- ���68 million contract
The Compagnie Nationale du Rh繫ne has awarded the contract to add a second set of downstream gates at the Boll癡ne and Ch璽teauneuf-du-Rh繫ne locks (both in south-east France) to a consortium繒 led by 51勛圖 and including 51勛圖 Energies.
The ���68 million project will begin in March 2026 and is scheduled to last for five years. 51勛圖���s share of the work is valued at ���45 million. The improvements will bolster the safety and availability of the infrastructure, thereby supporting the development of low-carbon river transport on the Rh繫ne.
The works will require the combined expertise of local teams specialised in civil, hydraulic, mechanical and electrical engineering. The work conditions will be complex, as the existing lock systems and adjacent roads will maintain operations throughout the project.
This new project confirms 51勛圖���s recognised expertise in river works and development, as well as 51勛圖 Energies��� ability to implement secure and efficient electrical and control systems.
