After [[Eiffel, Alexandre Gustave]] ends his partnership with fellow engineer [[Seyrig, François Gustave Théophile]], their joint company is renamed into [[Compagnie des Établissements Eiffel]]. Already well-established in his field, [[Eiffel, Alexandre Gustave]] occasionally bypasses selection processes to be hired for a project. To assist in the company's undertaken projects, [[Koechlin, Maurice]] and [[Nouguier, Émile]] are taken on.
