Construction Period 03/2013 - 04/2013
The project involves the construction of a manufacturing plant in
Luxemburg in the zoning Windhof.
In collaboration with the contractor and the architect, we designed a steel
support structure for the whole workshop.
The building has an area of 1850 m². It has a beveled form to account for
the locations of existing roads.
In part of the structure there is a mezzanine floor which can take a
working load of 300 kg/m².
The frame was oversized to allow for 30 minutes of fire resistance.
An additional paint was applied on site to increase the fire resistance to
60 minutes.
The metal structure was calculated using the SCIA Engineer program in
accordance with Eurocode 3.
