The collaboration is between MECAN-HYDRO and IVEA. Distance, project requirements, network and language differences, nothing stands in the way...
The current flows between the two partners (both mastering their respective and complementary know-how). The digital exchange of data and 3D assemblies marks the progress of the studies... to ultimately lead to the creation of an efficient motorization system, integrating two electric cylinders (power: 25 tons - stroke 1575 mm) with AUMA servomotors and frequency variators to reduce the speed at the end of the stroke.
In autumn 2018, a MECAN-HYDRO delegation travels to IVEA to validate the service. The visitors from Quebec take the opportunity to appreciate the organization and specific resources of their host and supplier, justifying its slogan "Your projects in motion"! Values, maximum tensile and compressive force measurements - everything is tested on the test bench and passes with flying colors.
Ready for shipping, the equipment is on board. At the end of his transatlantic crossing, he joined the imposing Peterborough construction site, which was progressing well despite the harsh winter weather: the concrete was even heated to allow it to develop sufficient maturity to withstand the cold! And in April 2019, it is finally the spectacular installation of the doors....
