Port-La-Nouvelle expansion, France
Name of the Project
Port-La-Nouvelle expansion.

The port extension will serve the dual purpose of developing existing traffic and accommodating new projects, particular in connection with new energies. For example, it will make the construction and assembly of pilot floating wind farms, planned off the coast of Occitanie, possible.
Potential Job Creation
Not stated.
Capital Expenditure
The project is estimated at €237-million.
Planned Start/End Date
Construction is under way and should be completed by mid-2023.
Latest Developments
A consortium comprising Bouygues Travaux Publics and Boskalis Nederland has been awarded a contract for the expansion project.
The consortium, lead by Bouygues Travaux Publics, will be responsible for Package 1, consisting of the creation of a harbour by extending the current southern seawall (600 m long), constructing a northern seawall (2 430 m long) and demolishing an existing seawall. All the seawalls will be reinforced by an upper layer of Accropodes of between 18 t and 45 t, premanufactured on site. These very highly resistant concrete blocks are designed to resist the action of waves on the seawalls.
