Watertracks and EDF receive the ICOLD Innovation Award in Chengdu!

We are extremely proud to announce that Watertracks and EDF have been awarded the ICOLD Innovation Award 2025 at the 28th International Congress of Large Dams in Chengdu, China. 🇨🇳.

This international recognition rewards the fruit of an exemplary innovation partnership, born of a shared determination to reconcile technical performance, the safety of hydraulic structures and respect for the aquatic environment.

In the spotlight: NESSIE, our robotized underwater cleaning system, designed to meet the challenges of sediment cleaning in a safer, more sustainable and more efficient way.

This award celebrates a collective adventure. We would like to extend a huge thank you to everyone who has supported Watertracks since 2016: our pioneering customers, our technical and scientific partners, our passionate teams, and the institutional and financial players who have believed in us every step of the way.

Congratulations also to EDF, with whom we have built a solid and visionary partnership, as reflected in the innovation honored today.

We are pleased to share with you Raphaël Gaillard ‘s presentation of the project at the ceremony in Chengdu. A concentrate of meaning, terrain and perspectives!
