The Louvre Post Office redevelopment project

Missions

Setec carried out the coordination of planning activities, environmental studies, architectural and technical feasibility studies, and provided assistance to the Owner for the tender and procurement phases. Concerning the implementation of ground source heat pumps (GSHP), Setec was commissioned to determine the hydrodynamic conditions of the groundwater table through thermal and hydrodynamic modeling (under Feflow software) and conduct field tests.
The assignment includes the supervision of the boring works and drafting of the geothermal feasibility study.

The Louvre Post Office is famous for its late 19th century architectural and technical characteristics (stone facades, cast-iron frame, Eiffel type roof) with 35,000sqm of surface right in the center of Paris. Today this remarkable heritage was chosen by the La Poste Group to become a “flagship vessel” displaying the group’s new services and opened to the capital’s business and cultural life on a 24/7 basis.
For this project, La Poste Group wishes to implement ground source heat pumps (GSHP) by boring holes in the limestone in a verry dense urban environment.
