CBS-Lifteam is an international French-Swiss group, founded in 1991, specializing in timber engineering. History CBS-Lifteam is a group specializing in timber building. It was founded in Lausanne in 1991 by engineer Jean-Luc Sandoz. The group is a pioneer in the use of all-construction methods in the bio-sourced sector. Its slogan is "More engineering, less material". The group has founded two design offices, Concept Bois Structure (CBS) in Paris and Concept Bois Technologie (CBT) in Lausanne, a wood prefabrication plant, Ecotim, created in 2005 in Savoie, and a construction supervision company, Lifteam, created in 2006. Business structure Technology department CBT is the continuation of a start-up company at the l'École polytechnique fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL) aimed at transferring the research work carried out at the school by Jean-Luc Sandoz under the guidance of Julius Natterer, who was then head of the school's wood chair, into the practical field.

Polux
Polux is a measuring device for checking the condition of wooden electricity and telephone poles. This is a specific non-destructive testing tool for wooden poles. Description Polux technology is used for safety and maintenance diagnostics. The measurements enable operators to climb poles safely and check the condition of the wood to estimate its remaining lifespan. History The Polux technology was developed in the early 90s by Professor Jean-Luc Sandoz, following on from the Sylvatest, at the initial request of EDF Energy, EDF, which had the dual problem of the safety and lifespan of their poles. In 2003, the technology was presented at the 17th International Congress on Electrical Distribution Networks in Barcelona. In 2017, a report by Orange S.A., Orange's Confédération Générale du Travail-Syndicaliste Révolutionnaire, CGT insisted on the danger of unmaintained poles and demonstrated, through several large-scale comparative tests, the scientific contribution of Polu ...
