[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.)
