Between 2023 and 2024, Balineau carried out mooring works for a floating commercial vessel in Saint-Germain-de-la-rivi\u00e8re.<\/p>\n

The floating barge in question, the P\u00e9niche du Mascaret, is a 50 m long, shallow draught, flat-bottomed vessel. The barge is moored to two dolphins by collars, and access from land is via two gangways supported by headframes fixed to piles.<\/p>\n

The whole project has been designed around a natural phenomenon: the tidal bore. This is a series of waves created when the waters of a river meet the tides of the oceans. This phenomenon can be observed on the Dordogne during seasons with high tidal coefficients, generating waves that can sometimes be several metres high.<\/p>\n
