Civil Engineering

The Baudin Chateauneuf Department of Civil Engineering was founded at the beginning of the 1960s.
Originally oriented towards the construction of conventional civil works projects in reinforced or pre-stressed concrete, in 1985, the Civil Engineering Department become increasingly involved with the Steel Bridges Department in civil engineering for combined bridges, while retaining the capacity and know-how necessary for the construction of current structures.






It has become more involved in the construction of sensitive structures, particularly on rivers and other waterways with the construction of cofferdams in sheetpiling, concrete pouring platforms, special foundations such as the bridges on the Saône at Jassans Riottier and on the Dordogne at Ste Foy la Grande, the viaducts of the ARC and the Aigues for the Mediterranean TGV and the viaducts on the Sèvre Niortaise and on the Sèvre Nantaise for ASF.
Another activity developed by the Department of Civil Engineering concerns lifting and moving techniques for large indivisible structures such as the replacement of the support apparatus for the Cheviré bridge at Nantes (11 jackings of 5000 tons).
