Alsace canal: a hydroelectrical plant on the Gerstheim falls for EDF (3/12/1954)

As of 1945, Deschiron took part in the construction of major hydraulic and thermal plants ordered by EDF. In the early 1950s, it played a major role in building a hydroelectric power plant at Gerstheim falls in the Bas-Rhin region. The project included the construction of a dock wall and of a factory that was later used by Rhône Poulenc.
