Background

CHARIER was awarded the tender for the construction of the new La Turballe breakwater, featuring an Xbloc® armour layer. CHARIER called upon CLAS to provide support from the initial safety training through to the CLASS A certification of the breakwater.

Xbloc® is a registered trademark owned by Delta Marine Consultants (DMC), which is in no way affiliated with CLAS. CLAS intervened on this project in full independence, making it possible to carry out an impartial quality certification.

Chiffres clés

  • 4,000 Xbloc® units of 2.5 and 4 m³
    Average production rate: 8 units/hour for the 2.5 m³ Xbloc® units

  • Safety training,

  • Training of the Xbloc® installation teams,

  • Supervision of the works,

  • Quality assurance monitoring,

  • Preparation of a complete certification file.
