Parking structure for the hospital, Sion

Since 2014, the Valais Hospital has been planning the construction of car park in structure with 1,200 to 1,300 spaces for its Sion site, on the plots between avenue du Grand-Champsec and the motorway, today already occupied by surface parking. Citec is participating in the development of this project, from its premises (proof of the need and sizing) until the investigation: sizing of all the particular aspects related to mobility such as the system of ramps and internal circulations, the sizing of entrances/exits, vertical pedestrian connections, etc.
