Our assets
Since 2015, our firm has acquired unique expertise in coastal risk management and coastal development by successively intervening for:
- Diagnostic studies on the evolution of the coastline,
- The development of their local strategy,
- The relocation of road infrastructure and equipment required due to coastline recession,
- The renewal of leases issued on properties threatened in the short term by the risk of erosion,
- The implementation of original provisions of urban planning schemes (PLU- Plan local d'urbanisme) which, adopted following the development of its local coastline management strategy, aims to authorise only temporary constructions in an urbanised sector exposed to the risk of erosion by 2050,
- The revision of beach plans.
