The Design

About Iiec Installation équestre

L'IIEC est une installation équestre conçue pour les chevaux et les cavaliers. Le complexe comprend des écuries, un manège couvert de 35 mètres sur 70 et une carrière extérieure de 50 mètres sur 80, l'ensemble étant aménagé selon les normes internationales des sports équestres. La structure repose sur une ossature en acier, une façade en parement de pierre à fixation mécanique, un plafond en bois et une couverture métallique. Des verrières ouvrantes assurent une ventilation naturelle et un éclairage naturel, tandis que les surfaces sablées sont desservies par un système d'arrosage. L'implantation compacte réduit la consommation d'énergie et les coûts d'exploitation tout en facilitant les déplacements des chevaux et des cavaliers.
