Home » Eiffel Tower Makeover To Modernize Landmark
A $34-million project will replace facilities on the first level of Paris’ landmark Eiffel Tower, last upgraded in the 1980s. A glass floor measuring over 30 sq meters will fill the now open central section of the 5,240-sq-m platform, 57 m above grade. A new restaurant and conference space are also in the works, along with improved disabled access, various forms of renewable energy, stormwater harvesting and low-energy lighting.
The 340-m-tall tourist attraction will remain open to visitors during the 18-month design-build contract, starting next year, with local architect Moatti-Rivière in a joint venture with contractor Bateg S.A., a subsidiary of Vinci Group. Ginger Group, Paris, is the engineer.
