Very interesting consultancy work for this elegant immersed bridge in the River Rhône, smartly designed by BMV architects.

Our involvement centred mainly around the hydrostatics and stability (more than 1,100 people could be onboard at one time…) as well as the structural load cases, considering the potential deformations in the waves of this long and flat beam.

Finally, we refined the hull shape (bow entry) for aesthetic and conceptual reasons more than to save drag, helped by towing tank testing.
