The construction of sector 1 of the Canal is shared between the different companies of the Team'O+ group. At Tractebel, we take care of the Montmacq reach – the section of the Canal between Cambronne-lès-Ribécourt and Passel – for which we are responsible in particular for the earthworks, geotechnics and sanitation aspects. On this reach built essentially by widening the side canal to the Oise, we have a large
work on maintaining the watertightness of the pre-existing structure.
For this year, I have a double role, study and fieldwork, which is rare and very interesting. I am carrying out both the continuation of the design studies for the Montmacq reach and the management of the construction of the Ribécourt-Dreslincourt and Pimprez quays on the Oise side canal, which will be delivered at the beginning of 2023. As such, I relies on a team of four people: a works supervisor, a geotechnical engineer and two specialized engineers who are in the field full time.
“Several projects in one, so many technical challenges to overcome.”
I have daily discussions with my team's works supervisor, and I go there every week for a site meeting with the group of companies that manages the construction of the two quays. We start with a complete visit to the construction sites and continue our discussions in the room to determine the follow-up to be given for the smooth running of the work.
First of all, its purpose: to reduce road transport in favor of river transport, I like the idea! And then, it's a structuring project for my region, with a very environmental dimension, in the heart of a nature that I appreciate and travel on a personal basis.
Beyond the Canal itself, the project provides for landscaping, landscaping and ecological development. I look forward to being able to enjoy it myself in a few years, with the gratification of having contributed to it!
