A new up-to-date technical unit is under construction at the University Hospital of La Meynard. It will include thirteen surgery rooms, an emergency and imaging center, a reanimation center, a medical biology center, and hospitalization units, plus a helipad on the roof and parking for 160 cars.
Presentation of the site:
It is an equilateral triangle (128.9*3), without either wind-bracing layer or expansion joint, for perfect hygiene control, and in full compliance with the most recent anti seismic standards, the first of its kind in the world.
The crawl space is mounted on 283 insulators and 36 dampers (for energy dissipation).
The cost of the building amounts to 169 million euros.
The total weight in steel is approximately 3,200 tons; the foundations represent 450 tons, the crawling space, 750 tons, and there are 6 levels.
Current workforce on site is 40 people, and 4 foremen who supervise: Jean-Michel Gagné (Project Manager), Pascal Guichard, David Prosper, and Stéphane Ramassamy (made available by ADG for the project).
The completion of the construction is scheduled for 2016.
