This project was realized by company SRTP, managed by Antoine Puchulu, an Astron builder since 1998. This project, previously conceived in concrete, was turned into a steel structure on the advice of the builder SRTP. Contracts were signed after a visit of the Astron factory in Luxembourg. The school directors were convinced by the technical competence and architectural advantages of Astron MSB as this process allowed respecting the budgetary constraints and shortened the construction period in a considerable way The company SRTP got the authorization to start the construction of this 3.000 m2 edifice in autumn. Mr Talopp, the school’s chairman was impressed about the speed of the erection of the primary framing which could be completed over the winter. The choice of a steel structure and prefabricated hollow core concrete elements, allowed a minimal erection period, which was an important consideration for the respect of the lead time in spite of climatic conditions and the tightness of the site in the citycentre. The usage of integrated floor beams (Inodek-system) not only facilitated fire protection (by intumescing paint) but also allowed to leave the steel structure visible emphasizing the school’s spirit: a rough industrial look. Guaranteed quality and speed - wherever it is built Astron’s presence throughout Western and Eastern Europe offers investors the benefits of working with one company for multiple construction projects in different countries.
