Press release
Eiffage, in a consortium, wins the contract for the final phase of
reconstruction works at the Baumettes prison facility in Marseille for a value
of just over EUR90 million
Eiffage, through its subsidiaries Eiffage Construction (consortium leader) and
Eiffage Énergie Systèmes, recently won, in a consortium, the contract for the
third and final phase of the reconstruction project at the Baumettes prison
facility in Marseille for a value of just over EUR90 million.
Eiffage's share of the contract amounts to EUR87 million. The consortium
includes the architects Groupe 6 and WTF/A, environmental consultants
Inddigo, and design engineers WSP and CS Ingénierie.
Initiated by the APIJ (Agence publique pour l'immobilier de la Justice) on
behalf of the French Ministry of Justice, this contract includes the demolition
of the men's prison, plus the design, construction and fitting of a new 30,000
square-metre prison facility on the same site.
With a capacity of just over 700, this new prison facility will include five
accommodation blocks and a disciplinary block, with a particular focus on
comfort during summer, consolidated administration areas, a theatre, four
sports pitches and multi-storey car park. The layout of the buildings has been
designed to minimise its impact on the surrounding environment.
This project involves multiple areas of the Group's expertise. Eiffage
Construction will be responsible for construction using BIM. Eiffage Énergie
Systèmes is responsible for safety and security, high- and low-voltage
electrical systems, and HVAC/plumbing. Eiffage Génie Civil will demolish the
existing buildings, with most of the recovered material being reused on site to
reduce the impact on local residents.
The 31-month works phase will begin following a one-year design and demolition
phase, with delivery scheduled for the second half of 2024. This will conclude
the prison reconstruction project that began in 2013 with preparatory works,
also carried out by Eiffage, and complete the integration of the different
components into a single establishment.
