Deal
The construction of new buildings—whether residential complexes, commercial structures, or large public facilities—is the core business of the construction industry.
Against a background in which environmental standards are becoming stricter and delivery deadlines shorter, the performance quality of structural contractors relies on one key factor: the quality and safety of their construction equipment.
Copac supports builders by offering purpose-built product lines designed for new building construction. Our mission is to convert technical constraints into drivers of productivity, while striving to achieve a “Zero Accident-risk” goal for workers.
Modularity, Speed, and Safety
Challenges in New Building construction
The new construction market is of q quite different nature from that of ten years ago. Today, a new worksite must meet challenges in terms of modularity, speed of execution, and reduced carbon footprint. For decision-makers (construction managers, site supervisors, QHSE managers), selecting the appropriate safety equipment is strategic.
Copac purpose-built products for new building construction have been developed to address this complexity. Whether to manage facade, secure elevator shafts, or to optimize casting cycles, each solution is designed to integrate seamlessly into the workflow of a worksite.
Equipment Solutions
1. Safe and Secure Platforms: COPASS PTE and Platforms
One of the most critical stages in new-build construction is slab edge work and façade management. To avoid the costly and cumbersome installation of scaffolding over the full height of a building, Copac has developed its Cantilever Work Platforms (PTE).
COPASS200: The Benchmark for Structural Concrete Works
Winner of the Mat d’Or 2025 Award – “Recommended by Professionals”
The COPASS200 platform is a cantilever working platform designed for work at height. Compliant with NF P93-351 and CRAMIF Recommendation R464, it provides a 2-metre-wide working area, allowing smooth circulation and the safe storage of tools and materials required for formwork operations.
These solutions are based on the following components:
Multipurpose Platforms and Load-Bearing Systems
Copac offers multipurpose platform and load-bearing bracket solutions, essential for complex geometries in new-build projects, particularly for balcony formwork or the creation of specific access and circulation areas.
The use of these load-bearing systems makes it possible to anticipate installation and striking constraints, reducing technical risks while enhancing the safety of production teams.
2. Securing Openings and Access Points
In new-build construction, openings (such as elevator shafts, stairwells, or service shafts) represent some of the highest fall risks. Copac provides solutions to secure these critical areas.
WINNER OF THE 2025 MAT D’OR AWARD – “INNOVATION”
PODIFLEX ADJUSTABLE PODIUM: VERSATILITY AND SAFETY
The PODIFLEX is an innovative solution for covering openings. Unlike traditional timber solutions, which are often unstable, the PODIFLEX is an adjustable steel structure designed to adapt to the geometry of the opening.
- Adaptability: It adjusts in both width and length to fit perfectly inside elevator shafts.
- Productivity: Its quick installation and reusability on every floor help maintain high production rates without compromising safety.
Custom Podiums by Copac
Copac relies on its own production facility located in Reims, specializing in the design and manufacture of custom podiums.
This industrial expertise enables us to provide work and access solutions perfectly suited to complex geometries:
Complete Adaptability
Unlike standard modular solutions, a custom podium is designed directly from your project drawings. It enables the protection of atypical openings, monumental stair shafts, or specific transfer areas where no standard equipment can be installed.
Industrial Quality and Compliance
Every podium leaving our production facility benefits from full traceability and manufacturing in compliance with safety standards.
Engineering Office Expertise
Every custom podium project is subject to an in-depth technical study. We integrate lifting, storage, and fixing constraints from the design stage so that the equipment is immediately operational upon arrival on site.
3. Safety Equipment and Handling Accessories
Safety on a new-build construction site is a comprehensive approach that includes a wide range of perimeter protection accessories.
Perimeter Protection Systems: Guardrails, Posts and Tubes
Copac products for new-build construction include modular perimeter protection systems designed to adapt to all formwork and concrete structure configurations.
These solutions are based on the following components:
The combined use of this equipment meets safety requirements while providing simplified installation ergonomics for on-site workers.
Site Safety Equipment and Accessories
Copac offers a range of accessories and secondary equipment designed to integrate into the structural work construction cycle and finishing phases. These solutions are intended to eliminate fall risks and optimize workstation ergonomics:
By reducing physical strain and securing every access point, Copac helps companies maintain high QHSE standards, particularly during critical structural work phases in residential construction.
OUR DESIGN EXPERTISE
Safe Handling and Logistics
high-performing construction site is an organized one. Our transport and storage baskets are designed to facilitate the lifting of your safety accessories. By grouping posts, tubes, and rails in dedicated baskets, you secure lifting operations, prevent falling objects, and optimize on-site storage.
Every project comes with its own logistical constraints. Copac puts its design expertise at your disposal to develop dedicated handling equipment.
Custom design: We develop and manufacture custom baskets, racks, and lifting accessories to meet specific storage requirements or the constraints of particular construction site configurations.
Our Shoring Solutions for New-Build Construction
In new-build construction, shoring is a critical stage that determines the geometry and structural integrity of the building. Whether supporting slabs, stabilizing beams, or holding vertical formwork in place, Copac offers a range of certified shoring solutions designed to withstand the highest loads.
Our shoring solutions are designed to ensure safety during concrete pouring and curing:
Copac shoring solutions mean rigorously maintained equipment and precise structural calculations produced by our engineering office, ensuring that your installations comply with European standards.
Our New Construction Projects
Copac Expertise
Support, from Planning to Construction
Why do companies choose Copac for their new construction projects?
Because we are not only renting equipment, but we also provide valuable expertise.
Design Office and Layout Plans
Every new project is unique. Our in-house design office analyses your construction drawings to draft a precise layout. This includes a virtual positioning of each walkway and each guardrail to optimize space and fill all remaining gaps. Far-sightedness enables to avoid that construction delays arise from equipment shortages or technical incompatibilities.
Logistics and Just-in-Time Delivery
On a new worksite, space is a scarce resource. Copac manages logistics, delivers materials at the exact moment when they are needed and removes the equipment as soon as it is no longer required, thereby freeing up space for secondary trades.
Assembly, Dismantling, and Maintenance
The installation of complex equipment such as COPASS walkways or shoring towers requires specific qualifications. Our teams of professional assemblers ensure on-site commissioning. Each product is rigorously maintained and inspected between projects to guarantee total reliability.
Business Synergies
The construction of a new building is a complex ecosystem. Copac offers complementary solutions for your specific needs, beyond the scope of traditional new construction:
