Eiffage Énergie carries out renovation work on the CNIT at La Défense

Appointed by Unibail-Rodamco, Eiffage Énergie Thermie Île-de-France's teams are currently renovating the utility tunnel at the CNIT (Centre for new industries and technologies) the first building to be built on the esplanade at La Défense just outside Paris. 

Unibail-Rodamco is the European leader in commercial property, specialized in shopping centre, office and congress/exhibition centre management. In the Paris region, the company owns the Quatre Temps shopping centre and neighbouring CNIT: 25,800 m² containing offices, a campus, around 30 prestigious brand names including a cinema, and a luxury hotel. 

This triangular building was built in 1958 as a congress centre, and has been restructured several times since (its current configuration dates from 2009). Today, the heating and air-conditioning units in the utility tunnel are to undergo renovation work. The project includes work on the piping system running through the tunnel, and also on the air ducts, air-handling units and smoke extraction ventilators. 

The works began on 8 February 2017 and are to be carried out in 4 staggered phases between 2017 and 2020, when the final stages will be completed.
