This article published in Strade e Autostrade talks about the project for the assembly and launching of the Cisavola and Volpara viaducts on the existing route of the Cisa A15 motorway.

Steel Project, on behalf of BIT SpA, manufacturer of the deck and metal struts, developed the Executive Project of the lifting equipment for the Cisavola viaduct and the launching equipment of the Volpara viaduct, in addition to the checks of the two decks during the lifting and of launching.

Work continues at the Casamassima construction site.

While waiting to begin the lifting operations of the walkway, we show you some photos of the construction site.

These two interesting posts give news of the inauguration of the Cern Science Gateway in Geneva, a futuristic project by Renzo Piano, in which on behalf of Cimolai SpA we developed the assembly project for the metal structures.

We thank Cimolai SpA for the opportunity granted.

Steel Project Engineering (Principal) in RTP with Engeko (Principal) was awarded the contract divided into two lots of Works Management services and Safety Coordination assignment during the Execution phase, for the implementation of the works relating to the project called “Bridge over the Serchio river for the connection between the S.S. n. 12 of Abetone and Brennero and the S.P. n. 1 Francigena in the Municipality of Lucca”; the task assigned to us in relation to lot 2 is that of Safety Coordination during the Execution phase.

A few months ago the press conference was held for the laying of the foundation stone and the start of work on the new cycle/pedestrian infrastructure in the municipality of Casamassima. Steel Project Engineering has developed the Final and Executive Design of the metal deck and reinforced concrete abutments.

Steel Project Engineering in RTP with Eng. Emanuele Pacini, Dr. Alessandro Nenci and the Arch. Tommaso Del Rio was awarded the contract for the Final and Executive Design and Safety Coordination in the Design Phase for the extraordinary maintenance and conservative rehabilitation works of the bridges of the Avigliano Umbro and Terni Road – Bridge at km 3 +492 of the Sp 16 of Stroncone and at km 28+846 of the Sp 113 Tiberina.

The functional renovation works of the EUR Towers Complex in Rome are proceeding. They consist of a set of buildings of considerable architectural and urban planning importance built by the architect Ligini at the end of the 1950’s.

Steel Project Engineering, as part of the overall restoration and re-functionalization intervention, took care of the structural part by developing the Executive Project for all the portions of buildings affected by metal carpentry elements.
The photographs from the construction site show the progress of the works, which starting from the month of May are involving the interventions on the existing Buildings A and C, as well as the assembly of the newly built connective buildings G3 and G4.

Our project “Ponte sull’Adige” has been selected among the finalists for the “IABSE Award 2023” (https://www.iabse.org/IABSEAwards) in the “Small Road and Rail Bridges” category.

There are a total of 5 finalist projects in the aforementioned category: in addition to ours, there are 4 bridges, built respectively in India, China, Canada and Sweden. ( Click here to see all the shortlisted projects in the various categories ).

We just have to wait for the final award ceremony, which will be held in Zurich on November 8th!

OMO Park

Coverage of the OMO of Taranto was also included in issue 02/2023 of the magazine Costruzioni in Acciaio.

The safe confinement steel structure for the OMO (raw materials) park in Taranto has plan dimensions of 110 x 385m and is made up of 63 trussed arches, spaced by 6.20 m and with a maximum height of approximately 42m

On our YouTube channel there is an interesting Timelapse that shows the assembly phases in detail.

We refer to the magazine and to the Collegio Tecnici Acciaio website for further details.

The main hydroelectric plant in Africa

Our sheds for the Power House and Erection Bay for the new electrical system of the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance DAM ( G.E.R.DAM ) built in Ethiopia are illustrated in the Costruzioni Metalliche magazine 2/2023.
An enormous plant which, with an annual electricity production capacity of almost 16,000 gigawatts, will be the largest hydroelectric plant in Africa.

The sheds covering the Power Units of the new hydroelectric plant on the Blue Nile consist of two types of statically independent metal structures: two Erection Bay blocks and eight Power Houses on the right bank while on the left bank there are five Power Units and a single Erection Bay block. Each structural unit covers an area of approximately 4400 square meters, with a total longitudinal length of 52-60 m and a width of approximately 27 m.

For further details, see the Costruzioni Metalliche magazine.
