Construction of a new state-of-the-art thermal power plant at Bouchain (France): 100% innovation and 100% performance


The Combined Cycle Gas Turbine (CCGT) plant at Bouchain: a flagship project, a high energy efficiency power plant.


Conducted in partnership with General Electric, the Bouchain project mobilized all of our know-how and expertise. It is emblematic of our ability to innovate, build and commission a compact power plant with a high power capacity (605 MW).

Renewing and refreshing: 2 innovations to support our clients

“Teleported” Expert: Remote video-collaboration for even more operational performance

This novel real-time communication technology enables technicians and experts to collaborate in “live” mode and real-time image and sound on complex topics across the world. A technician conducting repair operations in situ can thus have a live conversation with experts based on the other side of the planet via audio and video transmission, to assess the situation in real time. Examples of previously experimented use cases: assistance to construction works, commissioning tests or expert appraisals of facilities.

VIB360: Computer-aided engine diagnosis tool delivering a full check in 30 minutes with only 3 sensors

The VIB360 software can trouble-shoot a reciprocating engine and diagnose malfunctions, warn the operator before any downgrading of performance, or handle a sudden engine failure without the need for conventional maintenance, thus providing high-quality and trustworthy expert appraisals through anticipation, resulting in cost savings.
