This contract, worth around €80 million (US$79 million), includes the construction of diaphragm walls and bored piles. The works, which must be completed by 2024, will take place in a very constrained environment in the immediate vicinity of an underground urban highway and the metro.

Part of the wall will be built in a height limited location using two compact Hydrofraises, one of which will be equipped with grippers to facilitate drilling in very hard ground. This equipment is designed and manufactured specifically by Soletanche Bachy.
