Art Fabricator Zurich: Bespoke Technical Fabrication and Installation

Since 1999, art project has been using its technical expertise to support complex projects. Our production center, based in France in a 21,500 sq ft art fabrication workshop, brings together a specialized design office and fabrication capabilities. Equipped with a 10-ton (22,000 lbs) overhead crane, we provide complete control of the entire chain: from structural engineering to cross-border logistics, right through to final installation as a leading art fabricator.

Art Fabrication: International Projects

Structural Engineering and Precision Logistics in Zurich

The installation of structures within Switzerland's economic capital requires rigorous planning in terms of access and loads. Zurich has specific road constraints, particularly in the financial center (Bahnhofstrasse) and the neighborhoods bordering the lake, where traffic is strictly regulated.

Compliance with security standards and local access management:

The technical deployment in Zurich requires compliance with SUVA standards and close coordination with municipal authorities to obtain crane permits. Our teams take into account the city's noise and time restrictions, while managing the logistical specifics of crossing customs (Carnet ATA formalities). We ensure precise installation, adapted to the density of Zurich's buildings, while minimizing the impact on public space.

Bespoke Art Fabrication and Flow Management to Zurich

Centralizing production at our French facility ensures fabrication standards and comprehensive quality control prior to export. This off-site production model allows us to meet the Swiss market's precision requirements.

Installation, dry run assembly protocol, and technical validation in the workshop:

Thanks to our 10-ton (22,000 lbs) lifting capacity, each project undergoes a full dry run assembly in the workshop. This technical step allows us to validate the perfect tolerance of the mechanical interfaces and the stability of the assembly before it is shipped to Switzerland. This process secures the final installation schedule by eliminating any need for structural adjustments at the destination.

Materials Science and Fine Art Fabrication in the Swiss Alps

The climate in Zurich, influenced by the proximity of the Alps and Lake Zurich, imposes strict technical requirements in terms of the strength and durability of structures.

Resistance to lake humidity and thermal loads:

Our design office calculates expansion gaps and selects surface treatments (anodizing, high-durability powder coating) capable of withstanding persistent humidity and freeze-thaw cycles. We also incorporate load calculation notes (snow and wind) that comply with local requirements for outdoor installations. This precision engineering guarantees the stability and aesthetic integrity of the components, whether they are installed in institutional interiors or in Zurich's public spaces.
