Project description

Grab rails at the new Princess Grace Hospital in Monaco.

The project had several uses:

  • Temporary shoring for the formwork of the hospital's lower slab.

  • Straddling a busy road that is not closed during work

  • Protective decking so you can work above it without worrying about dropping anything on cars or passers-by

  • Suspended formwork for a facet slab

Challenges to meet

We have several challenges to meet:

  • Build on what already exists and position our structure on it without obstructing the road.

  • Pay attention to truck gauges, but also to the hospital emergency exit.

  • As the site is in the heart of the city and there isn't much room, we had to split the structure into several packages/trucks to minimize on-site storage (links with assembly).

  • Deadlines were tight, and thanks to Tekla Model Sharing we were able to work together on the model to be as efficient as possible.

Bim was a great help in working with our customer to avoid as many clashes as possible (very complex structure).
