Our environmental <\/span>principles<\/h2><\/div>
<\/div>\n

As an innovator in underground construction, BESSAC has made building <\/span>with a conscience front<\/b> and centre in conception and execution of all projects.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>

Our environmental strategy<\/h2><\/div>

\u00a0<\/p>\n

This environmental strategy highlights:<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>

– Energy efficiency<\/b> and reducing carbon footprint in all activities (Scope 1, 2 & 3).<\/p>\n

– Responsible management of excavated material,<\/b> water resources and pollution.<\/p>\n

– Integration of climate issues <\/b>starting from machine design and carried through to project implementation.<\/p>\n

– Ongoing dialogue with all stakeholders,<\/b> to achieve shared environmental goals.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

<\/span><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Our objectives<\/h2><\/div>

In demonstrating our commitment to these goals, we have the following environmental objectives for 2030 :<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

<\/span><\/div>
Reduction in GES emissions <\/span><\/p>\n

on scopes 1 and 2<\/span><\/p><\/h5><\/div><\/div><\/div>

<\/span><\/div>
on scope 3<\/h5><\/div><\/div><\/div>
<\/span><\/div>
of all concrete used in our projects will be low-carbon concrete<\/h5><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

These objectives guide us in terms of technical, industrial and logistical choices.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

<\/span><\/div><\/div><\/div>
<\/div>

For BESSAC, environment is at the heart of everything we do: from conception through to execution, technical innovation and competence of our team, we are determined that the infrastructure of tomorrow must meet the technical and ecological requirements of today.<\/span><\/p>\n

For BESSAC, building underground means contributing to a future that\u2019s more resilient, more conscientious and fully respectful of nature.<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

Thanks to an industrial model based largely on reuse of our TBMs and MicroTBMs, with each being reconditioned according to the needs of future projects, BESSAC offers a wide range of diameters without resorting to new equipment. Refitting and reusing our machines helps improve our environmental sustainability..<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Existing achievements<\/span><\/div><\/h2><\/div>

BESSAC\u2019s existing achievements in using low-carbon illustrate our commitment in this domain.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

The \u201cCroult\u201d microtunnel: DN1600<\/b><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

With a 920m length, constructed using an ultra-low-carbon EXEGY concrete by BESSAC (117kg CO2 eq\/m3) for SIAH in the Paris Region: a concrete that had 3-4 times fewer emissions than regular concrete.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>
