Structural challenges and establishment at high altitude in the Andes
The installation of complex structures in Bogota requires a rigorous analysis of the geological and logistical constraints specific to the Andes mountain range. Located at an altitude of 2,640 meters in an area of seismic activity, the city requires particularly demanding stability engineering.
On-site intervention and seismic constraint management:
Assembly and technical supervision are provided by art project teams, who are working on site now and will continue to do so in the future. This specialized presence is crucial for coordinating crane permits in densely populated neighborhoods such as Chapinero and the historic center. Our teams manage anchoring systems that comply with local earthquake-resistant standards, ensuring the safe installation of your artwork despite the topographical challenges of the Colombian capital.
French manufacturing and securing the transatlantic supply chain
The manufacture of works of art at our production facility in France guarantees absolute compliance with industrial quality standards prior to any international shipment to South America.
Validation by dry assembly under a 10-ton bridge:
In order to ensure the final installation is secure, we systematically carry out a full dry run assembly of each unit in our workshop. Our 10-ton overhead crane allows us to test the mechanical strength and precision of the interfaces. This protocol eliminates any risk of structural adjustments upon delivery in Bogota and allows us to organize perfectly monitored multimodal transport—by sea and then overland through the Andes.
Materials engineering in the face of humidity and equatorial radiation
The art project design office incorporates local environmental parameters, characterized by high humidity and intense UV radiation due to the equatorial altitude, right from the design phase.
Thermal protection and durability of technical finishes:
The durability of the structures is ensured by a selection of high-performance alloys and surface treatments. We apply technical coatings and UV-resistant varnishes to prevent the deterioration of materials exposed to the rapid climatic variations of the Bogota savannah. This expertise ensures that works of art retain their structural and aesthetic integrity, whether they are exhibited in cultural institutions or in public spaces.
