 | Technique Béton Accompanies French Institute for Sports into the FutureSupply of Customized Products for Modernisation of INSEP in Paris, FranceThe national institute for sports and high performance physical education in France (INSEP) has been educating the French sports elite since 1945. The institute is supervised by the ministry of education, cultural affairs and sports and combines high performance physical education with college education or vocational training for the 850 athletes currently residing at the institute.
The INSEP is located in the Vincennes forest, in Paris, on an area that totals 78,000m². Since the complex of buildings was built between 1945 and 1958, it is now unable to comply with current standards. That is why sports facilities, school buildings and residential buildings are being modernized and restructured on an area of 30,000m². In addition, a new 13,000m² sports center is under construction.
The public sector contributed to the construction project with 55 million Euros, while 60 million Euros were provided by a Public-Private- Partnership (PPP). Technique Béton also participated by supplying its high quality customized products to this important project.
Technique Béton supplied the high performance repair mortar Fibralchoc ® for window frames and door cases. This special one component mortar offers strong adhesion and high mechanical strength. The thixotropic material also offers excellent impact and abrasion resistance.
Biodem ® S was used as mould release agent. It is a non-polluting agent due to its biodegradability of over 60%. Technique Béton is proud to have supported the expansion of the INSEP and the repair works with specialist know-how. |
