Tour Triangle

Le premier gratte-ciel parisien du 21ème siècle

D’une hauteur de 180 mètres, la Tour Triangle a été conçue afin d’être conforme aux certifications environnementales BREEAM Excellent (au minimum) et HQE Exceptionnel, de même qu’au label Effinergie. Les solutions mises en place comprennent des systèmes de géothermie, de réseau de chaleur urbain et de récupération d’énergie et de chaleur, de même qu’une façade bioclimatique et 1.000 m² de panneaux photovoltaïques.

Triangle

Unibail-Rodamco-Westfield (URW) has awarded BESIX the construction of the Triangle in Paris, designed by the architects Herzog & De Meuron, winners of the prestigious Pritzker Prize. The Triangle will include office space, a conference centre, but also a health centre, a cultural centre, a crèche, a hotel and a restaurant. The building's carbon footprint will be controlled, in particular through the use of low-carbon materials, including a minimum of 50% concrete with reduced CO2 emissions, and recycled materials, in particular for the aluminium facades.

Engineering & Construction

The planning, logistics and construction methods have been developed by BESIX Engineering, the in-house design office of BESIX, in order to optimally reduce the impact on local mobility, the neighbourhood and the operation of the Parc des Expositions. BESIX Engineering will also carry out the execution studies for the structure and will provide support for those dedicated to the façade. The tower, which will generate 5,000 direct and indirect jobs, will be completed in 2026. BESIX will work closely with the project management team appointed by URW: the engineering firms Setec and Egis, respectively in charge of the design studies for the structure and fluids, and Artelia as the execution project manager.
