Degremont Group Secures French Wastewater Contract

A Degremont-led group, which includes VINCI Construction, SAFEGE and Architectes Associes pour l’Environnement, has won a €230m ($310m) contract to renovate the Seine Aval wastewater treatment plant in Yvelines, France.

The contract involves rebuilding the pre-treatment system including screening units, sand and grease treatment, while guaranteeing continuity of service for three and a half years.

The project will also optimise the hydraulic flow of incoming wastewater ranging from 5m³ per second to 70m³ per second.

The renovation will reduce the plant’s environmental footprint by recovering energy from the wastewater of the sanitation networks, reducing consumption of chemical reagents and reusing rain water to produce industrial water.

Degremont’s share in the project is worth €110m ($148m), according to filtsep.com.
