The site selected for the La Feyssine wastewater treatment plant is in the hamlet of La Feyssine, on the left bank of the Rhône immediately upstream of the confluence of the Jonage canal and the Vieux-Rhôneis and is an integral part of the great urban landscape project which forms part of the “blue ring” along the Rhône embankments.
FOCUS by Xavier Patriarche
The La Feyssine wastewater treatment plant development project is part of the landscape, alive and scalable over time. It is a project at one with the site, stretching between the Jonage canal and the peripheral boulevard.
Apart from the operational building and the Cemagref building, the entire plant is a highly linear and relatively low civil engineering structure. It is a line stretching into the landscape, linking to the river on the horizon.
The new sludge treatment structures consist of a building with two outside silos, a digester and a gasometer. These structures, with their highly industrial connotation, have been deliberately left bare, without artifice, but will be screened by a curtain of bamboos. They will therefore be seen through a plant screen.
