SKYTECH PRO : Renovation of General Electric VOLTA building
SKYTECH PRO : Renovation of General Electric VOLTA building
Company : IRISSE
Installation type : external wall cladding
Number of m² installed : 700 m²
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The GENERAL ELECTRIC HEALTHCARE site in BUC (Paris Metropolitan Area) houses 8 buildings of workshops and offices.
Involved in the energy transition, the BUC site wanted to change the joinery on the facade of the VOLTA building. During this project, the whole metal cladding had to be opened for quotation purposes. IRISSE then noticed that there was no insulation and no air-tightness. Opening the whole facade to simply change the joinery had no sense : the facade also had to be insulated and its air-tightness strengthened.
The project manager suggested SKYTECH PRO as a means to provide a fast and efficient solution. By reusing the existing cladding, this solution combines both money savings and sustainable development. Concerned about the employees safety, the project manager also needed a non-combustible product to avoid the spread of flames and to facilitate rescue operations in the event of a fire.
THE PROJECT’S PARTICULAR POINTS
SKYTECH PRO installation – reassembly of the existing cladding – installation of new openings
Continuity of the insulation to the top of the building for a perfect tightness
Continuous insulation up to the embrasures and corners
Storage of the cladding on the scaffold and reassembly
