[REPAIR FOR THE OLYMPIC GAMES] A remarkable achievement on the Pont de Sully in Paris, accomplished in record time!   📍 Paris, France   What have we achieved?   👉 Emergency repair and reinforcement of arches 10 and 11 on the central arch of the Pont de Sully, which were damaged when the bridge was struck by a barge on January 31st.   👉 Restoration of safe passage for cyclists and river traffic ahead of the Olympic and Paralympic Games.   🛠 The project, led by Freyssinet France and CHANTIERS MODERNES CONSTRUCTION, for Ville de Paris  involved securing the damaged arches with temporary metal beams, followed by the reconstruction using a specially designed concrete prosthesis.   👏 Well done for the exceptional coordination and dedication. The teams worked non-stop to complete the project within the tight deadline.   Together, we have achieved this incredible milestone with passion and determination! ✨ The amazing Olympics opening ceremony went smoothly as the delegations boats floated below, and the cycle race against the clock above the Pont de Sully took place as if nothing had ever happened to this heritage bridge!   #buildbettertogether #soletanchefreyssinet #olympicgames #repair

🌍 Here are some of the considerations we take into account at Freyssinet in order to integrate the environment from the beginning of a construction project 👇   👉 We choose materials based on their ecological impact  → In Laos, for Nam Theun 2 dam, Freyssinet teams collaborated to develop a very low-carbon dry shotcrete mix by using alternative binders that emit less CO2 and are sourced locally.   👉 We study the site of our project and its impact on biodiversity  → Freyssinet France installed bird-scaring systems to protect species nesting nearby a bridge during the bird breeding season.   👉 We plan for energy-efficient solutions  → The use of power packs and electric vans provides Freyssinet UK teams with the opportunity to reduce generator running times and fuel consumption.   👉 We develop a sustainable waste management plan  → During the replacement of prestressed cables on a bridge, Freyssinet España S.A.U. implemented the separation of used tendon elements to allow for the reuse of rubble on the site and facilitate the recycling of steel cables and sheathing. Congratulations on their work to build more sustainably! #sustainabletechnology #greenisgreat #construction

✨ Freyssinet took a prominent role at the WCEE2024, reinforcing our position as a leader in earthquake engineering!   👉 Our team engaged with renowned experts and participated in targeted conferences. They showcased our latest advancements in seismic protection, highlighting our commitment to innovation and safety.   🏢 The conference’s proximity to our unique test laboratory, the highest capacity in Europe, provided a perfect opportunity. So, we welcomed an international audience through several visits – our teams from Mexico amongst others! - demonstrating our expertise firsthand.   🙌 Together, we strive for a common goal: enhancing seismic safety. Proud to contributing to a safer future!   👀 Discover more about our seismic protection solutions: https://lnkd.in/ehY-KjKR   #careforall #EarthquakeEngineering #Innovation #WCEE

[PROJECT] 🙌 A first in stay-cable structure and a record for Freyssinet India on the Mumbai coastal road project!   📍 Mumbai, India    🚀 What have we achieved?   👉Design, supply, and installation of stay cable clevis anchorage hangers. 👉Installation of a massive girder weighing more than 30 Boeing jets, connecting the coastal road to the Worli Bandra Sea Link.   🌉 Drawing inspiration from the Sydney Harbour Bridge, this project presented challenging tasks that tested our skills and dedication.   For the first time in India, Freyssinet India has introduced the clevis anchor anchorage system in stay cable for superstructure installation.   Impact: sets new standards in construction technology and methodology.   👉 Record-breaking installation Achieved in 20 days: installed a 2,000 MT bowstring arch span at Worli Coastal Road. New record: successfully installed the second bowstring arch weighing 2,500 MT, the heaviest span on Coastal Road.   👉 Precision in severe conditions  Challenge: placement with only a 2.8m gap from the existing arch. Conditions: executed float-over operations in mid-May amid severe marine conditions.   Our team’s expertise and resilience ensured seamless execution. More updates coming soon! #sustainabletechnology #innovation #MCRP
