Eiffage Construction, a division of European construction company Eiffage, has completed the delivery of three production halls for Airbus Atlantic in Rochefort, France.

The halls, part of a design-build contract awarded in April 2023, are expected to accelerate the aircraft manufacturer's production and create 200 jobs in the region.

Eiffage Construction claims the project necessitated meeting tight deadlines, delivering the halls in time while adhering to stringent technical and environmental standards.

The two 2,441m² storage spaces, Hall 1 and 2, and the 1,920m² Hall 3 each have distinguishing features.

The structure of Halls 1 and 2 incorporates a steel frame, acoustic cladding, and a double-layer roof, designed to meet the demands of a high-performance logistics facility.

Hall 3, a production workshop, features a hybrid concrete and wood structure, complemented by finishes matching those of the first two halls.

A 575m² building situated between Halls 2 and 3 provides essential social areas, including offices and toilet facilities.

The project's energy efficiency measures boast a 20% reduction in energy consumption compared to RT2012 thermal regulations and compliance with the latest RE2020 standards for office spaces.

Eiffage Construction has also implemented an optimised rainwater management system, which includes underground tanks designed to collect runoff from fires, roofs, and parking areas.

ARTELIA acted as the client representative for the project.

The project team included BPG as the lead architect and ILAO as the mechanical, electrical, and plumbing engineer. Eiffage Route managed roadworks and utilities, with KELLER handling rigid inclusions, and FRANKI Fondation in charge of piling.

Earlier this month, Eiffage, through its subsidiary Eiffage Construcción, in partnership with Acciona, won a contract to design and construct a new urban circuit in Madrid, Spain, which will potentially host Formula 1 races.
