An environmentally-responsible project for the Dunkirk Urban Authority. In recent years, since the enactment of the GEMAPI law (for the management of marine areas and flood prevention), the Dunkirk Urban Authority (CUD) has given priority to a global survey of its facilities located alongside coastlines and aquatic environments.

The most frequently observed… +

The operation for SETHA teams consisted in: Core boring for a 6m-deep access pit in order to extract the buried technical facility, The digging of a trench,  The laying… +

In Lyon, Gantelet-Galaberthier has dug a tunnel 5 metres under the water table and 8 metres under natural ground level, using a standard sheltered technique with jet grouting in the soil mass.

This is the first time a gallery has been dug using traditional methods in the alluvium of the Saône river. To achieve this, a technique had to be devised in order to create a waterproof underground mass, from surface level, around the future location of the gallery, enabling miners… +
