PROJECT
CHALLENGES
Musée des Confluences - Lyon, France:
The project involved the assembly of one of the most ambitious steel structures, with 350,000 bolts and pieces weighing up to 33 tons. Precise planning and coordination were critical due to the large-scale cantilevered design and the integration of steel and concrete elements in the building's framework.
ADVANTAGES
The use of bocad software allowed for precise modeling and management of the complex steel structure known as "Le Nuage." This structure, made up of 650,000 steel pieces, required highly detailed planning and execution. The bocad software enabled accurate integration of the 7 longitudinal and 7 transversal sails, ensuring the stability and successful assembly of the 6,600-ton steel framework.
