ETMF won the contract in consortium to develop Haliguen harbour in Quiberon.

Construction of 3 quayside surfaces (12,000 m² area) built with dredged materials protected by a double combi-wall.

Harbour activities continued uninterrupted during the works, which amount to 18.9 million euros.

Bordeaux stone bridge in the city centre is a masonry structure built in the early 19^th century. It is 486 m long and comprises 16 piers and two abutments. Each pier is based on 250 pine piles planted in the Garonne riverbed.

ETMF was chosen in consortium to carry out repair and reinforcement work on the bridge’s underwater banks. 

The first stage of the operations involved filling in the pits on the Garonne River bottom caused by strong currents and river traffic, using stone-filled nets installed by waterway. During the second stage, 140-tonne gabion walls (12 m x 12 m) were placed on the underwater banks to limit the effects of weathering over time.

Villeneuve-sur-Yonne dam reconstruction. We first demolished the former port and carried out engineering work. We then fixed check valves, jacks and footbridges, to enable dam refilling within the timeframe fixed by French navigation authority VNF (Voies Navigables de France) before the flood-risk period.

This "jetty" was designed as a series of pure curves for both aesthetic and technical reasons and blends naturally into the landscape. The bridge tops 134 steel poles drilled 35 metres deep, and is covered with precast concrete slabs and oak decking - a mixture which gives the structure its discretion and elegance.

Eiffage Génie Civil is taking part in the Al-Zour Refinery mega-project for Kuwait Petroleum Corporation’s subsidiary KIPIC (Kuwait Integrated Petroleum Industries Company). This project includes three major structures :

 - A 1,700 metre jetty for loading ships with sulphur granules produced in the refinery. The jetty will be extended by a wharf and is to carry a 3.6 km conveyor belt linking the refinery with the ship loading towers.

 - Sea Island, an offshore platform for loading ships with refined products, located 17 km from the coast and linked to the refinery by an underwater pipeline network. The north and south wharfs linked to the central platform will enable up to 4 ships to be loaded at the same time.

 - A service port reclaimed from the sea, comprising a covered area, a berthing facility for support craft, a fuel depot and other infrastructure needed for site operations.
