Calais Port Expansion Project – One of Europe’s Largest Developments

The Port of Calais is one of Europe’s key maritime gateways, directly connecting France and the United Kingdom. With increasing volumes of cargo and passenger traffic, the port expansion has become essential to meet operational demands, modernize infrastructure, and comply with European Union (EU) environmental standards.

The Calais Port expansion project (“Calais Port 2015”), led by Bouygues Travaux Publics, involves a total investment of €675 million over five years. Key components include:

• Construction of a breakwater over 3 km long
• Expansion of port area by 110 hectares
• Development of internal transport systems, water supply, drainage, and modern wastewater treatment infrastructure

This project represents not only economic value but also a strategic step toward sustainable development, marine ecosystem protection, and climate change adaptation.

Techneau – Advanced Water Treatment Solutions at the Core of the Project

Recognized as one of the leading water treatment manufacturers in France and Europe, Techneau was selected as the official partner to provide stormwater and wastewater treatment solutions for the Calais Port project.

With its expertise and high-quality products, Techneau deployed:

• 9 pollutant settling and treatment units (décanteurs dépollueurs) at strategic drainage points
• Solutions for removing suspended solids and contaminants before discharge into the marine environment
• Optimized system performance while ensuring energy efficiency and ease of maintenance

These systems meet stringent technical standards and align with the EU’s green development and circular economy principles.

Techneau at the 2025 National Water Management Conference

On January 22–23, 2025, the city of Rennes hosted the Carrefour des Gestions Locales de l’Eau — a major annual event gathering hundreds of stakeholders in water supply, wastewater, environmental, and urban management sectors across France and Europe.

At the event, Techneau — a member of Gaeau Développement Group — made a strong impression by showcasing advanced technical solutions aimed at improving water management efficiency.

1. Modular Wastewater Pumping Station – Breakthrough Technology for Modern Cities

This innovative product is designed with flexible modular architecture for various urban and industrial applications. Key features include:

• Modular design for easy installation, expansion, and maintenance
• Durable, corrosion-resistant materials suitable for harsh environments
• Optimized investment and long-term operational costs
• Integrated sensors for monitoring water level, pressure, and remote operation status

This solution aligns with the “smart water management” trend increasingly adopted by cities to optimize resources and operational efficiency.

2. Community Engagement and Ecosystem Development

Techneau’s exhibition space was designed as a “mini Normandy village,” combining regional cultural identity with an open environment for networking and collaboration with:

• Local authorities and public organizations
• Engineering consultants and urban/environmental planners
• Operators and maintenance units of hydraulic systems
• Infrastructure contractors and equipment suppliers

This presence not only demonstrated Techneau’s technological capabilities but also reinforced its active role in shaping the future of the water sector — where every stage, from pre-treatment and oil separation to pumping and reuse, forms part of an integrated strategy.
