Eiffage Énergie Systèmes reinforces Chartres Urban Area’s drinking water network in the Cathedral Square
As part of reinforcement work on Chartres Urban Area’s drinking water network, the water cycle department awarded the earthworks and pipe replacement contract to Eiffage Énergie Systèmes. Our experts worked on the forecourt of Chartres Cathedral, a historic monument dating back to the 13th century.
The multi-year contract (2021-2024) between Eiffage Énergie Systèmes and Chartres Métropole covers the renewal of drinking water pipes in the urban area’s 66 municipalities.
In Chartres, our employees dug trenches in the cathedral forecourt to install new cast-iron pipes (100 linear metres, diameter 100 and 250 linear metres, diameter 200). This preliminary work was carried out prior to the future development of the square.
“The site is located at the foot of a famous historic monument, enabling Chartres Urban Area archaeologists to carry out preventive research with the aim of enhancing our knowledge of the city’s history. They unearthed fragments of ancient ceramics, as well as burials of considerable historical and heritage interest", said business manager Charles Alagille.
Our specialists’ remit included connecting the water networks and taking over lead connections on behalf of C'Chartres Eau, in charge of producing and distributing drinking water in Chartres Urban Area. They also installed a high-voltage cable enabling ENEDIS to complete the loop between two transformer stations.
