A leading regional player covering all areas of expertise
The Infrastructure & Works division is made up of over thirty agencies and operating sites, spread throughout the various departments of France’s Greater West region. Groupe Pigeon has 60 years of recognized expertise, from upstream technical design (studies) to downstream implementation (worksites), in multiple and complementary fields: major earthworks and pavements, roads and motorways, urban development, industrial platforms, sewerage and other networks, sports floors, asphalt, housing estates, deconstruction, public works, etc.
The Infrastructure & Works division is at the heart of Groupe Pigeon's development model, given the close links it has with the other three divisions, Aggregates & Environment, Construction & Concrete and Engineering & Services, and its economic and industrial importance.
Its ambitions are to:
- Enhance the cross-disciplinary skills of its subsidiaries in the construction, maintenance and development of infrastructure works.
- Develop new product and service offerings in these segments, particularly in the areas of energy transition and digital technology.
The Infrastructure & Works division relies on a regional network of multi-skilled industrial entities with first-rate business skills, all of which are positioned to work closely with its public and private customers.
An efficient and certified organisation serving all your projects, favourable to the development of the circular economy
Concerned about the efficiency of our structures and the services offered, Groupe Pigeon has always been proactive in terms of certifications for our various entities (ISO 9001 and 14001, OHSAS 18001, MASE), guarantees of quality and efficiency for our employees, partners, and customers. The various sites also benefit from a high-performance equipment fleet adapted to the relevant technical and economic constraints.
The entities of the Infrastructure & Works division recover quality materials, in particular from Groupe Pigeon's local quarries. They also reuse a growing proportion of recycled materials directly on the sites, relying on a network of recycling platforms or thanks to the latest generation of asphalt plants with a recycling capacity of 50%. The Infrastructure & Works division also has the strategic and technical support of the CBTP LABORATORY, which carries out studies and checks from design to the acceptance of works, thus offering our customers and partners secure, high-quality services.
Groupe Pigeon has also developed a new type of service offer in terms of infrastructure management and services for towns and communities within the framework of Global Performance Contracts (GPC). Groupe Pigeon has developed an innovative offer with a digital application to facilitate exchanges between the local authority, users and the relevant entities of the Infrastructure & Works division. By reporting, in real time, any road or infrastructure deterioration, this type of service, combined with video surveillance cameras, makes it possible to significantly reduce local authority expenditure in this area.
