We built wooden buildings for the 2024 Athletes’ Village in the Saint-Denis eco-neighbourhood on the banks of the Seine. The PE4 project is an R+7 building on which 149 timber-frame façade modules were assembled, prefabricated in the workshop at the Rosny-sur-Seine plant in the Île-de-France region. The building will house the athletes during the competitions of the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris. It will then be converted into a hotel. The developer Pichet-Legendre has been commissioned to develop the eco-neighbourhood by the river in L’Ile-Saint-Denis. This project aims to leave a sustainable footprint on the island and transform the area into a new residential neighbourhood after the Paris 2024 Games.
‘This first experience with inland shipping was very rewarding! The deliveries from our factory, which is located near the Seine, allowed us to understand inland waterway transport and appreciate its strengths and challenges. This mode of transport, which requires careful organisation in advance, opens the doors to deliveries with a lower carbon footprint and without the constraints of road transport.’
Laura Frechard
For this major construction site, 2,345 m² of timber frame façades (FOB) were assembled in Rosny-sur-Seine and transported by water to the construction site of the Athletes’ Village. The logistics were fully coordinated by Rubner and involved a volume of 410 m³, which corresponds to 149 elements with a width of 3 metres and a length of 7 to 12 metres. This teamwork demonstrates our ability to adapt and find ingenious solutions. The Rubner plant, located 12 kilometres from the Seine, is ideally placed to take advantage of this mode of transport by water, which is becoming increasingly popular in the Paris region due to its lower CO2 emissions than road transport. This double success – meeting deadlines and logistical innovation with inland waterway transport – testifies to our determination to go further and further to offer the best to our customers and partners.
The project was handed over in January 2024
