 | Despite significant progress towards implementing the Integrated Pollution Prevention and Control Directive in Bosnia-Herzegovina, additional measures will be necessary to ensure that the directive is fully effective.
The task assigned to SAFEGE is to strengthen institutional capacity in the country's environment sector and ensure that the EC directive, having being transposed into national law, is properly implemented. |
SAFEGE expands its capability in the area of complex civil engineering
 | An agreement with civil engineering specialists Hagenmuller has sealed SAFEGE's acquisition of a majority stake in the firm.
The move enables SAFEGE to strengthen its capability in complex civil works for water and building infrastructure projects, and to expand its service offering in this field through access to Hagenmuller's seismic engineering expertise.
Hagenmuller, which has a staff of 19 and annual turnover of €1.5 million, provides services for municipal customers and civil engineering contractors.

Study to examine the behaviour of the Paris sewer system during a flood event of the 1910 Great Paris Flood type and determination of measures to protect flood-prone areas
 | Since 2002, the City of Paris has been working to develop a flood protection plan to protect the city against the risks associated with flooding of the River Seine on the scale that occurred in 1910.
Further to a first study to identify areas prone to sewer system overflows in such conditions, the city authorities are seeking to improve the reliability of the existing model of the Paris sewer system and to run simulations for different scenarios using a combined 1D sewer system/2D surface model. The study, which is financed jointly by the City of Paris and the Agence de l’Eau Seine-Normandie, aims to analyse the behaviour of the main sewer system structures and identify areas prone to flooding due to overloading of the sewer system. |
