Context and challenges

This client is a leading group in the energy sector. This customer has decided to reinforce a SUME(1) power substation (225 / 20 kva) in Paris with the objective of replacing the existing transformer by two new ones in order to resolve the so-called "classic N-2" constraints. This power substation will contribute to supply the first external ring in Paris (20 kV), notably during the 2024 Olympic Games. The building will be constructed in a DUA (Extremely Dense Urban Area) environment with adjoining residential buildings and 3 main constraints:

  • The safety and protection of people
  • Operating and maintenance constraints
  • Respect of the environment

This client selected Assystem to carry out the studies and supervision of the construction of the building as part of a complete project management services contract, within a consortium of several companies.
