From October 12 to 16, the track cycling world championships will take place in Saint-Quentin-en-Yvelines. Mathilde Gros, our Provençal champion, member of the French sprint team, which we support through her Salon Cyclosport club, will participate in 3 disciplines: team speed, individual speed and Keirin. Go Matilda! The whole SAMT is behind you!!!

Si vous cherchez une belle histoire à raconter le soir à vos enfants, voici celle du béton armé. Imagination, audace, tradition, révolution… il y a tous les ingrédients d’un conte des temps modernes ! Foi d’armaturiers. (Nous avions écrit cette petite histoire en 2013, elle n’a pas pris une fissure !)

As part of the new High Speed ​​2 (HS2) high-speed line, we are starting a major project with the construction of a series of railway viaducts near the city of Birmingham. High Speed ​​2 is a proposed high-speed line between London and the Midlands, the North of England and possibly later the Central Belt of Scotland.

Our teams will install nearly 22,000 tonnes of reinforcement distributed between the prefabricated segments on a single site and the supports of the various viaducts that will be built in situ. A new subsidiary based in the United Kingdom has been created for the occasion: SAMT REBAR LTD.

On Sunday August 28, 2022, the New Coastal Road of Reunion was opened to traffic. Well almost, since it is currently only accessible in one direction, from Saint-Denis to the Grande Chaloupe. Many motorists and motorcyclists made the trip to be among the first to take the 8.7 km stretch which traces a straight line to the west, a hundred meters from the coast.

We started this project in 2014 with the Possession interchange, then the Grande Chaloupe viaduct, then the offshore viaduct and the Dykes... In the end, we will have laid approximately 40,000 tonnes of steel during the 5 years of the construction of the NRL, from 2014 to 2018, to build this exceptional infrastructure.

This project consists of doubling the existing bridge which will accommodate road traffic going in the direction of Cayenne to Kourou and a two-way greenway. The works include the construction of the new 1,300 m long bridge over 20 spans with a precast prestressed concrete mono-box deck of variable height, the segments of which will be placed on the beam by cantilevering. Start of work in September 2022. (Client: Dodin Campenon Bernard/Soletanche Bachy/Sogéa Guyane/Freyssinet/Balineau consortium).

After several months of work, our teams are still working on the UVE of Saint-Pierre with in particular the realization of very technical works: Rectangular methanization tanks with heavy metalwork and having to be concreted in one piece to guarantee their tightness.

For more than 3 years, our teams have been working on the construction of the future RER E station at Porte Maillot. We have finally arrived at the deepest level and we are starting to lay the reinforcement for the slab, made up of nearly 1,000 tonnes of reinforcement.

We will soon be supplying and installing the frames of the Rapas cable-stayed footbridge which will connect the island of Ramier to the tram (Fer à Cheval station) and to the cycle and pedestrian network of the dike (Customer: Eiffage GC).

The island of Guadeloupe is the most seismic department in France. In construction, the reinforcements are adapted and complex to implement, which requires real expertise for the installation in formwork. Since our establishment and the construction of the new CHU des Abymes, several customers have trusted us for the realization of their projects: GTM Guadeloupe, ICM, Sogetra, Cegelec…

Let's go for the 6 wind turbine foundations in Macouba, in the north of Martinique. Our team on site must place nearly 90 tonnes of reinforcement per block, every 10 days. (Client: Colas Antilles)
