millau Viaduct remains the most emblematic of the engineering projects handled by Eiffage TP.

Fougerolle and SAE merged to create Eiffage Group.

Loiret-based company Roland was building up a solid reputation in the public works sector from 1929 onwards.  

This large-scale earthworks specialist took part in many major regional and national infrastructure projects, and joined Eiffage Génie Civil in 2015.

• 1928 : Gaston Rocher sets up the company.
• 1946 : His sons Roger and Claude take over the SFTP (Société Forézienne de Travaux Publics)
• 1979 : The SFTP is acquired by the SAE and becomes the SFET (Société Forézienne d’Entreprises et de Terrassements).
• 1982 : The company becomes part of Borie-SAE.

André Borie was a leading French public works entrepreneur during the interwar period. Already President of the French Public Works Entrepreneurs Syndicate and Federation and manager of the Société des Entreprises de Travaux Publics André Borie, he was appointed Commissioner for Buildings and Public Works.

His company worked on reconstructing the Var bridges and Nice Airport, upgrading structures on the Nice-Coni line and more particularly, on building major hydro power structures (Saint Étienne Cantalès, Pont en Royans, Peyrat le Château and Randens) and the Dordogne bypass tunnel at Chastang Dam.

Borie was acquired by SAE and became Borie-SAE in 1980.

The SAEETP (Société Auxiliaire d'Entreprises Électriques et de Travaux Publics), better known as the SAE, was the result of a merger between power distribution companies SFMV (Société des Forces Motrices de la Vienne) and SFMVA (Société des Forces Motrices de la Vallée d’Aspe).

The expansion of the SAEETP was fuelled by the building of dams and hydro power plants during the quarter century between the company's creation and its reconversion to construction activities.
 

• 1960 : the SAEETP becomes SAE (Société Auxiliaire d’Entreprises).
• 1980 : SAE acquires Borie and becomes Borie-SAE.

Fougerolle's story began on 8 October 1844 when the Ponts et Chaussées engineer for the Nièvre region presented Philippe Fougerolle (1806-1883) with the royal seal on completion of the Nivernais canal.
