Description

In Villejuif, in the Val-de-Marne region of France, the CAP consortium (Vinci Construction-Spie Batignolles) is building a service structure for line 15 of the southern metro. The earthworkers, who excavated the earth for this 50 m deep shaft, benefited from the installation of an elevator that was extended as the digging progressed. 

À Villejuif, dans le Val-de-Marne, le groupement CAP (Vinci Construction-Spie Batignolles) bâtit un ouvrage de service de la ligne 15 sud du métro. Les terrassiers, qui ont excavé la terre de ce puits de 50 m de profondeur, ont bénéficié de l’installation d’un ascenseur qui a été prolongé au fur et à mesure du creusement.
