Eiffage Génie Civil has dug the first kilometre of the VL8 lot 2 tunnel

5,028 segments making up the first 838 rings have been laid!

The integration of river transport, to evacuate the 23,000 tonnes of excavated material, required the use of 37 barges to the transit platform at Bonneuil-sur-Marne (94), and removed the equivalent of 1,000 lorries from the roads. This solution makes it possible to transport more volume while limiting nuisance for local residents and CO₂ emissions.

Congratulations to our teams, who are working 24/7 on this major project!

The VL8 collector will be used to reinforce the SIAAP sewerage network by preventing untreated water from being discharged into the natural environment and will safeguard the bacteriological quality of the Seine with a view to swimming during the Paris Games.
