DWH meets its target

DWH meets its target!

At the beginning of September, DWH received official certification of the energy management system. Following the start-up of the system on 1st July 2013, DWH then spent the next few months creating the necessary conditions for successful certification.

At the end of April 2014, the auditors of “TÜV SÜD” visited DWH, at Trier and Horath, to check progress on the energy management system. ISO 50001 certification was awarded following this audit.

The 3rd Abidjan Bridge

The 3rd Abidjan Bridge

Sotralentz Construction has supplied 200 tonnes of galvanized steel for the construction of the “3rd Abidjan bridge” project – the  Henri Konan Bédié bridge. This bridge forms part of a 6.7 km third lagoon crossing between Riviera and Marcory, which is mainly intended to ease congestion on the existing Charles de Gaulle and Houphouët-Boigny bridges.

Reinforcement cages for the new Karlsruhe metro tunnel

SOTRALENTZ Construction delivers reinforcement cages for the new Karlsruhe metro tunnel

SOTRALENTZ Construction is currently delivering welded wire mesh reinforcement cages for the new metro tunnel in Karlsruhe.

Based in Alsace, SOTRALENTZ Construction manufactures welded wire mesh. The firm has previously delivered reinforcement cages for other tunnels in France and elsewhere in Europe:

– Tramway NICE
– Métro  Rennes
– Tunnel  A41
– Tunnel BURE
– LGV Est high-speed line, Saverne
– Motorway tunnels: A86, Paris; A41, Annecy
– Tunnels in Kinding (Germany), Uetliberg (Switzerland), Liefkenshoek (Belgium), Salazie (Reunion Island)

Like other cities in Germany before it, in 2010 Karlsruhe embarked on a major city-centre redevelopment project. Adopted by the city council in 2002, the project is due to be completed in 2019 with the commissioning of the last three underground stations on Kriegsstraße. A key component of this redevelopment project is the transformation of the S-Bahn tram-train network, currently a mostly above-ground system, into a semi-metro, with the construction of underground lines and stations – a hybrid solution known as a Kombilösung.

Avalanche barrier in Iceland

Delivery of welded wire mesh for an avalanche barrier in Iceland

SOTRALENTZ Construction manufactures special, made-to-measure welded wire mesh. In July 2012, it delivered 140 tonnes of special mesh for an avalanche barrier to Neskaupstadur, Iceland. The wall is an addition to an existing dike (see photo). The second phase of the project is currently under construction.

For both flat and shaped panels, our expertise in rebar means we can provide the right technical, industrial and economic solutions for the design and assembly of rebar cages, based on the use of special welded wire mesh.

SOTRALENTZ Construction technicians and engineers in France and Germany can conduct design studies on your behalf, providing the right technical, industrial and economic solutions for all your rebar projects.

Saverne tunnel

Drilling work on the Saverne tunnel completed

Drilling work on the second tube of the Saverne TGV rail tunnel was completed on 25 February 2013.

Three Sotralentz Group subsidiaries worked on the project, through the manufacturing of the tunnel-boring machine’s shield on the premises of Sotralentz Métal Industries, the manufacturing of 700 tonnes of reinforcement cages (segmental linings) at Sotralentz Construction and the supply of Actibloc wastewater treatment plants for three construction site facility centres, including the one at Ernolsheim-Lès-Saverne, at which an Actibloc 100 PE (population equivalent) system made up of two double-skin tanks (i.e. a settling tank and a clarification tank), each with a volume of 35 cubic metres, were used.

Conical coils

Conical coils : for an easier unwinding

The SOTRALENTZ “Value addition”:

Due to their conical shape, these coils are easy to unwind on the frame clamps or the cutting tables, by reducing the risks of forming “knots”: a renowned quality on use by the reinforcing steel erectors.
