WOODOO, the French pioneer of “augmented wood”, and Bouygues Construction have just signed a strategic partnership at VivaTech to integrate STACK™ into structural building applications. This new construction system transforms fast-growing, low-quality wood species (such as poplar)—typically underused for biomass—into a low-carbon construction material. Its technical performance rivals that of reinforced concrete or steel, at a competitive cost—BETTER. CHEAPER. GREENER.
The partnership covers the entire industrial process. The teams at WOODOO and Bouygues Construction will work hand in hand throughout the design, testing, and construction phases. After technical validation and certification, Bouygues Construction will incorporate 10,000 m³ of STACK™ into its projects—the equivalent of 20,000 m³ of reinforced concrete or the volume of five Olympic swimming pools.
Thanks to mechanical performance at least equal to that of reinforced concrete, STACK™ will allow the construction of load-bearing structures using less material, reducing costs. Its carbon footprint is significantly lower than conventional solutions.
Bouygues Construction, through its subsidiary Bouygues Bâtiment Industrie, and WOODOO are exploring the use of this decarbonized material in the industrial sector, especially for infrastructure related to digital and artificial intelligence applications (such as data centers).
Philippe JOUY, Deputy CEO of Bouygues Construction, in charge of Bouygues Bâtiment France:
“With WOODOO, we are proving that it is possible to combine industrial excellence, economic competitiveness, and ecological transition. Our entire value chain is innovating to build differently—and sustainably.”
Timothée BOITOUZET, CEO and founder of WOODOO:
“This strategic partnership is a key milestone for WOODOO, as it proves that we can achieve cost parity with reinforced concrete within three years—with just 10,000 m³. Being both higher-performing, more sustainable, and more affordable makes us an obvious industrial alternative to reinforced concrete.”
