Spectacular projects and unusual challenges have always been one of NFIC’s specialities. And if there’s one place where some of the world’s most breathtaking buildings can be found today, it’s the city of Shanghai.
In order to admire these buildings in person, but also and especially to strengthen team spirit, all the NFIC employees decided to fly to the Chinese megalopolis in October 2018.
For three days, they travelled around the city, discovering its extraordinary architecture and dynamic, ever evolving neighbourhoods.
Alongside traditional meals and a cultural visit by jeep, they also took part in an original sporting challenge: a vertical race that brings together thousands of runners from all over the world every year.
The event starts at the bottom of one of the tallest buildings in the financial district and the runners race to reach the top. It was a difficult but friendly event, which our team faced with energy and good humour.
Sablier Sàrl, Gérald Gerber Architecte and NFIC submitted an outstanding proposal for the competition to construct the new Jonction water sports park. A project that reveals new perspectives in the construction industry.
We welcomed six girls aged between 10 and 12 during the ‘’Journée Oser Tous les Métiers’’ (JOM) on Thursday, November 9th, 2023. This atelier allows girls to learn more about technical jobs through activities, presentations, and visits of construction sites. This workshop enables girls to learn more about technical professions through activities, presentations, and construction site visits.
Commissioned by the municipality of Echandens, NFIC has just won the study and implementation phase of the future school complex in Echandens (VD), a project developed by the Geneva-based architectural firm dl-c designlab-construction. This exciting scheme will allow us to showcase our analytical abilities and expertise in low-carbon buildings.
Structural works on a Minergie-P/ECO certified eco district demand a proven track record in sustainable construction. This challenge was brilliantly taken up by our team of concrete and recycled materials experts whose specialist knowledge was a real asset to the project.
In association with several renowned offices, NFIC was awarded the contract for the Aigle-Leysin railway line expansion project. This particular railway engineering project asserts our ambitions in this sector and demonstrates, once again, how important sustainable development is to us.
Pushing the boundaries also means constantly exploring new avenues of approach and new ideas. With Hello, Concrete, NFIC is helping to create an exhibition pavilion made entirely of 3D printed concrete. An extraordinary project to be experienced in the prestigious setting of the Vitra Design Museum.
On 3 September, the Beaulieu Theatre revealed its new face after a three-year renovation. This long-term project is part of a much larger conversion in which NFIC made a significant contribution. The kind of challenge we relish!
