To reduce its carbon footprint, CAPREMIB delivers its deck slabs by barge
Committed to reducing its environmental footprint, CAPREMIB, a specialist in custom concrete prefabrication for the construction and civil engineering markets, is launching its first delivery of prefabricated concrete bridge slabs by waterway, from its Cormicy plant to the Canal Seine-Nord Europe construction site. This operation, carried out in collaboration with VNF / Voies Navigables de France, helps reduce the construction site's carbon footprint, a goal also set by the Société du Canal Seine-Nord Europe (SCSNE).
Seine-Nord Europe Canal construction site
In 2023, CAPREMIB was selected by the Nord Confluence group and more specifically by Demathieu Bard Infrastructure Génie Civil and ETPO to carry out the custom prefabrication of concrete decks for the road bridges of the Seine-Nord Europe Canal.
This major regional development project, combining technical performance, respect for the environment, and safety, will connect Compiègne in the Oise region to Aubencheul-au-Bac in the North by 2030. This large-gauge canal, 107 km long and 54 meters wide, is a key link in the Seine-Escaut river link, which will connect the French network to Europe's 20.000 km of waterways. A technological challenge, it will benefit from state-of-the-art equipment, particularly to enable its crossing. To date, CAPREMIB has already delivered the elements constituting the Oise road engineering structures and the "RD 66 CSNE" viaduct.
To reduce its environmental footprint, CAPREMIB, whose production unit in Cormicy (51) is located on the banks of the Vesle, will ship by barge 50 new bridge slabs measuring 13,20 m long by 1,95 m wide and weighing 20T each. 31 of them are intended for the RD40 bis bridge located in Pimprez and 19 will make up the one on the Oise Lateral Canal (CLO), between Montmacq and Cambronne-lès-Ribécourt.
