He was in charge of planning and construction of the Amiens canal and the Ourcq canal. He collaborated with Gaspard de Prony on the ''Dictionnaire des Ponts et Chaussées'' (Dictionary of Bridges and Highways, 1787).

In 1799, he and other engineers and scientists accompanied Napoleon on his expedition to Egypt. He died in Paris, aged 71. Important works The 1798 monograph ''Traite An ...
