Grand Tortue/Ahmeyim gas terminal : at the heart of a remarkable project

In February 2019, consortium leader Eiffage Génie Civil Marine signed an Engineering, Procurement, Construction and Installation contract with BP for the Grand Tortue/Ahmeyim gas terminal’s marine infrastructure on the maritime borders of Mauritania and Senegal. This major project involves building offshore marine infrastructure protected by a breakwater dyke, to house a floating natural gas liquefaction plant and enable LNG tankers to berth. The 1.2 km-long breakwater dyke comprises 21 concrete caissons each weighing 16,500 tonnes and manufactured by Eiffage in Dakar (Senegal). It is currently under construction and will be installed at -33 m 10 km off the coast. At the same time, the 2.5 million tonnes of quarry materials required for the underwater dyke foundations supporting the concrete caissons are being produced by Eiffage in Mauritania in a quarry opened specifically for the project.

The Eiffage team took charge of 18 caissons, each weighing 10,000 tons, in Marseilles, towed them to Monaco and placed them by ballasting on underwater foundations previously prepared by the company, all within a delicate environmental framework that preserves the Principality's marine biodiversity.
