In 2009 the company constructed its first microtunnel in Germany, a double crossing of the Reno river with the microtunneling technique, to connect two refineries in Wesseling, Cologne.

In 2010 ICOP realised the motorway Autostrada A34.

In 2013 the company started the works on the Cityringen Metro Project. The new underground ring has a total length of 17,4 km and connects all central areas of Copenhagen.

In 2014 the company became an Eiffage partner for the execution of some lots (Line 15 and Line 16) of the Grand Paris Express, one of the most ambitious projects linked to urban transformation.

In 2016 the design and execution of consolidation works and improvement of soil quality with cement injections in Gravelines Nuclear Power Station as part of the “Post Fukushima” project.
