The Seine–Nord Europe Canal consists of the construction of a 107 km river infrastructure between the Oise and the Dunkirk-Escaut Canal, on the North Sea-Mediterranean Corridor. It is the central link in the European Seine-Escaut priority project. The work includes the construction of a Vb gauge canal between Compiègne and Aubencheul-au-bac, the construction of transhipment quays and the prefiguration (quays and earthworks) of 4 multimodal platforms for various activities (logistics, industrial, tourism, etc.) as well as the construction of 6 locks, a 1.3 km canal bridge, a 14 million m3 water reservoir basin. In addition, the project is being carried out within the framework of a sustainable development procedure and a “Major construction site” approach.
