Already last year, on its 30th anniversary Environne'Tech (Emitech Group) announced that the Bourgoin-Jallieu 2020 project would begin with the expansion of its centre for equipment qualification and environmental tests. The new building, with a floor area of 800 m2 and a height of 10 m is designed to handle voluminous test subjects such as aeronautic parts, entire vehicles or bulky installations. By 13 November, the first test campaign was started in a new, purpose-built, 93 m3 climate chamber, which complements the existing equipment.
