PORT OF GENEVA - EAST WING - Airport Terminal

The East Wing project aims to improve passenger service on intercontinental flights by meeting current standards.

It replaces the current heavy goods pavilion, built as a temporary solution in 1975 and now obsolete, with a high-performance energy-efficient building.

Project owner

: GENEVA AEROPORT

Project management consortium

rSHP Architectes - Atelier d'Architecture Jacques BUGNA - INGEROP Conseil et Ingénierie - T-Ingénierie Façades: ARCORA

Challenges to meet

Project monitoring and communication by the same teams from the different companies, from design to execution, enabled us to resolve the various problems encountered.

The teams were made up of T-INGENIERIE and INGEROP for structure and networks, and RSHP and BUGNA for architecture.

The benefits of BIM

BIM has made it easy to define and communicate information on all the elements making up the project, and to facilitate coordination.

The structural model produced on Tekla Structures enabled good design coordination with the architects and the networks, as communication with the other software packages went off without a hitch.

The project in figures

  • Steel tonnage: 10,000 tonnes

  • Dimensions: length 520 metres, width 20 metres, height 19 metres

  • Total cost: CHF 370 million
