The GUINTOLI–BUESA consortium chose CLAS to support it in the reconstruction of the EDF breakwater in Martigues.
Safety was a constant concern for all parties involved on this construction site, because seawater pumping was never stopped during the works. CLAS deployed a BlueROV2 ROV and a team of experienced commercial divers.
