[Building for life] Building to connect. 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 Eole, a project to extend line E of the RER regional express network to the west of the Greater Paris region, on which our teams have been involved since 2017 and which has just been delivered. As leader of a consortium with Razel-Bec Fayat, Eiffage and Sefi-Intrafor, Bouygues Travaux Publics was responsible for the GC-TUN batch of the project, comprising:    ➡️ A 6.1-km section of tunnel between Courbevoie and Haussmann Saint-Lazare ➡️ Neuilly-Porte Maillot station ➡️ three ancillary structures This unique construction project involved a number of challenges, as digging a 6-km tunnel and building a station in the heart of central Paris, in a highly constrained urban environment and particularly dense underground setting, between the foundations of sensitive buildings and existing transport networks. The station was inaugurated in May 2024, marking the end of what is already seen as an iconic project and the final chapter of a great human adventure for the teams involved.     Once it is opened to traffic, the new RER E line will be the most interconnected in the entire Greater Paris network. Neuilly-Porte Maillot station will handle more than 30,000 passengers every day, becoming a major intermodal hub in central Paris.   Bouygues Travaux Publics is extremely proud to have taken part in this project to support efficient, low-carbon mobility.     #BuildingForLife #BâtirPourLaVie #mobility #tunnels #undergroundstructures   © Direction du projet EOLE - SNCR Réseau / DR / Yves Chanoit

Several times recently I have seen people quote Ursula Von Der Leyen saying 'if the Green Deal has a soul, it's the New European Bauhaus' It's a lovely soundbite... but what does it mean? What does the NEB look like in practice? This series of New Bauhaus Stories from our partners in the Nebula B4P project is putting flesh on the bones of the NEB... our you could say it's giving body to the soul! Check out this episode on #regeneration and learn about two inspiring projects that embody the NEB soul.

BOUYGUES UK 📣 “We are delving into the history of the site at Pentre Awel... Pentre Awel is a ‘once in a generation’ development located across 83 acres of land in south Llanelli. It is the first development of its scale and scope in Wales, creating a unique ecosystem that co-locates business, research, academia, health, leisure and assisted living within landmark infrastructure. As Zone One reaches completion, we are reflecting on the incredible heritage of this site. Did you know Llanelli was once known as 'Tinopolis'? In the 19th century, over 80% of the world's tinplate was produced here! The area buzzed with the activity of brickworks, tinplate, and steel production. The Pentre Awel site itself is steeped in rich history. In 1861, it was home to a brickworks company established by William Thomas, leveraging the area's abundant clay deposits. Later, the South Wales Tinplate Works dominated the landscape, contributing significantly to the region's industrial boom. By the late 20th century, the site had evolved yet again, leading to its current transformation. With a nod to this rich past, Pentre Awel is designed to co-locate business, research, academia, health, leisure, and assisted living in a single ecosystem.

Breaking news: the Advanced Manufacturing Research Facility (AMRF) First Building was named the Most Outstanding Innovation Project by the Western Sydney Leadership Dialogue last night, setting the stage for a story that will reshape Australia's urban future. The first building for the new city of Bradfield in Western Sydney — Australia's first new city in 100 years — the AMRF houses a cutting-edge shared services platform designed to drive innovation in the manufacturing sector. This facility represents a pivotal step in the NSW Government's economic strategy, positioning Bradfield as a hub of advanced industry and opportunity. Congratulations to our client, Bradfield Development Authority, project partners Northrop Consulting Engineers and Taylor | Australia, and our talented design team. The development of Bradfield City Centre, alongside the Western Sydney Aerotropolis region and Western Sydney International Airport, is set to redefine the region. We eagerly anticipate officially unveiling the building early next year and showcasing the opportunities this transformative project will unlock. Thank you to Dialogue Chair Christopher Brown AM, CEO Adam Leto and the award judges for recognising this landmark project. Here's to the future of Bradfield City Centre — Australia's new frontier of innovation.

We're looking forward to Urbanism Next's 2024 Europe Conference, where we'll be joining Hector Gutierrez (Los Angeles Metro), Lilly Shoup (Rebel), and Shirin Sadrpour (LADOT) for a panel discussion around 'Advancing New Mobility Options through Universal Basic Mobility: Lessons learned from Implementation of Mobility Wallets, Open Loop Technology, and Electrified Transportation Options to Catalyze Equity and Dignity.' "Universal Basic Mobility has emerged as an ecosystem approach to bring economic, health, and social benefits to transit-dependent communities. At its core, it is an effective strategy to promote equity and address the immobility of people. This session will share lessons learned from Americas largest UBM pilot including Phase I findings from the Mobility Wallets to deliver seamless interoperability between shared transportation options through one payment source. The session will also examine UBM strategies offering diverse transit choices for low-income customers and discuss future considerations for open-loop and account-based technology, enhancing system-wide interoperability across transit." If you're looking to join us, registration is open! The early bird deadline is September 1st. Register here: https://lnkd.in/gEzH-wSa

I'll be visiting Montreal soon and am looking forward to exploring this incredible revitalization project with my colleague Marc-Olivier Houde. Having been involved in several large scale recladding, reglazing, and revitalization projects, I'm always interested in discussing how each project addresses the multitude of challenges of working on existing buildings. We focus intently on on the technical details to optimize facade performance, daylighting, thermal comfort, condensation resistance, air tightness, water leakage resistance, constructability, durability, and maintainability. But it's equally important to understand the logistics of delivering such solutions. Site access, mobilization, facade access, safety (worker, public, and building occupant), sequencing, etc are all critical to project success. #recladding #facade #retrofit #renewal #reglazing #retrofitimperative #architecture #buildings #construction #architectural #buildingscience #innovation #rehabilitation #

Atelier Ten is proud to be the stream sponsor of the Retrofit Agenda Stage at FOOTPRINT+ 2024! 🌿 Really looking forward to be taken on a journey of thought-provoking discussions on how to unlock the full potential of #retrofit by our excellent panellists and moderators. How to make retrofit a main #businessmodel? What can we learn from the local law 97 in NYC? How to preserve campus identity while enhancing the character of #HigherEducation estates? What role does retrofit play in the future of #planningpolicy? How to balance the drive for #NetZero performance and #wellness requirements in #LifeSciences buildings whilst meeting the rapidly increasing demand? What are the key considerations when weaving a sensitive retrofit tapestry for #culturalinstitutions?   Come join us exploring and be part of this conversation - hope to see you there! #FP24
