Installation of the DucoWall Acoustic system on the Pacifica building in Fleury-sur-Orne

For the inauguration of its first low-carbon claims management unit in Fleury-sur-Orne, Crédit Agricole Assurances chose the DucoWall Acoustic system to protect and aesthetically integrate the technical equipment on the roof.

Project background and requirements

As part of the opening of its first low-carbon claims management unit, Crédit Agricole Assurances has inaugurated a new building in Fleury-sur-Orne in 2023. The structure, designed to meet the most stringent environmental standards, houses a range of roof-mounted technical equipment, for which protection and visual integration were paramount. The DucoWall Acoustic system was selected for its effectiveness as a protective cladding while offering an aesthetic and functional solution.

Shielding and aesthetic integration

The DucoWall Acoustic 150 system, made up of extruded aluminium profiles, is specially designed to conceal and protect technical equipment while integrating the building harmoniously into its environment. The aluminium louvres are securely clipped onto plastic supports, forming a discreet barrier that protects the equipment from the elements and prying eyes. Thanks to its modern design and architectural flexibility, DucoWall Acoustic adds a neat, contemporary finish to the building's roof.

Added acoustic value for an optimised working environment

In addition to its aesthetic features, DucoWall Acoustic offers appreciable sound attenuation of up to 11 dB. This feature helps to limit the spread of noise generated by technical equipment to the interior of the building and its immediate surroundings, providing greater acoustic comfort for employees. In the context of the Pacifica UGS, this feature creates a more pleasant working environment while maintaining the building's acoustic comfort standards.

A durable, modular installation

The choice of aluminium for the louvres guarantees lightness, durability and resistance to climatic conditions. DucoWall Acoustic's modular structure, with easily removable louvres, simplifies maintenance of the underlying equipment and means that the installation can be adapted to meet the site's changing technical requirements. In addition, aluminium is a recyclable material, meeting the environmental requirements of the project.

Conclusion

The DucoWall Acoustic installed on the Pacifica building effectively fulfils its role of protecting technical equipment while offering an aesthetic design. Thanks to its acoustic added value, it also improves the comfort of work areas by reducing noise pollution. This system combines functionality, durability and compliance with the architectural and environmental requirements of the Pacifica project.
