Detailed inspections carried out during the 2006 campaign revealed that two structures (the viaducts of Pala Nord and Sainte Agnès Sud) presented structural defects. The ESTEREL, COTE D’AZUR, PROVENCE, ALPES motorways company (ESCOTA) wished to repair these two prestressed concrete structures as a matter of priority. Project management plans were carried out by EGIS JMI on the basis of the project management specifications drawn up by DIADES. The reinforcement works were carried out by the GTM-Freyssinet consortium.
