Granville Herel main breakwater and sill-wall repair

Official aerial view of Granville showing the Herel marina and its long main breakwater formed by Jarlan caissons

Departement de la Manche; exact Port de Granville and Herel main-breakwater context published with the 2025 works release

Departement de la Manche launched repairs to the Herel marina's 360-metre main breakwater and sill wall on 25 August 2025 after a 2022 diagnosis found reinforcement corrosion, about 1,850 m2 of concrete spalling and 2,100 linear metres of cracking. BOAMP award notice 25-51135 identifies contract 2025-25136, a EUR 5,897,585 payable amount, two tenders and Entreprise Marc SA as the published titulaire. The owner separately names a three-company delivery group of Marc SA, NGE Genie Civil SAS and ETPO Normandie, gives a rounded EUR 7.1 million project amount and targeted end-May 2026 acceptance after nine months. A completion certificate or owner acceptance notice is absent from the cited current sources.

Project anatomy

Contract scope and delivery roles

Client / authority
Departement de la Manche, owner of the departmental Port de Granville
Delivery parties
Entreprise Marc SA - BOAMP-published titulaire and owner-named delivery-group member, NGE Genie Civil SAS - owner-named delivery-group member, ETPO Normandie - owner-named delivery-group member, Unnamed rope-access subcontractor - BOAMP discloses EUR 250,000 for reinforced-concrete cleaning and patch repair but no legal name
Contract route
Open works procedure under BOAMP notice chain 24-142391, 25-3691, 25-17999 and 25-51135. The award record reports two tenders, contract 2025-25136, a 7 April 2025 contract-issue field and a EUR 5,897,585 payable amount. It names Entreprise Marc SA as titulaire; the owner's later start notice describes Marc SA, NGE Genie Civil SAS and ETPO Normandie as the works group. The two records are preserved rather than forcing the owner group into BOAMP's single published winner field.
Execution window
The owner says site activity began on 25 August 2025 and set a nine-month programme with acceptance planned for the end of May 2026, excluding weather delays. Work was to proceed mainly from rope access and four mobile gantries, with divers supporting marine interfaces and a tower crane established from the Herel parking area. The planned acceptance date has passed; no cited source confirms actual completion, sectional release, formal acceptance or demobilisation.
Works package
Clean reinforced-concrete surfaces, remove unsound material, patch spalled concrete, inject cracks, treat fractures and apply a waterproof protective coating to the main breakwater and sill wall. The main breakwater comprises 52 Jarlan caissons approximately 14 metres high over about 360 metres. The 2022 SITES diagnosis reported corrosion, approximately 1,850 m2 of concrete spalling and 2,100 linear metres of cracking across the sill wall and two breakwaters; the published contract addresses the main breakwater and sill wall.
Marine interfaces
An operating marina, tidal exposure, 52 perforated Jarlan caissons, exterior and internal concrete faces, rope-access teams, four gantries, diver access, tower-crane logistics, pedestrian exclusion and weather downtime form one delivery system. Repair quantities must be tied to accessible faces and accepted treatments rather than inferred from the diagnosis totals.
Commercial evidence boundary
BOAMP records a EUR 5,897,585 award amount, while the owner gives a separately rounded EUR 7.1 million project statement. The two figures are separate baselines; neither their sum nor their difference establishes a variation. BOAMP discloses EUR 250,000 of known subcontracting for rope-access cleaning and concrete patch repair without naming the subcontractor. The value split among Marc, NGE and ETPO remains undisclosed, and the owner release omits payment, measured repair quantities, variation and final-account data.

Evidence gap

What remains unverified

Outstanding evidence

  • Owner or engineer completion and acceptance certificate after the missed end-May 2026 publication window
  • Measured patch-repair area and injected crack length versus the 2022 diagnosis
  • Waterproof protective-coating completion and treated-face coverage
  • Condition and closure records for all 52 Jarlan caissons and the sill wall
  • Diver, rope-access, gantry and tower-crane demobilisation
  • Identity and delivered scope of the EUR 250,000 rope-access subcontractor
  • Weather extensions, variations, payment and final account
  • Pedestrian reopening, defects period and owner maintenance responsibility
