Who is responsible for the new works that will take place on the highway? – Geneva: who responsible new works
Two weeks after the concerns of the highway linked to the thermal networks of the GIS, the vagueness persists.
In Geneva in 2021. Furthermore, on the highway junction of Grand-Saconnex, the Mat of the Pont Haubané is lifted and set up. For example, In the foreground, the pipes laid for Genilac.

Embarrassed and not very tied up. Moreover, This is the feeling that the parties concerned give by limiting their speaking. However, We interviewed them on their responsibilities in the work that will take geneva: who responsible new works place in the airport district until 2027. Meanwhile, Two weeks after the announcement that the underground behavior of the structuring thermal networks (RTS) of the industrial services of Geneva (SIG) “Are not solid enough. For example, should be repaired.”
Two of the four companies in consortium responsible for the sites responded. In addition, to us by justifying that they could not say anything due to the contractual conditions which [les] bind with the contracting authorities ”. For example, Les Partly answer, but also specify that “a procedure is underway”. The problem is therefore not yet buried. but while waiting for languages to be completely dismissed on this thorny file, here are some observations.
The Internet page disappears for “an update” – Geneva: who responsible new works
RTS in the airport district are integrated into the Genilac energy project. geneva: who responsible new works The latter aims at heat and cool the urban center all year round, Using Lake Geneva water. This technology requires large pipes, resistant to high water pressure.
In Our previous articlethe Director of Public Relations of the GIS explained that two years ago. the work had been paid, because “quality tests had shown that the pipes would not hold the long -term pressure”. Our article also indicated that on the site of the company which provides these pipes. we could read that the GIS had “chosen the reinforced concrete pipe with sheet metal for its qualities of mechanical and thermal resistance”.
A few days later. the pipe supplier withdrew from its Internet page the tab concerning the project that runs along the highway in the airport district. Questioned on this subject. Constolis Bonna TP confirms having geneva: who responsible new works “provided pipes with 4J for Jag consortium, as part of the Genilac project” and specifies that “the Internet page was temporarily disabled as part of an update of the site”. She is Accessible again.
GIS “recommended pipes”
We have not (yet?) Could get the contracts between the GIS and the consortium. Nor those binding consortium to subcontracting companies. The GIS argues that these documents are “confidential”.
However. the public management indicates that it has “a right of gaze and requirements when selecting the contracting parties or subcontractors”. She adds that it does not remain responsible for this choice. which “was consortium, while the SIGs exercised a role of control and validation of technical and qualitative criteria”.
Have the GIS proposed a company? To this question. public management indicates geneva: who responsible new works that it has “recommended pipes” of the type of XXX company (Editor’s note: the GISs do not mention his name) or equivalent ”without imposing the supplier of the pipes because of its unique capacity to provide a solution that meets the technical and specific sustainability requirements of the project”. She continues by explaining that this recommendation was based on positive previous experiences and the documentation provided by the company.
Work already planned
L’Federal Roads Office (Ofrou) owns some sections where the work will take place. Its spokesperson indicates that redevelopments were planned in the motorway sector. that GIS contacted the Office to pool the work in order to limit the nuisances.
Ofrou stresses that “this approach makes sense from a point of view of civil engineering”. but adds that it is now complicated “to geneva: who responsible new works justify a second intervention in the same sector; This is exactly the situation that the two parties sought to avoid by coordinating their work ”.
The spokesperson assures that the Confederation will have nothing to pay for this. RTS project which is independent of the OFROU project.
