Blutop under the Champs-Elysées in Paris

The city of Paris has selected Blutop, the new range of Saint-Gobain PAM pipes exclusively for drinking water networks, for the renovation of the fire network for the Petit Palais exhibition center and the Ledoyen restaurant on the famous Avenue des Champs-Elysées in Paris (France).

The difficult task of laying pipes in the narrow galleries under the roadway was made easier by the pipes' light weight and ease of handling, combined with the ergonomic fittings and accessories. This project is the first reference for Blutop in the French capital where the water distribution network is 95 percent comprised of iron pipes laid in the early 19th century and for which renovation is only just now being undertaken.
