Examples of our innovations

Recognised innovations:

  • ESPADA , an innovative, integrated floodwater forecast, prevention and management system implemented by Egis for the city of Nîmes, has received the 2006 Grand Prix National de l'Ingénierie ( French National Engineering Prize ) awarded by the Minister for Equipment.
  • SAGACE , Egis Mobilité's management aid system for complex operating situations, was awarded the 2006 World Road Association's (AIPCR-France) 1st prize in the "Construction, maintenance and operations" category.

Patented innovation developed with our industrial partners:

  • An effective, simple-to-implement and high-performance procedure to strengthen energy transmission towers , a need which was highlighted by the 1999 winter storm, adopted by France's Réseau de Transport d'Electricité (Electricity Transmission Network).
  • UNIBRIDGE : A new type of temporary prefabricated metal bridge, allowing spans of up to 48m, and able to be set up in a day. This procedure received a 1st Prize Award from France's Fédération Nationale des Travaux Publics (National Public Works Federation).

 

Advanced project optimisation methods:

  • For the management of complex projects, the interface management method is aimed at eliminating all sources of reduced technical efficiency and disputes
  • Of direct use for the customer, who makes major savings (15 to 20% according to our three most recent projects) from the complex rail project cost optimisation method .

We have developed a wide range of other innovations which can be integrated into our offers.
