The NATO Support and Procurement Agency (NSPA) is based in a complex in the city of Capellen, Luxembourg. It is dedicated to providing support to allied countries, partners and other international organisations for the procurement and maintenance of equipment and logistics for the defence and security operations of the alliance of European and US countries.
More than 50 years after the construction of the site, the agency is now in the process of modernising the complex and has begun construction of two new buildings to house administrative services. To carry them out, the construction companies Soludec and Tralux have trusted GARCIA FAURA for the execution of the envelopes of both buildings.
One of the objectives of the architectural project, signed by HO Architectes, was to have a mostly glazed façade that would provide maximum natural light to the working platforms and with maximum efficiency. To this end, 4,000 square metres of curtain walling will be developed with the highest thermal performance available on the market, with triple glazing that has a very low heat transfer coefficient.
The works to be carried out by GARCIA FAURA include other elements such as sheet metal cladding, motorised systems of adjustable louvres, overhangs with tramex walkways and up to a dozen automatic and manual doors.
Both buildings will total 12,000 square metres of new construction with a high level of energy efficiency. GARCIA FAURA assigns to the project a multidisciplinary team of professionals in exclusive, formed by project managers, engineers, manufacturing and assembly officers, among others, as well as a specific team of quality management. A structure prepared to face a project of high complexity that will have to fulfil, in addition, a few careful deadlines of execution.
