Astron pre-engineered steel building- First Astron construction in Tahiti-Polynesia: a plant for incineration of hospital waste.

It is in the middle of this volcanic island posed on an emerald sea that has just been erected the first ASTRON in Polynesia: a plant for incineration of hospital waste.

Already two years prior to handing out the contract, a budget, a deadline and a project layout was decided upon. Due to their choice of steel and Astron these constraints were met despite rises in steel costs.
The preliminary project layout was modified in order to respect the technical specifications: a simple and linear building was proposed guaranteeing quality and speed of erection.

The incinerator area of the 330m² building with mezzanine has a 9,6 m eave height. Wall and roof systems consist of sheets of 35 microns PVDF coating to comply with the strict requirements of the zones exposed to the saline air.
 
This new incineration plant proposes a sustainable and environmentally friendly solution and meets the needs of the hospital waste processing in accordance with the effective regulation.

The customer was highly satisfied and stated: “We were congratulated for the building quality. It is really superb from the outside as well as from inside”.
