We are sharing the post from Hydea announcing the approval of the Executive Project for the first phase of the new Emergency and Admission Department (DEA) at the San Giovanni di Dio Hospital ( Torregalli) , Florence.
This is a strategic intervention that will strengthen emergency response capacity and improve the efficiency of healthcare services in the Florence area.

This important milestone was made possible thanks to the joint effort of a multidisciplinary team of professionals, united by the goal of providing citizens with a modern, efficient, and cutting-edge healthcare infrastructure.
Steel Project Engineering, acting as principal of the design partnership (RTP) with Hydea (lead firm), L+Partner, Beta Progetti, and Eng. Francesco Gianola (partners), was responsible for the structural and geotechnical design of the main building, the connective body linking to the existing Vespucci Pavilion, and the stabilization works of the hillside upstream from the intervention area.

The new DEA will be housed in a building covering 11,000 square meters and will serve as a benchmark for emergency care, with 4,000 square meters dedicated to the emergency room and the capacity to accommodate up to 50,000 visits per year.

📌 The New Pavilion

The project includes four levels, one of which is underground, and provides functional integration with the existing facilities through two main distribution axes:

🔹 West – access for external users aligned with the entrance gallery
🔹 East – connection with the Vespucci Pavilion for internal flows

Last week, one of the partners of Steel Project Engineering, Eng. Enrico Zambella, along with a company collaborator, Eng. Andrea Manzi, attended Data Center Nation Milan 2025, held in Milan.

Their participation was kindly made possible by an invitation from Pichler Projects Srl, to whom we extend our sincere thanks for the opportunity to engage in technical exchange and updates.

The event brought together key players in the sector — designers, builders, operators, and investors — for an intense day of meetings, thematic workshops, and networking focused on innovation, sustainability, and advanced solutions for the data center industry.

Below are some photos from the event, accompanied by excerpts from the official poster.

On this day, we want to wish all women a wonderful International Women’s Day!

At Steel Project Engineering, we believe that every day is an opportunity to celebrate the strength, intelligence, and creativity of women who enrich our world and our industry (even though, unfortunately, they are still significantly underrepresented in terms of numbers).

We are proud to support gender equality and enthusiastically welcome applications from talented and passionate women.

If you meet the requirements and wish to be part of a dynamic and innovative team, please apply by clicking here.

Whether you are a woman or a man, what matters to us are your skills and enthusiasm.

Remember, our doors are always open! Join Steel Project and help build a better future with us.

The bridge over the Serchio River has strategic importance and is considered essential for the Piana di Lucca. Once completed, this new infrastructural connection will not only significantly improve the area’s viability and safety but will also serve as a crucial link between the two banks of the Serchio, connecting SP1 ‘Francigena’ (via per Camaiore) with State Road 12 of the Brenner.

The assembly phases of the 100-meter span (P5-P6) and the 80-meter span on the Brenner side are currently being completed. Once these operations and the preparation of the ford in the riverbed are finished, the decks will be transported using SPMT to their final planimetric location.

Last week, President Giani, along with Infrastructure Councillor Stefano Baccelli, the President of the Province of Lucca Marcello Pierucci, Provincial Councillor Luca Menesini, and the technicians, conducted a site inspection.

Steel Project Engineering Srl received the prestigious Responsibility Award from the certification center Bureau Veritas, in recognition of its ongoing commitment to social and environmental responsibility.

This award celebrates the excellence and integrity in Steel Project Engineering’s business practices, highlighting its significant contribution to promoting sustainability and community well-being.

Engineer Giovanni Costa will participate as a speaker at the online course titled “BOLTED/WELDED CONNECTIONS, PRE-QUALIFIED JOINTS AND FOUNDATION FIXINGS – 5th edition” to be held on January 23, 2025. His speech will focus on “Case history, control and verification on site.” For the full event program, please refer to the official flyer: https://www.promozioneacciaio.it/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/LOCANDINA-UNIONI-2025.pdf

This course is organized by the Steel Promotion Foundation and participation guarantees the acquisition of 16 training credits. The maximum number of participants, which is 100 people, has already been reached

Let’s continue to build the future of Steel Project Engineering by valuing our greatest asset: people.

We are pleased to announce the entry into the share capital of our longtime collaborator, Engineer Enrico Zambella. This step represents a further strengthening of the bond of trust and shared vision that unites us.

For us, Steel Project Engineering is not just a company, but a reality in which the contribution of each person becomes an integral part of our growth and success.

Thank you, Enrico, for choosing to share with us not only your talent, but also this important commitment towards a common future.

A Bridge Over the Crest of Africa’s Largest Dam: A Complex Structural Engineering Project in an Unprecedented Context

Last October, the assembly and launching of the Spillway Bridge, a road bridge built over the spillway of the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam (G.E.R.D.) in Ethiopia, was completed. The casting of the slabs is currently being finalized, and the static testing of the deck will be carried out shortly. This project stands out for its technical complexity and the unique integration with Africa’s largest dam, a strategic infrastructure for the region’s energy future.

Technical Characteristics of the Bridge

• Structural Type: A road bridge with three beams made with a composite steel-concrete solution, spanning six longitudinal spans, and a platform width of about 11.6 meters.
• Spans: 32 m + 38 m x 4 + 32 m – Total Length: Approximately 216 meters.
• Location: The road deck on the dam crest is located above the spillway, a strategic area for water flow regulation, supported by two abutments and five reinforced concrete piers built atop the spillway.

The Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam (GERD)

The dam, located on the Blue Nile, is a monumental project set to redefine the energy landscape of East Africa. Key facts about this energy infrastructure include:

• Height: Approximately 150 meters from the existing ground level.
• Crest Length: 1.8 km for the RCC dam, approximately 5.0 km for the sand dam.
• Reservoir Volume: 74 billion cubic meters.
• Installed Capacity: Over 6,000 MW, enough to meet the energy needs of millions of families and promote energy export to neighboring countries.

Challenges of the Bridge Project

The construction of the Spillway Bridge required a high-level engineering approach to address unique challenges:

• Integration with the Dam: The bridge was designed to integrate harmoniously with the dam structure, handle the design seismic accelerations expected at the dam crest, and ensure the spillway’s operation at maximum hydraulic flow.
• Advanced Design: The specific context of the bridge required advanced engineering solutions to ensure the bridge’s resistance to operational loads and site environmental conditions.
• Assembly Techniques: The assembly and launching of the deck were carried out with great precision, using cutting-edge methodologies to meet the project’s timelines and technical constraints.

This project is the result of a multidisciplinary collaboration involving highly qualified engineers, technicians, and professionals, whose combined efforts have transformed a complex design into a unique work in terms of context and execution time.

Steel Project Engineering handled the structural Executive Project of the deck, assembly and launching checks, and the Executive Project of the launching and lowering equipment.

We thank WeBuild S.p.A., General Contractor of the work, for the trust placed and for kindly providing the photographic material.
