River : The Wood Up tower relies on river transportation during its construction

In order to obtain supplies of wood for the construction site where the 17-floor Wood Up tower is being built in the 13th arrondissement of Paris, REI Habitat, a property developer specialising in French wood construction, has been making use of river transport. Wishing to bring prefabricated wood components right into the heart of the capital site in complete safety and with no environmental harms, HAROPA PORT, the VNF (French Waterways Authority) and SOGESTRAN LOGISTICS have been working alongside POULINGUE, a company, to implement two innovative solutions based around containers and a self-discharging pontoon barge.
