La Tour Eiffel


Elle ne passe jamais inaperçue, bien que celui qui l'édifia fût aussi petit qu'elle est grande. Elle suscita l'enthousiasme le plus vertigineux et les injures les plus basses. Mais elle défie la foudre, plie de 12 cm sous l'ouragan et ne rompt pas: le soleil revenu, elle grandit de 15 cm. Elle lança le « Journal parlé» avant de guider les avions et la police.

Le monde entier sait qu'il s'agit de la tour Eiffel.

En 1887, âgé de cinquante-cinq ans, Gustave Eiffel, ingénieur de l'École centrale des arts et manufactures, jouissait de la considération que procure une brillante carrière.

A son époque, l'idée d'élever une tour géante préoccupait les esprits depuis fort longtemps déjà, mais les ressources de la maçonnerie n'avaient jamais permis de réaliser ce rêve: la construction la plus haute du monde, la tour Mole Antonelliana, à Turin, ne dépassait pas 170 m de hauteur. La technique du métal allait modifier les données du problème.

En 1833, déjà, un ingénieur anglais avait conçu les plans d'une colonne en fonte ajourée de 1 000 pieds de haut (304,80 m), de 30 m à la base et de 3,60 m au sommet. Pour l'Exposition de Philadelphie, en 1874, deux Américains proposèrent de dresser un cylindre de fer de même hauteur, de 9 m de diamètre, maintenu par des haubans.


Le projet d'Eiffel, qui devait être le clou de l'Exposition universelle de 1889, était mieux étudié. De plus, son auteur acceptait les responsabilités de la construction dans des conditions de' prix et de délais déterminées. L'accord se fit avec les autorités responsables: Eiffel obtenait l'exploitation commerciale de la tour pour la durée de l'Exposition et la jouissance pendant vingt ans. Pour les fondations, l'ingénieur utilisa la technique de l'air comprimé et fit reposer chacun des quatre montants de la tour sur un socle cimenté de 26 m2 de surface et de 9 à 14 m de profondeur. Et la tour grandit dans le ciel de Paris: le premier étage (4) était dépassé en février 1888, le second (6) en septembre, le troisième (8) atteint en janvier 1889. Quand Gustave Eiffel envoya les couleurs, le 31 mars, l'entreprise avait nécessité plus de 5 000 feuilles de dessin d'atelier, 40 dessinateurs et calculateurs pendant deux 1 ans, 15 000 pièces métalliques environ assemblées par 1 2 500 000 rivets. L'ensemble pesait 7 000 t, ce qui est 1 minime: un modèle réduit fait au millième aurait 30 cm de hauteur et son poids serait de 7 g! Cetteé tonnante légèreté et l'élégance qui s'en dégage expriment parfaitement le génie d'Eiffel.

Le 10 juin 1889,23 202 personnes montèrent sur la tour, qui reçut 1 968 287 visiteurs dans l'année 1889, record qui n'a jamais été égalé depuis. Dans la foule qui rendait hommage à Eiffel, on,comptait des rois, des princes, des savants. Le succès 'de la tour n'a guère fléchi depuis: elle reçoit 1 600 000 visiteurs par an.

Mais la tour a toujours été plus qu'un simple objet de curiosité pour les promeneurs. Outre les enseignements précieux tirés de son édification même, de multiples travaux scientifiques y ont été exécutés. En 1898, Du cretet réalise la liaison radio-électrique entre la tour et le Panthéon. Dans les premières années du XX., le général Ferrié communique par télégraphie sans fil avec les fortifications de l'est de la France et avec des navires de guerre.

En 1908, une station radio-militaire est installée. On y crée après 1918 la Radiodiffusion française. Un phare pour avions, établi en 1947, modernisé en 1952, atteint une portée de 180 km. La tour a également inspiré les peintres Dufy, Utrillo, Delaunay, qui l'ont fixée sur la toile; les écrivains Aragon, Breton, Apollinaire, Cocteau, qui l'ont célébrée en vers et en prose; les cinéastes, qui, comme René Clair, l'ont adoptée. Quand

Eiffel affirmait, en 1887, que « le premier principe de l'esthétique archi tecturale est que les lignes essentielles d'un monument soient déterminées par la parfaite appropriation à sa destination », il ne se doutait pas des multiples usages auxquels son chef-d'œuvre était déjà promis!

Published on: 05 Oct 2011

Information is a company asset which must be categorized, quantified, and protected, just as much as any other asset. The security and protection of information is a management topic, not a technical problem. It is about people and processes.

Technology can help to reduce the risks to your information. Ultimately, it is people who produce these risks. The majority of information loss takes place not only within the organization, but also through suppliers and customers who have regular access to your information systems.

In this workshop, the fundamental forms of threats by corporate espionage will be shown and its defence (Counter Intelligence) will be introduced.

Workshop foci:

Identification of threats
Social engineering
IT- and TelCo security
Safe communication
The Internet: a threat'

Oct 15, 2012: ICI-21 - Analysis of Competitor's Strategies at TIMHotel Palais Royal
Published on: 15 Feb 2012

The six perspectives of competitor strategy reengineering

ICI-21 Analysis of Competitor's StrategiesThe most celebrated of Competitive Intelligence analyses is the analysis of competitor strategies. This workshop looks at the companies within the competitor peer group and how to analyze them from six perspectives. These sub-analyses are then integrated into one competitor strategy evaluation.

Once competitors’ strategies are known, a company can develop its strategy accordingly to achieve long-term competitive advantage.

This therefore enables the company to avoid any surprises caused through competitors’ activities. In this way, an understanding of the internal view of the competitor is built up. It is possible to derive competitors’ future reactions through reaction profiles, and build up competitor scenarios and war gaming, for example.
