The NATALI–BUESA consortium chose CLAS to assist them during the construction of the two breakwaters of the Port of Bastia and to certify the works.
The two breakwaters of the Port of Bastia were to be rebuilt with ACCROPODE™ II armor layers. The company CLAS was chosen to support the consortium and to certify the quality of the works.
ACCROPODE™ II is a registered trademark owned by the ARTELIA Group, which is in no way affiliated with CLAS.
During this construction project, the total independence of CLAS from the license vendor, who was also the Engineer in charge of design, construction supervision and works acceptance, constituted an essential guarantee to ensure objective and impartial control of the structures.
The mission entrusted to CLAS
Here is the strictly faithful translation into US English, without reformulation:
Train the installation teams in safety and in the ACCROPODE™ technique.
Supervise the placement of the units,
Improve installation quality,
Achieve high production,
Certify the quality of the works.
