CAPAG CETRA, founded in 1938 by Louis Ducatel under the name Entreprise Moderne de Canalisation, is a prime example of successful diversification from pipe systems to large infrastructure. After World War II, the company won major pipe installation contracts in the Paris area and the north of France. In 1953, it was in charge of building the Paris-Le Havre pipeline, a vital structure for the development of the Paris area. CAPAG CETRA also specialised in laying pipes under rivers in France and in Algeria. In the 1960s, it started developing a construction and civil engineering division to handle contracts for the Montereau and Porcheville power plants. In 1975, following the retirement of founder Louis Ducatel, CAPAG CETRA merged with Campenon Bernard.
