Regional Public Works Directorate
I doubt there is yet any official translation for this agency. Already in 1992 I pleaded in the right French places about multilingual glossaries with official translations for every French ministry and government agency, saying that Sweden had given birth to such a thing at least 30 years earlier. They looked at me like I was a flake, but they couldn't help it: they were power brokers.
Anyhow, "Ministère de l'Equipement" used to be called "Ministère des Travaux Publics" and that is what they still do despite the cosmetic name change.

Comment: "Yep, thanks Arthur, for your suggestion, and for your efforts to yank the French public corporation world out of translation prehistory :)
