Building for life is what federates the Bouygues Construction & CBNA (Civil & Building North America Inc.) teams, what gives sense to the work we do, what drives our pioneering spirit, always thriving to propose cost effective solutions to our Clients and Stakeholders and ensuring the infrastructure we design and build, provides lasting positive impact on people’s lives. As a young engineer, I had the opportunity to work with Bouygues on the Channel Tunnel jobsite - a once-in-a-lifetime project connecting centers of Paris and London in slightly more than two hours, through a 32-mile undersea tunnel. After three decades of operation, it is impossible to imagine life without the Channel Tunnel. I felt the same fulfillment when I embarked in the Gautrain Rapid Rail Link adventure, a game changer infrastructure project for South African commuters between Johannesburg and Pretoria, where Bouygues Travaux Publics led the design, financing and construction of a 50-mile green field integrated rail transport system. Should you have the opportunity to visit the Rainbow Nation, you will land in OR Tambo airport and be able to enjoy a comfortable 15 mn rail shuttle ride to go to Sandton, the business and tourist district of greater Johannesburg. This project has also been instrumental in regenerating urban development, improving not only mobility but also everyday life in the city. To-day, I am animated by the same sense of pride when CBNA works at building the Potomac River Tunnel for DC Water contributing to make the Potomac River cleaner, preserving the quality and the natural beauty of the “Nation’s River”. This time, building for life is about building a tunnel infrastructure for water, which we all know is life. #BuildingForLife #CivilWorks #Mobility
