Fruitful collaboration between LMS and CREM tackling energy piles

Meet us on the 17^th of June starting 3 P.M. for an event jointly organized with the Centre des Recherches Energétiques et Municipales (CREM), where the laboratory of soil mechanics (LMS) will get the chance to present a feedback of their mature experience concerning energy piles.

The soil mechanics laboratory, a world pioneer of energy geo-structures, has considerably contributed over the last twenty years to the development of this technique. Throughout all the years of research, the LMS team has not only provided vital answers to many problematics related to this technology, be it in the structural or geotechnical domains, but also actively contributed to its implementation. In 2018, Prof. Lyesse Laloui received funding from the BCV Foundation in order to further encourage the development of geo-structures and boost its technological transfer. It is in this context that the LMS is collaborating with the CREM in order to inform, share and guide the way of practitioners with energy geo-structures.
The event is thus the occasion to unveil this mature technology to the wide public, accompanied by a diverse panel of concrete examples realized all around Switzerland.
A visit of the energy prototype piles of the SwissTech Convention Center and of the laboratory is also scheduled for the afternoon.
