Guy-Thomas Levy-Soussan , the Managing Director
: Compared to Fontvieille , how innovative is it ?
Guy-Thomas Levy-Soussan : From the point of view of construction and civil engineering , we are truly talking about high technology . Just to compare , Fontvieille is more of a 1980s home phone whilst Mareterra is an iphone that you have in your pocket !
To build the maritime infrastructure we have partnered with Bouygues Public Works . Specially for this operation a huge floating dock was constructed , holding 18 reinforced concrete caissons of 10,000 tonnes each . They are the ones limiting the " Anse du Portier " sea borders , baptized “ Mareterra ” by the Sovereign .
This land is reinforced by over 1,100 piles to support the buildings . If placed end to end , the piles are 40 kilometres long .
