Luxembourg City's council visit of the Ban de Gasperich public park

English

On Tuesday May 10th, the Luxembourg City's council, represented by Lydie Polfer, mayor, Serge Wilmes, first alderman, and Simone Beissel, alderman, invited the press to visit the Ban de Gasperich public park. The city representants presented the progress of the work done by Felix Giorgetti and its landscape concept. "There is still a lot of work to be done, but we can see what the park will look like," explained the mayor.
Opening in spring 2023
The project takes place in the Ban de Gasperich, a rapidly growing neighborhood that is experiencing considerable population growth and an increase in the working population on the site. The Ban de Gasperich public park aims to create a recreation and leisure area for its residents, students and workers.
"This 16.6 hectare park, which will be the largest in the capital, is a real added value for the city, for the Cloche d'Or district and its inhabitants. It's a beautiful urban planning project," added Serge Wilmes before walking along the paths that are still under construction and that visitors will be able to walk on in a year.

<a title="" href="luxembourg-avenue-de-la-gare" target="_self">As a reminder, this mixed-use project will consist of 2,300 m2 of offices and 876 m2 of shops on the first floor.</a> Its realization required major preparatory works including the demolition of the existing buildings and the earthwork of the ground composed of very hard rock of category 7. An important stabilization system was put in place in order to protect the surrounding buildings and the historical facade.

Important preparatory work

<h3>Conjugate past and future</h3>
The historical facade, which has been preserved, is the real architectural signature of the project and will be restored after the collective summer vacations. This mission is carried out in collaboration with the architect of the Service des sites et monuments nationaux.
<blockquote>
In total, 370m2 of the facade will be given a second life and will be enhanced by the rest of the facade, which will be clad in light-colored natural stone.
</blockquote>
<h3>A traversing crane</h3>
The tower crane that was used for the structural work is still on site and is traversing the-1 and the ground floors. It will be removed in July and the slabs will then be closed.
Predicted end: spring 2023.

The participants praised the approach and its content, while giving suggestions for improvement and even for future editions. This first Health and Safety at Work week will not be the last!

The positive feedback collected during a satisfaction survey conducted at the end of the training is very satisfactory and reinforces our company in this approach.

Positive feedbacks

In the vast majority of cases, these are minor accidents that could have been avoided and that have repercussions on several levels. First of all, for the injured person, who will suffer the physical and psychological consequences of his or her accident in the more or less long term. For the teams as well, who will have to make up for the absence of a colleague. For the company, this has a significant impact in terms of productivity and costs. In 2021, 1,500 working days were lost.
<h3>6 workshops</h3>
For this first edition, six thematic workshops were addressed in a theoretical and practical way:
<ul>
<li>Slinging: the choice of slings and accessories according to the load, the environment and the equipment available, judging the condition of slings and accessories, setting up accessories to carry out specific slings and reminding of good practices;</li>
<li>Fires: reminder of the different types of extinguishers and how to use them;</li>
<li>Escalib: assembly, stabilization, reception and dismantling of a metal spiral staircase of the Escalib type in order to move easily and safely;</li>
<li>The 5S method: a workshop led by one of our Lean manager from our Lean &amp; Methods Department, which aimed to show and apply this practice of optimizing the conditions and the work environment by ensuring that it remains tidy, clean and secure with rigor;</li>
<li>PPE: presentation and demonstration of the different types of Personal Protective Equipment to be worn according to the risks encountered.</li>
<li>Sateco panels: installation and stabilization of a Sateco panel according to the manufacturer's recommendations and demonstration of the risks involved in falling from a panel.</li>
</ul>
<blockquote>
With this first Health and Safety week, Felix Giorgetti wanted to increase its employees' awareness of this essential theme in our sector.
</blockquote>
To ensure everybody's safety on our sites, it is not only a question of providing adequate equipment and using quality and well-maintained material, but also of training people in their proper use. Especially since our business has changed a lot since the beginning of the company and is constantly evolving. It is also necessary for everyone to be aware of the issues related to this topic, in particular the role they have to play to ensure their own safety, of their colleagues and of all those involved.

As a reminder, 80 accidents were recorded in 2021, 34 of which were due to a lack of attention, 16 due to falls from a height and on the same level, and 15 due to manual handling.

Fire workshop during the Health and Safety at Work Week 2022

In total, more than 350 employees took part in this training program, including workers, supervisors and employees from the head office. Each day, 80 people divided into six teams took part in six workshops led by IFSB trainers and F&eacute;lix Giorgetti. Before going to the different workshops, the teams were first given a briefing by IFSB and F&eacute;lix Giorgetti, who explained the day's activities and the reason for its organization.

Safety is a priority theme at Felix Giorgetti. This is why the company organized its first Occupational Health and Safety week. A training action that took place on the premises and with the collaboration of the IFSB from April 4 to 8.

une-pc-490-aux-couleurs-de-giorgetti

Felix Giorgetti has two real PC 490s, one of which is being used on the Raemerich bypass in the south of the country. With its almost 50 tons, 3.6m height, 11m length and 367 horsepower, it combines power, precision and efficiency. With a single shovelful, the machine can carry up to 3.5 tons of soil.
An ideal ally for large-scale earthworks. In Raemerich, for example, 400,000m&sup3; of material will be excavated to build the new 1.7km section connecting Esch-sur-Alzette to Audun-le-Tiche. This is also where the two models met... &nbsp;

50 tons of power and precision

"The base of the machine is made of steel and weighs 15 kg on its own to ensure stability during maneuvers. The cylinders are made of brass, the track - custom-made in Germany - is made of stainless steel, as are the valves. Some parts are made of plastic and others were 3D printed. For the paint, I found the reference of Giorgetti yellow and blue, and I asked Paul and Marc Giorgetti for their permission to use the logo," he says.
In addition, there are four electric motors, two for the tracks, one for the block rotation and one for the hydraulic pump. "The cylinders have been tested to 40 bar. The excavator works like a real one except it doesn't make any noise!"

