Project management services for the second tram line for Montpellier

The SEMALY - BCEOM - BETEREM - GARCIA DIAZ consortium has been selected to provide project management services for the second tram line for Montpellier. This second line is 18 km long and runs from east to west. It intersects with the first line at two points to provide connections and allows exchanges in all directions.

Calais cross-channel ferry terminal - Improving berth 9

Cross-channel traffic in the port of Calais is considerably increasing, which means adapting ships in consequence. The ferry companies, Seafrance and P&O are renewing their fleet and using larger ships which thus reduce embarkation and disembarkation times. Calais Chamber of Commerce, which is the port operation concessionaire, is developing new fixed equipment to cope with the new traffic.

A project management assignment was awarded to the Scetauroute–BCEOM–Eurodim consortium. It concerned the following structures:
- Berth P9 to be built, to allow RODIN-type ships to be accommodated (L= 186 m, width = 27.7 m, draught 6.7 m, capacity: 800 light vehicles or 2000 m of RoRo traffic),
- Straightening the alignment of the north embankment to enable ships to reach the new berth,
- Reorganising land traffic movements,
- Equipping the new berth with a double vehicle ramp and a pedestrian ramp.

The structures to be designed are more complex due to the constraint of having to carry out the works without interrupting traffic in adjacent berths. The retaining wall of Berth 9 is a vertical sheet with a vertical clearance of 19m, to be built behind an existing sheet. The slip dock structures designed to carry the ships supports during loading and unloading operations must be able to cope with a high water line variation of 9 m.
The north embankment must be straightened without affecting the operation of the adjacent sugar berth and RoRo berth.
Furthermore, the cross-Channel ferry terminal is an enclosed area, subject to considerable safety constraints to keep illegal immigration to Great Britain under control. These constraints affect the techniques used and the way the works are performed.

The assignment awarded to the consortium involves the full range of project management tasks (preliminary and final designs, procurement assistance and bid analysis, checking and approving drawings, construction supervision and taking-over certification operations).

Cruise ship quay extension in Tahiti (Papeete)

Full project management contract won after a competitive tender.
The project aimed to provide access and mooring space for four liners of between 200 and 300 m in length and reorganise the ferry area. This project has a large urban development component. Cost of works is €25 million.

Project Management for the Urban District of Rodez

The Urban District of Rodez entrusted BCEOM with the full project management for the construction of a water treatment plant in Rodez (Aveyron) involving designs and construction supervision, monitoring and coordination, impact studies, preliminary designs and tender documents.
The project consisted of an activated sludge process with prolonged aeration. The plant's nominal rate/flow is 2100 m3/hour. The aeration basin will have a capacity of 30,000 m3 and be 10 m deep. Sludge will be treated by dehydration on press filters.

Project Management for laying piping and other drinking water supply structures in Mantes (Yvelines)

Full project management assignment awarded by the District Community Authority (preliminary designs, designs, procurement assistance, design checking, construction supervision, acceptance operations, alone or in a group with Beture Infra (with BCEOM as leader).
Following the 1992 Drinking Water Master Plan, also carried out by BCEOM, several developments to the District Community Authority's Drinking Water Supply were recommended for which BCEOM was project manager.
