Conduit (Saint-Paul, Grand Fond plant, 2014)

This remarkable conduit, found and uncovered to a length of more than 35 metres during the excavation, is one of the oldest parts of the site. During its construction, workers dug a foundation trench at the bottom of which they poured a hydraulic mortar slab partly composed of volcanic tufa. The use of these materials and techniques makes this conduit unique.
