Made in france, top priority: safety on all sites and buildings

A Vinci Group subsidiary since 2007 and spread over a 17-hectare site in Montereau-Fault-Yonne (France), Soletanche Bachy''s Technical Equipment Hub has specialized teams which supply power gensets, cranes and distribution cabinets to various sites in France and abroad. Its operators, technicians and engineers work on repairing and sealing large-scale dams, protective walls for nuclear power stations, metro tunnels in major urban areas, the deepest foundations for the highest skyscrapers in Asia, Europe and the Middle East, the restoration of monuments and marine structures. No fewer than 450 cabinets and 70 sites were supplied in 2014!

Soletanche maintains a qualified workforce for the design, manufacture, handling and maintenance of their assets which comprise raw materials, cement manufacturing plants, 50 drilling rigs, mud drilling machines, silos, cranes, paint spray booths and some 800 electrical distribution cabinets.

Today: Reliable

With the number of socket failures reports increasing, Arnaud Cantin looked into the Marechal decontactor as a potential solution to his problem. “Marechal Electric assessed the case and advised us to install the 50A and 90A DS decontactors. Their service was first class and the prices were very competitive too. A win-win situation!” Cantin sees symmetry between Soletanche''s motto “Build on us” and his relationship with Marechal in terms of service, technical know-how and product capability for each of his applications.

The power plants on each site are independent and are used by all site operators and technicians.

-30A multi-contact DN9C decontactor sockets to power concrete vibrators

-Star-delta decontactor sockets for 75 and 90 kW motors,

-Single-pole power connectors SP (up to 700 A) for the sludge treatment plant These plants carry two separate power supplies. One for power supply to a start control cabinet for 4 engines 55KW (pumps) and the other for another motor starting control cabinet: 1 of 90kw and 75kw and other additional devices.

-And 150A DS9 decontactor sockets for pump disconnects.

“I have no negative feedback, no complaints, so that suits me very well!” asserts Arnaud Cantin, adding “With these combined reliable solutions, some power plants have been operational since 2007.”

All power plants are stored outside. The plugs and socket-outlets also solve the watertightness problems, robustness and numerous plugging operations.
