Manufacture and installation of artworks in Abu Dhabi
Global achievements
Deployment challenges within Abu Dhabi's cultural hub
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.
French engineering and securing flows to the Emirates
The centralization of artwork manufacturing 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 bridge:
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 2,000 m² workshop. The use of our 10-ton 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.
Resilience of works of art in the coastal and Saharan 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.
