Théâtre National de Strasbourg — Hubert Gignoux hall
Replacement of the overhead machinery in the Hubert Gignoux hall — 31 motorised bars.
The Théâtre National de Strasbourg, a public body attached to the Ministry of Culture, is the only national theatre of international standing based outside Paris. Across three sites it combines performance halls, a drama school, rehearsal rooms, administrative offices and set and costume workshops.
The Salle Hubert Gignoux is a rectangular theatre space of 21 × 15 m, 7 m high, whose free, flat acting area extends 12 m deep, without wings, facing a partly retractable stand of 209 seats. The TNS entrusted Scenarchie with the project management for the replacement of its overhead machinery. The works comprised removing the existing installation, checking the supporting structure suspended beneath the concrete transfer beams, then installing 31 motorized batten sets with a maximum working load of 250 kg, compliant with standard NF EN 17206 in UC4 use.
Scenarchie also dealt with the power supply, the control cabinets, the cabling and the control desk, with full self-inspection before handover: safety brakes, limit and over-travel sensors, overload detection, altimetry and load cells.
