Smart Sustainability Report PUBLISHED

Steel Project Engineering strengthens its commitment to sustainability and corporate responsibility with the publication of its SMART Sustainability Report, available on the dedicated digital platform:
https://lg.csrreport.it/rapporti

The document represents a transparent reporting tool outlining the company’s activities, decisions and results in the fields of environmental, social and governance (ESG).

Although it is not a mandatory requirement for our organization, Steel Project Engineering has voluntarily decided to prepare and publish this report, convinced that sustainability is a key element for responsible business development and long-term value creation.

The SMART Sustainability Report clearly presents the company’s commitment across several strategic areas, including:

  • attention to people and the enhancement of skills

  • promotion of equal opportunities and inclusion

  • integration of digital innovation and sustainability within design processes

  • attention to environmental impacts and responsible management of activities

The report was developed thanks to the collaboration with Servizi di Promozione e Sviluppo Economico and the PID Office – Punto Impresa Digitale, which supported the company in structuring and publishing the document on the dedicated platform.

This initiative represents another step for Steel Project Engineering towards a more transparent, innovative and sustainability-oriented business model, in line with the values that guide the company’s daily work and its relationships with clients, partners and the local community.

 

Launch of the school–work placement project

Our first school–work placement project has officially started in collaboration with the Geometers Institute of Livorno. For Steel Project Engineering S.r.l., this is a first experience of this kind, and we embrace it with enthusiasm: welcoming students means opening the doors of our daily work and sharing, in a concrete way, technical skills, methodology and professional culture.

In this first edition, we will host four students, two female and two male participants. This is particularly meaningful for us, in line with our commitment to PdR 125, which promotes gender balance and equal opportunities.

During their time at the company, participants will have the opportunity to closely observe the processes and typical activities of our sector, working alongside our team on training activities consistent with their educational path: from technical work organization and understanding design documents to learning about the tools and best practices that guide engineering design.

For us, this is a tangible way to invest in the future and help build a bridge between education and profession, offering a valuable, respectful and growth-oriented experience.

Welcome to Steel Project Engineering – we are pleased to begin this journey together.

The new Ponte Manzoni inaugurated

The new bridge over the Adda River was officially inaugurated on Monday, January 19 and is now in operation along the SS36 highway. The bridge was opened to traffic ahead of schedule, with a total construction time of just 18 months from the approval of the Final Design Variant.

The inauguration ceremony was attended, among others, by Deputy Prime Minister Matteo Salvini and the President of the Lombardy Region, Attilio Fontana. During the ribbon-cutting ceremony, the strategic importance of the project for the local area and for improving connections within the Lecce infrastructure system was highlighted, particularly in relation to the Milan–Valtellina corridor.

For Steel Project Engineering, this milestone also represents the completion of a comprehensive technical journey covering all the design activities of the project, from design review through to construction planning.

In particular, Steel Project Engineering was responsible for:

  • the Structural Final Design Variant of the bridge and access ramps, on behalf of Aleandri S.p.A., the main contractor;

  • the erection and launching design of the steel decks, on behalf of MBM S.p.A., the steel structure manufacturer.

This technical contribution was developed with the aim of ensuring high design quality, construction reliability and full alignment with site requirements and operational commissioning.
Our heartfelt thanks go to all the members of the project team and to the companies that placed their trust in us during this extraordinary journey.

 

Simone in Rwanda with Bridges to Prosperity

Simone Pardini has arrived in Rwanda: Steel Project Engineering on site with Bridges to Prosperity.

We are pleased to share an update that holds technical, human and symbolic value for us: Simone Pardini, one of our young engineers, has arrived in Rwanda and has already reached the project area as part of the Bridges to Prosperity initiative.

A few months ago, we proudly announced our participation in this international program, which builds safe pedestrian bridges to connect isolated rural communities and reduce barriers to essential services such as education, healthcare and economic opportunities. Today, that journey becomes reality: after arriving in Kigali, Simone moved to the project district, where over the next two weeks he will take part in construction activities and operational coordination alongside an international team of volunteers.

This experience is also the result of collaboration with the Italian Steel Technicians Association (CTA), which chose to turn expertise and professional commitment into tangible action: building connections that last over time. In a historical period often marked by division and barriers, projects like this remind us that engineering can be a powerful tool for unity and progress.

The project involves the construction of a cable-suspended pedestrian bridge designed to improve safety and mobility for local communities. Bridges to Prosperity provides technical, organizational and safety oversight, while volunteers actively contribute to on-site activities, gaining an experience that combines engineering, teamwork and social responsibility.

For Steel Project Engineering, this initiative represents a concrete way to reaffirm the true meaning of our work: designing and building structures that improve people’s lives, guided by competence, methodology and a strong sense of the common good. For Simone, it is also a valuable opportunity for professional and personal growth: a construction site like this teaches not only how to build, but above all why we build.
