Vertical Shores at the Heart of the RER Watermael-Boitsfort Site

On the RER Watermael-Boitsfort project, Franki Foundations acted as a subcontractor for SOCOGETRA.

An extraordinary project

Our teams carried out an impressive task: more than 1,500 m³ of soil were excavated, down to 17 metres, to construct the walls of the emergency exits of a railway tunnel.

When the machines stopped, people took over

Where mechanical equipment could not reach, our staff stepped in.
Completely by hand, they dug, secured, and shaped the ground. Their dedication and expertise ensured the success of the project under demanding conditions.

The expertise of vertical shore excavations

Vertical shore excavations required precision, endurance, and great technical mastery.
Every action mattered to ensure the safety of the teams and the stability of the structure.
At Franki Foundations, we are proud of this rare craft and of those who practised it with passion.