"It works like the real one"

The mini PC490 and the original model on the Raemerich bypass construction site

David Odendahl paid a nice tribute to Felix Giorgetti by reproducing a 1/14th scale Komatsu PC 490 hydraulic excavator in our company's colors. A model of 20 kilos all the same...&nbsp;
David Odendahl, almost 40 years old, from Luxembourg, has been passionate about model making since he was very young. Since I was 11 years old," he says. I've made cars, trucks... and now excavators." For this industrial operator's other passion is construction equipment, hydraulic excavators in particular. "It would have been my dream to be able to work for a company like Felix Giorgetti!"
The enthusiast then combined his two passions by building replica excavator models. A friend who runs the "Construction Equipment Luxembourg" page on Facebook posted a photo of a PC 490 in the colors of F&eacute;lix Giorgetti. I thought to myself, 'That's original! It's a model that is not very well represented in model making". So the challenge was there. At the Bauma in Munich in 2019, the world's largest construction trade fair, he ordered a Komatsu 499-11 model and fitted it with a demolition arm. Then he went to one of our construction sites to take inspiration from the real model and photograph it from every angle. Two years of meticulous assembly followed in his spare time.

The scale of the site is such that it has been divided into four zones. In total, up to 85 people, workers and supervisors, work in this huge hive where the complex is gradually emerging from the ground. "&thinsp;In the park house area, we are finishing level +2, presents our project manager project manager. The elevations of the hotel walls have also begun &raquo;, explains our project manager.
Regarding the construction itself, the main building and the offices consist of a metal frame with floors in collaborating steel trays, the exterior elevations are in reinforced concrete poured on site and double walls inside. For offices, the concrete slab will be smoothed and left rough.
The seven-storey, 40m high hotel will be made up of prefabricated sandwich panels measuring 8.10 x 3.05m and weighing up to 12 tons for the heaviest. These are concrete walls that include both insulation and finishing. These structural elements thus save significant time.
"In general, we proceed in phases. For example, we go up three levels, then we fix the metal frame. It is made up of posts of 15 to 18m. Then we lay the steel decks and concrete one level after another. It's more efficient to do it this way," he explains .
At the entrance to the site, major connection work to the external networks (rainwater and waste water) was also carried out. The teams dug underground to pass under the road on Rue des Trois Cantons. A 10m long trench was dug to install a machine that allows pipes to be laid five and seven meters deep.

Divided in four zones

Global view of Wickrange working site

It's hard to miss the huge construction site that borders the A4 motorway near Wickrange. It is there, a few minutes from the capital and close to the borders, on the Route des Trois Cantons, that F&eacute;lix Giorgetti is building a new activity center. A project of more than 90,000m&sup2; gross built on a site of 3.3ha. It is a complex consisting of a commercial area and a future housing estate developed and built by F&eacute;lix Giorgetti.
The starting signal was given in January 2020, when the intense and vast earthworks task began. A few months and some 260,000 m&sup3; of rubble evacuated later, the structural work was able to begin. Excavators and dumpers gave way to concrete mixers, formwork panels, and above all to 9 Skyliners cranes: six tower cranes, two mobile cranes and a crawler crane. Proof, if needed, of the size of the site.
Without revealing the concept &ndash; which will soon be presented at a press conference &ndash; this new center will bring together many activities that will contribute to its attractiveness to different audiences:
<ul>
<li>Artisanal and commercial &thinsp;;</li>
<li>Desks &nbsp;;</li>
<li>Hotel ;</li>
<li>A large capacity park house.</li>
</ul>
&nbsp;

In Wickrange, route des Trois Cantons, Félix Giorgetti is building a large-scale project in partnership with Kuhn Construction. A mixed-use project of approximately 90,000 m² which extends over more than 3 ha. Visit.

Giorun 2022

This year again, the event will offer two formats: a first route of 5,5 km and a second one of 10 km starting from an unusual place, our logistics center in Leudelange. The routes will take the athletes through the forest and across the fields. Something to please all runners, beginners or experienced. An adapted and supervised walk will also be proposed to those who wish to do so on the small course with a departure that will take place after the race.
At the finish line, prizes will be awarded to the first three in each category for women and men. A catering service will be available on site to help you regain your strength and spend a nice moment of conviviality. All of this will be done with music and with the joy of meeting again after these two years of health crisis.
Sport and solidarity
The Giorun is a sports event, but also a charity event. By organizing this event, the Giofriends also wish to support the actions of local associations. This is why they have chosen to donate the profits of the Giorun to the Parkinson Center "La Tulipe" located in Leudelange and to the association Alan which helps people suffering from rare diseases in Luxembourg by offering them recreational and sports activities. The Giofriends also call upon Dono for the recycling of our advertising tarpaulins, which employs people who are far from the world of work.
Thanks to the Giorun 2019, 24,450 euros were donated to these associations.

The Giofriends are back and are organizing the 3rd edition of the Giorun on the June 17th. Registration is now open!
