Innovations

At Bouygues Construction, we research, develop, test and deploy innovative solutions to meet the major challenges facing our customers, society and local communities.
 
R&D Innovation helps to design spaces that are more flexible, comfortable, healthy and safe. Our teams rethink structures as intelligent, connected ecosystems. Structures in which data is used to improve energy performance, optimize operation and maintenance, and enhance the user experience. They also study emerging technologies such as the digital twin to imagine new collaborative tools that facilitate co-creation and project management. 
 
3 objectives that make sense: 
- Accelerate responses to environmental challenges, 
- Integrate emerging trends and new uses, 
- Increase operational efficiency by digitizing our activities and industrializing our sites. 
 
We wanted our R&D Innovation to be close to our worksites and engineering departments, and to listen to our customers and end-users, in order to keep pace with the evolution of our businesses and bring breakthrough innovations. But it's also about staying one step ahead, playing a pioneering role in new technologies that are not yet mature: our teams are moving the lines and creating new opportunities for tomorrow's projects!
