Austerlitz tank: work continues<\/h1><\/div>
<\/div>

The city of Paris is implementing a series of measures to reduce the discharge of water from the sanitation network into the Seine during heavy rain. One of the benefits of this would be allowing the Seine to be used for open-water swimming events at the 2024 Paris Olympics!<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>

The City of Paris sanitation division has appointed the Impluvium consortium (comprising Soletanche Bachy France<\/a> and\u00a0Bessac<\/a>) to build a tank to store and return water (the Austerlitz tank),<\/strong> two structures to recover water from stormwater drains on either side of the Seine<\/strong> (the Valhubert and Tournaire shafts), as well as a 610m-long collector to link the various structures.<\/p>\n

This work is being monitored by the Artelia\/Prolog project management consortium. It began in August 2020 and is set to take 44 months, with one clear objective \u2013 to finish before May 2024!<\/p>\n<\/div>

Austerlitz tank<\/h2><\/div>

Work began in mid-February on the diaphragm wall forming the tank\u2019s circular shell. The schedule includes 23 panels, 61.5m deep and 1.2m thick.<\/p>\n

This first phase will be followed by work on the attack shaft (the entry shaft for a microtunnel boring machine with a 3m digging diameter) and the barrettes inside the structure.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>
