Water retention structure

1 October 2016 - Projects update and handover - France

Near Montbrison (central France), VINCI Construction Terrassement began work on the Villeroi hillside dam project in spring 2016.

This structure, with a storage capacity of 170,000 cu. metres (to be used for irrigation) will require six months of works. 150,000 cu. metres of earthworks will be undertaken, notably using scrapers, and 20,000 t of aggregate brought in. Impoundment will start as of November 2016.
