Three projects with a total surface area of 300 m², including an assembly line and a laboratory, have been completed for ELOGEN, a specialist in electrolyzers producing green hydrogen.
Construction of 300 m² within an existing building
ELOGEN is the French leader in PEM (proton exchange membrane) electrolysis. The company designs and assembles electrolyzers enabling the production of green hydrogen from water, thanks to the effect of direct current. Cutting-edge technology for the industrial and energy markets, in France and abroad.
For this rapidly developing activity, VÊPRES has completed three projects in two years, with a total surface area of 300 m². The complex includes an assembly line, as well as an isolated and confined area on the fringes of the assembly activity: a laboratory
Project constraints and specifics
As the original building had not been designed to accommodate an additional load, the 300 m² of space required the construction of a self-supporting structure. The construction of this room was carried out in a restrictive environment, equipped with an overhead crane and a jib crane, both bulky pieces of equipment located very close to the ceiling.
The project was also carried out in a very short space of time, in an area that had remained in use - more demanding conditions in terms of flexibility and coordination. Finally, an existing plant was dismantled and relocated to one of the new rooms. This transfer minimized the industrial investment for ELOGEN.

Mastering a restrictive environment
To support ELOGEN's growth, VÊPRES has completed three projects in two years, totalling 300 m². These projects include an assembly line and an isolated laboratory area. A free-standing structure was built because the original building could not support any additional load. The construction was carried out in a restrictive environment with bulky equipment near the ceiling.
