Since the start of 2020, the works teams have been involved in the construction of berths 11 & 12 for phase III of Port 2000 for the Grand Port Maritime du Havre. Numerous initiatives to reduce the environmental impact of the works have been undertaken as part of this large-scale project.
This approach began with alternative solutions proposed at the study phase:
….
The collaboration between the sales teams, the materials laboratory and the works teams made it possible to adopt low-carbon approaches for the concrete used.
In fact, the concrete used for phase II of Port 2000, completed from 2007 to 2010, were already very low carbon (163kg CO2 eq/m3).
This trial will enable us to complete our reference catalogue for low-carbon and ultra-low-carbon concrete.

Lastly, the works teams, meanwhile, have put in place the measures necessary for sustainable management of drilling mud, with the used diaphragm wall mud being returned to the grout production plant, thereby avoiding the elimination of 12,000m3 of mud and 600 truck rotations.
