Engineered to meet European standards (NF EN 12620), our top-tier machines provide unmatched precision for French agricultural and municipal projects.
France, as the leading agricultural power in the European Union, faces critical challenges in water resource management. With the increasing volatility of climate patterns, the French construction sector—specifically in regions like Occitanie, Nouvelle-Aquitaine, and Grand Est—is shifting toward mechanized concrete ditch lining to replace labor-intensive pre-cast methods.
Our concrete ditch lining machines are designed to assist French contractors in adhering to the French Water Act (Loi sur l'eau), ensuring that drainage systems in high-speed rail networks (LGV) and highway projects (A1, A7, A10) are built with zero-seepage technology and extreme durability.

Unlike traditional methods, our machines utilize high-frequency vibration and hydraulic extrusion to form concrete channels in a single pass. This "monolithic" structure is essential for France's diverse soil types, from the loamy soils of the North to the limestone-heavy terrain of the South, preventing cracks caused by thermal expansion or soil movement.
We ensure every machine delivered to Marseille, Le Havre, or Lyon meets the CE Certification requirements. Our technical team integrates components from globally recognized brands (Danfoss, Eaton, Cummins) to ensure that French operators have access to local maintenance and spare parts without international delays.

At Weifang MRECH, we are currently developing the 2025-2030 roadmap for the French market, focusing on:
Located in Weifang City, Shandong Province—the heart of China's heavy machinery industry—MRECH has evolved into a global leader in road construction equipment. Our mission is to bridge the gap between high-performance engineering and economic feasibility.
With a dedicated "European Support Desk," we have specialized in the French market for over a decade, understanding the logistical nuances of shipping to ports like Bordeaux and Dunkirk, and providing documentation in French for seamless customs clearance.
Yes, all equipment exported to France carries the CE marking and adheres to the Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC. We provide all safety manuals and warning labels in French upon request.
Absolutely. We specialize in customized molds. Whether you need a trapezoidal ditch for rural irrigation in Provence or a deep U-channel for highway runoff, our engineers design the mold to your specific blueprints.
Standard machines typically ship within 15-20 days. Sea freight to Le Havre or Marseille usually takes 30-35 days. We also offer DDP (Delivered Duty Paid) options to simplify the process for French buyers.
Slipforming requires a "low slump" concrete mix (typically 20-50mm). We provide a detailed technical guide on the optimal aggregate-to-cement ratio based on French concrete standards (NF EN 206) to ensure the channel holds its shape immediately after paving.
