“It was a great challenge to integrate this new screen on an existing structure within tight deadlines while ensuring the safety of working at a height “, explained Alexandre Pecqueux, the Solotech project manager. The deliverables were met notably through preventive equipment evaluation: “Solotech has the advantage of having a very large workshop and this enabled us to carry out the preparation in our offices, and limit risks and interventions on the installation site”, continues Mr. Pecqueux.
For his part, Mr. Maurice Landry, Vice President of Construction and Maintenance at the Olympic Park was satisfied of the result: “We are satisfied with the work done by Solotech. All of the work was carried out according to our quality requirements and deadlines.
