Project description
Located to the west of the Saint-Denis rail line, at the intersection of Rue Pleyel and Rue Francisque-Poulbot, Saint-Denis Pleyel station plays a key role in the Grand Paris Express project.
It is the transfer point for lines 14, 15, 16 and 17, and also provides a connection to RER line D via the Pleyel urban crossing.
In addition, line 13 of the metro is accessible from the public area, around 250 meters from the station.
With a daily passenger flow of 250,000, this station is considered the nerve center of the Grand Paris Express.
Challenges to meet
The construction project used a single calculation model for the steel structure and concrete, focusing on a network of beams connected by studs to the slabs and supported by corbels or passing through concrete verticals.
The system features numerous singular points and complex nodes, which were modeled in Tekla Structures and calculated with Idea Statica.
Pre-seals and pegs were installed in correlation with the reinforcing bars, and sleeves were incorporated to allow concrete columns to start on the steel beams.
The steel structure was perfectly modeled in Tekla Structures, with ductwork, suspended ceilings, skylights and escalators seamlessly integrated into the concrete model. In addition, Trimble Connect AR was used to control the 2m-high PRS.
