Carrion TP

What Carrion TP does

Carrion TP is a French public works (travaux publics) contractor headquartered in Vaulx-en-Velin, in the Lyon metropolitan area, founded in 1957 by Marcel Carrion and rebranded under its current name in 1995 when Laurent Carrion assumed leadership. The company operates as part of the diversified Groupe Carrion, which comprises six specialized entities spanning transport, material recycling, civil engineering, landscaping, urban maintenance, and digital services.

The company delivers six integrated service lines: sanitation and drainage networks (assainissement), drinking water supply networks (adduction d'eau), district heating networks (chauffage urbain), industrial hydraulics (hydraulique industrielle), road infrastructure (voirie), and various networks including public lighting, traffic signals, and telecommunications fiber (réseaux divers). It uses conventional public-works construction techniques — installation of cast iron, steel, PEHD, and PVC piping; pre-insulated district heating pipe; earthwork; asphalt and concrete finishing — and maintains a logistics depot and offices on a 10,000 m² site. The company holds ISO 9001 (quality), ISO 14001 (environment, since 2015), and MASE UIC (safety, since 2009) certifications, which qualify it for both public procurement and work on SEVESO-classified industrial sites.

Carrion TP generates revenue through project-based public works contracts awarded via competitive procurement and through direct contracts with industrial operators, water utilities, social housing providers, project managers, and syndicate/co-ownership managers. Distribution is entirely regional (Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes), with the Métropole de Lyon as a recurring strategic anchor client. Emergency intervention services for water, heating, and sanitation breakdowns supplement project work with reactive, on-call engagements. The company is private, family-owned, and operates with a workforce of 11-50 employees.
