Our projects include office buildings, hotels, health establishments, commercial and industrial buildings, residential constructions, schools and sports installations. Our 50 engineers and designers are ready to find the most adapted solution for your project. Owner Mithra Pharmaceuticals Architect Valentiny Architectes scprl General Contractor SM Wust Moury Engineering Office Bureau d’Etudes Lemaire sa Construction Period 09/2014 - 06/2017 The Mithra Pharmaceuticals project consists of the construction of a new production site in Liège. The project is composed of six different buildings with distinct functions: production, research and development, logistics, warehouses and offices. The total useful surface is about 15,000 m². The main structures of the project are made of concrete precast elements assembled on site but the offices are made of a very complex steel structure to respect the ambitious architectural choices. Each building is based on a concrete foundation slab that has been modelled with SCIA Engineer. During the earthmoving process, some mine shafts have been discovered under the production building and we had to reinforce the foundations slab with piles. In fact, the design of the foundations had to allow the appearance of a mine shaft under the slab and the loss of a few piles. This case has been integrated in the modelling. The office building is made of a 3D steel structure. This structure was totally designed with SCIA Engineer. This part of the project includes a two-floor overhanging of five metres. The main steel beams that compose the overhanging needed a predefined deflection to balance the slab’s deformations under dead loads. This measure has been defined thanks to SCIA Engineer.
