The challenge

The starting point on site

An apartment building in Luxembourg City needed a very large insulating unit replaced on the top storey, in a position that is hard to reach from the street. The work was scheduled for a Saturday so the public road could be closed temporarily for the crane, in coordination with the authorities and our technical partners.

What we did

The Vitralux solution

  • XXL insulating unit — replaced on the top storey in a hard-to-reach position
  • Megalift telescopic crane with a jib extension to reach the height required
  • Dual-circuit vacuum lifter to lift and set the pane safely
  • Coordinated road closure — Saturday call-out to keep disruption down
  • Technical and logistical coordination between the Vitralux teams and their partners

A family firm since 1865, specialised in glazing and mirror work — every demanding project is a chance to show what we can do.
