By GlobalDataVinci’s teams will employ a Building Information Modelling (BIM) system for construction design to execute and enable interaction with the other trades.
Works on the new building are anticipated to complete by 2025.
To reduce noise pollution during the earth-moving and earth-retaining activities, a dome will be erected.
It will have 70 37m-long cables supporting 2,800m2 of sound-absorbing sheets to lower noise by up to 12 decibels from the construction works.
Furthermore, the project is part of Vinci’s plan to mainstream the usage of Exegy low-carbon concrete.
Low-carbon concrete will account for 85% of the concrete used on the construction site resulting in a 30% decline in greenhouse gas emissions.
The bioclimatic design of the envelope will offer thermal comfort in the building and is intended at gaining NF HQE Très Performant certification.
The complete structure will have concrete rippling sun breakers to offer patients with numerous openings to let in natural light.
In addition, majority of rooms in the hospital will have a sea view.
