France
Field of study: Electrical Engineering
Image
Issues
- Renovate a key infrastructure project built in the 1930s
- Increase transmission capacity and enable the development and integration of renewable energy sources
Benefits
- Ensuring the long-term durability of the structure
- Achieving the optimal technical and economic balance in a large-scale project
- Streamlining administrative permit applications (APO, DUP, etc.)
Solutions
- Conduct a turnkey study: topographic survey, geotechnical study, engineering
- Inspect steel structures using drones
- Develop 3D tower families (CAD)
- Ensure compliance with technical and administrative standards related to the power line’s route
Commitments
- Install new transmission towers in accordance with local environmental constraints, with the support of an ecologist
- Identify implementation constraints as early as the design phase and propose appropriate solutions
