      Tunnel boring machine breakthrough: Cadereaux de Nîmes

      On September 15, the tunnel boring machine Claude Jordane completed the excavation of the second cadereau on the Cadereaux de Nîmes construction site.
      Carried out for Nîmes Métropole by a 100% Fayat consortium, the project aims to protect the city from flooding through two stormwater evacuation tunnels. In the presence of numerous elected officials, this milestone marks a major step forward. Once completed, the cadereaux will allow rainwater to be evacuated ten times faster.
