The construction work in the overall contract amounts to 237 million euros, with approximately 208 million for Chantiers Modernes Construction.

The Romainville-Bobigny center is part of the network of infrastructure managed by Syctom, the central mixed syndicate for household waste treatment in the Paris region.
