Cycle Up carries out the extraordinary diagnosis of the Comédie-Française

An extraordinary diagnosis in a singular building

Since January 1, 2023, the PEMD diagnosis has been imposed on any client who carries out a significant deconstruction or renovation of more than 1.000 m², and obliges him to inventory all the components of the building. The resource diagnosis thus studies all the materials to determine the potential for reuse on a project.

Last February, the Cycle Up teams carried out the PEMD diagnosis of the set workshop of the Comédie-Française. Established since 1970 in a business park on rue du fer à Cheval in Sarcelles, this three-building workshop produces about fifteen sets each year for two of their performance halls: the Salle Richelieu and the Studio Théâtre, with creations, but also reworkings of existing decors.

While the structure of the Comédie-Française wishes to improve the working conditions of its agents and to optimize the maintenance and the costs of its buildings, it wishes soon to redevelop the outdoor spaces as well as one of the hangars. It is in this context that the Cycle Up teams returned to the scene to carry out the diagnosis of this singular building. An operation carried out with Diag it, the application allowing them to facilitate the realization of resource diagnoses on construction sites and the marketing of reused materials.

For Sébastien Duprat, founder of Cycle Up: “The teams are very enthusiastic about taking part in diagnostics in extraordinary places. After the Palais de Justice in Paris, a Parisian department store and a large champagne house, they have inventoried the potential for reuse of the set workshop of the Comédie Française. It's incredible to think that this equipment will have a second life. The reuse of construction materials makes it possible to participate strongly in the reduction of the environmental impact of the project (carbon, waste, resources, etc.). Cycle Up is really part of a logic of circular economy valuing what was previously considered a cost item. »
