Case Study FAQs

Technical Questions About this Project

Frequently asked engineering, customs, and assembly questions regarding the Zermatt / Valais delivery.

Yes. All calculations are engineered according to SIA 260 / 261 / 263 and Swiss National Annexes of Eurocode 3, approved by local Swiss cantonal building departments (Bauamt).

We engineered cold-formed double C-profile columns and reinforced web trusses designed for SIA 261 Alpine Snow Zone, resisting 4.0 kN/m² without bulky concrete beams.

With an official EUR.1 Movement Certificate, all structural steel kits enter Switzerland with 0% customs import duty and direct transit via the Simplon pass in 4 days.
