French engineering and securing transit to the European crossroads of the arts
Centralizing production at our 2,000 m² French facility allows us to guarantee consistent quality and rigorous quality control of finishes prior to export.
Pre-assembly protocol and quality control in the workshop:
Thanks to our 10-ton lifting capacity, we systematically carry out a complete dry run assembly of each unit. This technical step allows us to validate the assembly tolerances and mechanical stability of the structures before they are shipped to Basel. This off-site process secures the final installation schedule by eliminating any structural adjustments at the destination, thus ensuring a quick and compliant installation.
Flow management and assembly constraints in the Basel cross-border environment
Setting up facilities in the city on the Rhine requires rigorous logistical planning. Basel, located at the intersection of three countries, has unique road conditions, particularly in the historic center and near international exhibition centers such as Messe Basel.
Regulations governing lifting and logistics in urban areas in Switzerland:
The technical deployment in Basel requires strict compliance with SUVA safety standards and close coordination with municipal services for the use of public land. Our teams anticipate tonnage restrictions for access via the Rhine bridges and manage crane permits in dense urban areas. We also integrate customs protocols (ATA Carnet) to ensure the smooth passage of precision components across the Swiss border.
Material resilience and structural stability in the Rhine context
The climate in Basel, characterized by variable humidity due to its proximity to the Rhine and windy conditions (Bise), directly influencesthe engineering of the materials selected by our design office.
Moisture resistance and thermal load calculations:
We favor alloys and surface treatments (powder coating, anodizing) that are suited to the climatic conditions of Central Europe. Our engineers calculate the expansion coefficients for multi-material interfaces and wind resistance calculation notes for exposed structures. This preventive approach ensures the structural durability of our projects, whether they are intended for public spaces or institutional interiors in Switzerland's cultural capital.
