Biopôle, an eight-hectare science park designed to house companies active in the life sciences sector, provides facilities for industrial, research and development or administrative use. The construction of the first building on the Épalinges campus was led by Losinger-Marazzi taking into account the strict standards applied by Bouygues, a French industrial group.
The scaffolding selected was lightweight (200 kg/m2) and included 30 cm safety brackets. Double scaffolding, completed with a platform under the ceiling slabs was required to handle the huge cantilever located at the north gable.
Finally, in conjunction with the engineers, the dimensions for the shoring were carefully calculated for the attachment of the balcony slab in east facade.
