2003
Loir et Cher, France
This wastewater treatment plant, built in 2003, was located in Souesmes 41300 Loir et Cher (France). Its structure needed to be reinforced.
The commune of Souesmes, located in the heart of France south of Orléans, is a commune of just over 1,100 inhabitants. Its territory is made up of approximately 86% woods and forests, it is a “rural” commune.
Project Requirements
The structure of the Souesmes wastewater treatment plant built at the beginning of the 2000s quickly revealed cracks, causing leaks through the walls of some of its tanks. Since the purpose of this facility is to treat the commune’s wastewater, this situation was not allowed to continue.
After analyzing the causes of these cracks, a call for tenders was launched, and then the operation to reinforce the incriminated structure was initiated. The company SEGEC based in La Chatre (Indre, France), founded in 1936, won the contract for the rehabilitation of this sensitive structure.
The expectations of the operator of this waste water treatment plant were very simple: No interruption of the daily operation and treatment of the water before it was released into nature during the period of repair and reinforcement works. Only Parex’s FRCM system, according to the technical advice, was able to fulfil this requirement.
