Innovation to support the environment<\/p>\n

<\/h2><\/div>

Our innovation capabilities allow us to reduce our operations\u2019 CO2 emissions by acting on several levels:<\/p>\n

\n<\/div>

<\/i><\/div>

Equipment
\n<\/b>We are working on electrification of our machines, with the introduction of the Hydrofraise\u00ae with an electric power pack on many worksites. We also use battery packs to smooth power peaks required for our drilling fluid production plants. Finally, we use optimised engines, latest-generation fuels and operator assistance systems to consume less energy.<\/p>\n

Materials
\n<\/strong>In addition to our EXEGY by Soletanche Bachy<\/a> range, we call on our laboratory to develop innovative low-carbon materials, such as cement-free concrete made from activated slag.<\/p>\n

\n<\/div>

<\/div><\/div><\/div>
<\/i><\/div>

Processes
\n<\/strong>We have notably developed the recycling of jet grouting<\/a> spoil, as well as the system of threaded piles, which halves the amount of concrete used and does not produce any spoil, eliminating truck traffic to remove it to landfill.<\/p>\n
