Art Fabricator Abu Dhabi: Bespoke Engineering and Installation

The art project workshop is a major technical hub dedicated to bringing large-scale international projects to life. Since 1999, our 21,500 sq ft French production unit has been precision-processing materials such as metal, wood, neon, technical glass, and composites. Equipped with a 10-ton overhead crane, we oversee every phase, from structural engineering to final on-site assembly, ensuring that each work of art benefits from industrial rigor that has been proven over more than a quarter of a century.

Art Fabrication: International Projects

Bespoke Art Fabrication Challenges in the Abu Dhabi Cultural Hub

Theinstallation of these artworks to Abu Dhabi, particularly on Saadiyat Island or in the developing areas of the Cultural District, requires highly precise logistical coordination. Access restrictions to museum and institutional sites necessitate rigorous planning to comply with security protocols and preserve the integrity of existing infrastructure.

Logistics coordination, on-site operations, and crane permits on Saadiyat Island:

The deployment of these works of art requires specific authorizations from the Department of Municipalities and Transport (DMT). We anticipate ground load constraints for lifting equipment and manage logistics flows to ensure safe installation. Each step is calculated to minimize the impact on the urban environment and landscape, while ensuring the structural stability of the monumental pieces.

Fine Art Fabrication in France and UAE Export Logistics

The centralization of fabrication in France allows for strict quality control throughout the value chain prior to export. This industrial model secures the production of complex components before they are shipped to the Gulf.

Protocol for dry assembly and use of the 10-ton (22,000 lbs) overhead crane:

In order to prevent any technical issues during installation in Abu Dhabi, we systematically carry out a full dry run assembly of each work of art in our 21,500 sq ft workshop. The use of our 10-ton (22,000 lbs) overhead crane allows us to validate the mechanical strength and adjustment tolerances. This technical step is essential to ensure quick and precise installation once the elements have been delivered to the site, after rigorously controlled sea or air transport.

Fine Art Fabrication Resilience in the Abu Dhabi Climate

The art project design office incorporates Abu Dhabi's critical environmental parameters, such as extreme heat, salt humidity, and sandstorms, right from the design phase.

Control of thermal expansion and corrosion protection:

The durability of these works of art depends on the careful selection of materials, particularly stainless steel and high-performance surface treatments. We calculate the expansion joints needed to absorb the desert's temperature variations and apply UV-resistant coatings to preserve the finishes. This cutting-edge engineering ensures optimal preservation of the artworks, whether they are displayed indoors in air-conditioned environments or in outdoor public spaces exposed to salt spray.
