[Building for life] Building to preserve water ??. Take a look at some of our emblematic references, which illustrate the values of our new "Building for life" brand signature. ? This week, let's (re)discover the Pawtucket tunnel, in the State of??Rhode Island (USA). ? Since 2022, Bouygues Travaux Publics teams have been working as part of the CB3A consortium on the construction of a 3.5-km tunnel with an internal diameter of 9 metres. Its purpose: to collect and store the region’s stormwater, waste water and industrial water before sending it to the treatment plant.? ? In order to carry out this project, a TBM named Chloé was specially designed to cope with the varied geology of the route. ? Why such a project? The Providence region has long been plagued by water pollution problems. In 2001, the Narragansett Bay Commission launched a vast programme aimed at improving water quality. ? The Pawtucket Tunnel, the final phase of this project, will enable 98% of sewer overflow water to be treated. It will have the capacity to collect and store the equivalent of 92 Olympic-sized swimming pools. ? With this project, Bouygues Construction has deployed all its expertise, confirming its commitment to major projects that help improve water management in America and, more generally, preserve natural resources. ? #BuildingForLife #Resourcesmanagement #tunnel CBNA (Civil & Building North America Inc.)
