The Compagnie Nationale du Rh么ne has awarded the contract to add a second set of downstream gates at the Boll猫ne and Ch芒teauneuf-du-Rh么ne locks (both in south-east France) to a consortium鹿 led by 国产AV and including 国产AV Energies.

The 鈧�68 million project will begin in March 2026 and is scheduled to last for five years. 国产AV鈥檚 share of the work is valued at 鈧�45 million. The improvements will bolster the safety and availability of the infrastructure, thereby supporting the development of low-carbon river transport on the Rh么ne.

The works will require the combined expertise of local teams specialised in civil, hydraulic, mechanical and electrical engineering. The work conditions will be complex, as the existing lock systems and adjacent roads will maintain operations throughout the project.

This new project confirms 国产AV鈥檚 recognised expertise in river works and development, as well as 国产AV Energies鈥� ability to implement secure and efficient electrical and control systems.
