News | Project | Testimonies
Listen to the latest episode of the Saga of Great Challenges, in which Yann Amicel, Director of Risk and Sensitive Affairs at Soletanche Bachy, takes us behind the scenes of the restoration project for one of Paris’s most iconic monuments: the Grand Palais. Following the discovery of significant subsidence in the basement in 2001, Soletanche Bachy stepped in to underpin the entire foundation of the building.
Ingenious, the Soletanche Freyssinet podcast, gives a voice to those who imagine, design, and carry out exceptional technical projects around the world. Construction site stories, innovations, professional expertise… With this podcast, we offer you a glimpse into the human and technological challenges faced by the six Soletanche Freyssinet companies: Soletanche Bachy, Freyssinet, Menard, Geoquest, Nuvia, and Sixense.
This episode is part of the series “The Saga of Great Challenges.” At the heart of major projects, there are always challenges to be overcome, but above all, there are the men and women who face them. The Saga of Great Challenges recounts the technical and human adventures that shape our world.
Thank you to Yann Amicel, Director of Risk and Sensitive Affairs at Soletanche Bachy, for his testimony on the behind-the-scenes work involved in the restoration of one of Paris’s iconic buildings.
