Filming in the heart of the underground quarry at Baillet-en-France

Tournage site Baillet-en-France

On July 2, 2025, teams from Bergerat RENT France, exclusive distributor for Caterpillar Inc, filmed ECT’s backfilling operations in the PLACO® underground gypsum quarry at Baillet-en-France. This site, both technical and remarkable in its scale, provides a magnificent backdrop to illustrate ECT’s expertise, the precision of its underground maneuvers and the power of its site machinery.

The aim is to highlight the precision and expertise of ECT operators, who are able to operate in a confined, demanding environment thanks to the power and performance of Caterpillar machines.

The day’s filming, orchestrated by CTL PRODUCTION, captured spectacular images of the machines in action, in a rare industrial setting steeped in history and engineering.

The video will soon be available: in the meantime, many thanks to the teams involved for this unique behind-the-scenes look at the backfilling of an underground quarry.
