Mission: Expert appraisal mission concerning the harbormaster’s platform for the Port of Bormes the Mimosas
Project management assistance mission
Renowned for its geographical location and its calm harbour, the marina of Bormes-les-Mimosas welcomes you all year round. Built in 1969 in the La Faviére district, it is a port with modern architecture that is privately managed by the Bormes-les-Mimosas International Yacht Club. Its seven-hectare marina features 2,300 meters of dock with 950 berths, 100 of which are reserved for temporary stays.
Its concept and its wide range of equipment offer boaters a pleasant stopover. Highly environmentally conscious, the port has proudly displayed its Blue Flag of Europe award for many years, which guarantees the quality of its waters. The port obtained AFNOR AC J81-030 certification for its environmental management plan (EMP).
The city of Bormes-les-Mimosas is responsible for managing the La Favière marina. The construction and operation were supported by a single concession contract, concluded as of 7 October, 1976 for a period of 48 years between the Government (later replaced by the city of Bormes-les-Mimosas) and the Bormes-les-Mimosas International Yacht Club (hereinafter YCIBM), which will expire on 6 October 2024.
Thus, within the framework of its contractual obligations, for the retrocession of the facility in good condition at the end of the contract, the Bormes-les-Mimosas International Yacht Club conducted an in-house visual inspection of the structure of the harbormaster’s platform in 2014.
Further to the observations noted during the inspection, the Bormes-les-Mimosas International Yacht Club decided to have an audit of the structure conducted to determine which repairs, if necessary, needed to be carried out. CORINTH Engineering was designated to conduct this mission.
