Founded in 1994, our company, based in Lausanne Switzerland, operates
in various domains of civil engineering. Specializing in
structural design
,
we are experts in
composite steel, concrete
and
wood, concrete
construction, cellular beams ACB, seismic design
and
fire engineering
.
With advanced software, we are able to produce workshop drawings
including site plans, construction drawings, and assembly and details with
3D rendering. Thanks to over 20 years of experience and knowledge, we
can provide our clients with the most advanced solution from a technical and
economical point of view, while respecting architectural constraints.

Construction Period 11/2014 - 06/2016
Under the leadership of its former president, the FIDTA built the World
Archery Centre, which includes an outdoor field of 50 x 115 m and an
indoor shooting gallery of 35 x 90 m. The construction site is located in the
northern part of Lausanne (Vers-chez-les-Blanc), near its headquarters. The
challenge with this design was to create a free area of H. 5.00 x W. 29.80 x
L. 74.50 without using any load bearing elements on the ground floor.
Both the basement and the ground floor are made of concrete. The
structure of the storey has the particularity to support the roof and hold the
first floor above the shooting hall. This main construction element is realized
using a steel
Vierendeel girder
. The lower chord is in the plane of the floor,
while the upper chord is in the plane of the roof. The raised floor is made up
of a precast
cellular slab in prestressed concrete
and upper chords are
connected and stabilized by ArcelorMittal Cellular Beams.
SCIA Engineer was used to create a 3D model of the steel construction
as well as of the concrete walls, in order to find complex stresses and
deformations. The study of the frame angle was achieved thanks to
plate
modelling
. In addition, stiffeners were sized with
the steel connections
pack
. The software also allowed us to model cellular beams and take into
account
seismic forces
.
