Enedis
Enedis is the main operator of the public electricity distribution network in France. Faced with the new challenges of the energy transition, such as the development of electromobility or the integration of renewable sources, the company is undertaking multiple projects to make its infrastructures reliable and improve their infrastructures. In this context, it must reconcile various objectives: secure electrical supply, modernize its installations, optimize energy performance and anticipate the rise of electric vehicles.
These operations take place in a demanding regulatory environment, where traceability and the quality of interventions are essential. There are multiple technical constraints: customer connections, upgrade of source stations, deployment of monitoring devices, etc. Construction sites must also adapt to territorial contexts and calendar requirements. In addition, collaboration with a large ecosystem of actors — suppliers, communities, industrial operators — requires careful coordination to avoid any delay and guarantee the safety of operations. At the same time, expediting and contractual management approaches reinforce the control of supplies and the smooth execution of projects. The challenge is therefore to set up an agile and methodical organization, allowing Enedis to develop its network while guaranteeing the continuity and quality of service.
Enedis was looking for a partner capable of supporting it in the implementation of various operational and technical solutions, from the coordination of studies to the supervision of complex projects. The development of electrification, the rise of renewable energies and the need to secure infrastructures require precise management of deadlines, support for supplier performance and rigorous control of costs and quality. All this had to be done in strict compliance with safety regulations and the regulatory framework of the electrical sector.
Strengthen technical coordination for complex multi-actor operations.
Optimize supplier performance through a structured expediting process.
Support urban electrification and the modernization of the large-scale network.
At the heart of these projects, Vulcain Engineering has deployed various areas of expertise: work planning, contract management, site supervision and technical support. The teams supported Enedis in organizing the interventions, ensuring both safety, compliance with milestones and the reliability of the deliverables. They have also implemented expediting and budgetary monitoring procedures to secure supplies and anticipate risks. All while maintaining close communication between the multiple actors concerned (suppliers, communities, operators, etc.).
Coordinate phases of studies, works and commissioning within a regulated framework.
Manage supplier expediting to prevent production delays and misalignments.
Manage documentation and traceability to meet local standards and requirements.
