Birth Date 1891-02-10 Birthplace Paris Death Date 1960-07-21 Training Institution École Polytechnique École Nationale des Ponts et Chaussées Occupation Civil Engineer Biographical Text André Coyne was born on February 10, 1891, in Paris. He was a French engineer of roads, bridges and, above all, dams, having designed about 70 dams in 14 countries. Born from a music-related family, he studied at Janson-de-Sailly High School, where he showed great skill in drawing and practicing the violin. In 1911 he joined the École Polytechnique. However, in October 1913, he joined the Corps des Ponts et Chaussées, a French civil engineering public body, continuing his studies at the École Nationale des Ponts et Chaussées. In 1914 Coyne was finally an engineer. André Coyne was appointed second lieutenant in the 5th Régiment du Genie. It was in this unit that he stayed at the beginning of World War I, in August 1914. In May 1917, at his request, he was assigned as a pilot on the eastern front, in the aviation detachment of the French Army of the East, more specifically in the Danube Army. Returned from the war, the engineer dedicated himself to the design of several infrastructures, namely bridges and dams. In 1928 he decided to leave the Corps des Ponts et Chaussées and join the power company Energie Electrique de la Haute Dordogne to become the engineer in charge of the Marèges dam construction project. This dam, in Liginiac, built between 1929 and 1935, allowed Coyne to apply the arch dam technique with the use of vaults, and debut it in France, designing the largest double-curvature vault dam of the time and introducing also the ski jumping spillway. Coyne also invented acoustic monitoring procedures and the structure anchoring technique using pretensioned steel ties. He retired from civil service in 1947 to establish an engineering consulting firm. Thus, he founded his own office of consultants and engineering studies with Jean Bellier, ACJB, a name formed with the initials of both and still active. The company developed specific measuring tools and innovative calculation and modeling techniques and is the author of the study of over 200 dams worldwide. His own are the dams of Eagle, Malpasset, Migouélou, Roselend, Salamonde, Kariba, Santa Luzia, New Sale, Bode Castle, Saint-Etienne-Cantalès, Grandval, L'Aigle, Bort-les-Orgues and Chastaing and the Montjean and Albert Louppe bridges, the construction of which he supervised in 1920. He left other renowned works such as the Port of Brest in France. He was recognized as the undisputed expert in the field and was invited to lecture on large dams at the École des Ponts et Chaussées. He received national recognition in 1935 when he was appointed head of the Department of Large Dam Engineering and international recognition in 1945 when he became chairman of the International Committee of Large Dams, a post he held until 1952. In addition, in 1953 he was awarded the Grand Prix d'Architecture for his work designing and building dams. André Coyne died on July 21, 1960, aged 69, in Neuilly-sur-Seine, France, after being deeply affected by the Malpasset dam rupture on December 2, 1959.
