Charles de Gaulle airport
The biggest international French airport builds the 2E Terminal. A billion euro project that will not escape your notice because of its complex-shaped roofs. Today, this new terminal is partially open and will be able to cater for high-capacity aircrafts, especially the future A380 Airbus (a huge plane with a 79 m wingspan that can take over 550 passengers). Once it is open, the 2F will be entirely used for the "Espace Schengen".
The 2E Terminal comprises three main parts : |
Arcelor, Ugine and ARVAL, are privileged partners along with UTB (Union Technique du Bâtiment - see below) in this exceptional project. A modern and efficient building process that is flexible, thereby adapting to the architectural lines of the building and resistant thus meeting the Site requirements on a permanent basis. The most important aspect of the Atex procedure used for the roofing project of the 2E terminal is the complex that covers the centre dome and the isthmus. The warm roofing comprises a ARVAL Hacierco C 50 S steel deck, insulation made of 70 mm foam glass panels made by FOAMGLASS bonded to the EAC, plates notched and galvanised Z350, a 180-40 POLYDAN bitumen membrane made by DANOSA, 300 g/m² geotextile forming a separator screen and the 18.9E UGITOP stainless steel top envelope, 0,5 mm thick, made by UGINE.

This kind of warm roofing has no mechanical through fixing and thereby perfectly meets the requirements of high humidity premises. |
A few figures :
Commencement of the site : January 2000. Delivery scheduled : Mid 2003
Terminal 2E (for which ADP has scheduled partial service this summer) will have an extra capacity of close to 10 million passengers per year, that can be increased by adding on satellites.
This worksite represents :
210 Tons of Ugine stainless steel,
280 Tons of ARVAL decking,
3 000 m³ of Foamglass insulation,
200 000 anchor plates,
700 000 fasteners,
100 Tons of bitumen,
30 Tons of metal bending,
150 Tons of weatherproofing,
4 km of gutters.

The Building Technical Union (BTU)
The BTU is the first S.C.O.P in France, with diverse and varied technical departments. A specialist in roofing work, using all kinds of material : zinc, copper, stainless steel, slate, tiles and steel profiles..They took part in large worksites like the Utopia Pavilion at the world fair in Lisbon in 1998 (25 000 m² of zinc roofing) and Disneyland Paris (25 000 m² of stainless steel flashing over a steel roof and 4 500 m² of zinc roofing).
