Specific tasks included water access improvement along the Cologny shipyard, the installation of riprap sections, and the construction of both circular and linear pontoons. The total cost of the project was approximately CHF 4 million, funded by the municipality of Cologny and the Canton of Geneva.

Byggestart oktober 2019, ferdig juli 2020

Construction commenced in October 2019 and was completed by July 2020, though the initial plans were delayed due to the Covid-19 pandemic. The construction volume was valued at CHF 1.8 million, among other currencies. The project was managed by OCEau- Service du Lac, de la renaturation des cours d'eau et de la pêche in collaboration with the Commune de Cologny. ADAo architectes sàrl served as both the architect and bauphysiker, while CERA SA handled planning.

Skaper beskyttede natursoner

A key sustainability aspect of the project involves creating protected, near-natural areas for native wildlife to nest and breed. This includes an upstream reed zone that was planned to finish in 2020, with a second reed zone involving blocks of limestone. These naturations aim to revitalize additional shore areas of Lake Geneva over the coming years.
