An award-winning SEV renovation project
The project involved the complete renovation of the SEV, including the creation of a 120 m-long “international-level” channel, the complete replacement of the pumping station to increase capacity from 6 to 12 m3/s, the installation of a conveyor belt, and the refurbishment of all landscaping to preserve the SEV’s role as an urban park.
An investment of €4.5 million and an award-winning project: last December, it received the “Terre de Jeux 2024” label and won the jury’s “Coup de cœur” award, which recognised local authorities involved in a wide range of initiatives and demonstrating a particularly strong commitment.
