| Abstract: |
With a total height of 55m, the Hyperion residential Tower is located near the Saint Jean train Station in Bordeaux France and was designed by the engineering firm Terrell in association with the architectural practice Jean-Paul Viguier & Associates. The structure is braced with a reinforced concrete core, made of cross laminated timber floors, laminated timber beams along the periphery of the building, wood frame walls on the façades, and prefabricated steel balconies placed in situ with cranes. Detailed design of the composite tower was carried out by engineering firm Setec Tpi, through a large use of BIM software’s (Revit and Tekla) from which shop drawings were generated. The main contractor Eiffage had to face many challenges during construction to erect what is now the tallest wooden tower in France. |
