Case study - Dyke reinforcement in St Laurent du Var (France)

This episode presents a project in France, for a significant flood prevention action program, focusing on the reinforcement of the dyke at Saint-Laurent-du-Var. This project aimed to protect nearly 2,000 inhabitants and critical infrastructure against floods up to a reference level of 5,000 m3/s. The reinforcement spans 1.6 kilometers along road number 95 and involves constructing a double sheet pile wall system using over 2,300 tonnes of specialized steel piles, like the AZ 23-800 and AZ 18-800 profiles. Learn about the technical specifications of the construction, including the driving methods for the steel sheet piles, the use of eccentric anchors, and the project timeline, with work occurring between 2016 and 2017. The episode also highlights cost savings achieved by substituting lighter, equivalent steel profiles after successful driving tests.
