An ambitious project that leverages Italferr's digital know-how to map and analyze St. Peter's Basilica, making it the subject of future constant monitoring to protect its integrity through the creation of a true digital twin. This pioneering activity, conducted on behalf of the Fabbrica di San Pietro, required 2 months of surveys, both inside and outside, using drones and a balloon, 15,000 photos for 630 Giga Pixels acquired, 2 weeks of post-processing of the point clouds with several computers in parallel, and an additional 2 months of activities for the development of the BIM information model and the Digital Twin.
Following the collapse of the Morandi Bridge, which occurred on August 14, 2018, Italferr engineering was called upon by the Pergenova consortium to develop the executive design of the new S.Giorgio viaduct: a complex work, completed in record time, a symbol of the rebirth of the city of Genoa.
An international project of great significance that saw Italferr, from August 6, 2014, at the forefront in coordinating sponsors, partners, countries, and exhibitors; in the project management of pavilions and buildings; in the design of some works; and in supporting the EXPO contracting authority in technical, legal, administrative, and environmental protection activities. A monumental undertaking that involved the use of 250,000 cubic meters of concrete, 80,000 cubic meters of wood, 200 km of electrical cables, and 70,000 tons of steel, an amount five times greater than that used to build the Eiffel Tower.
...THE STORY IN REAL TIME! They work more than 14 hours a day between continuous meetings, inspections, checks, unexpected events, frugal snacks and night walks to visit the construction sites before going to sleep. They are engineers, surveyors, lawyers. They come from every corner of Italy and for nine months their obsession has been only one: a desperate fight against time to make the pavilions of Expo 2015 accessible less than 24 hours before the official opening. “Spazio”, “l’Avvocato”, “Sciasciuolone”, “Cellone”, “Re Artù”. Behind the Milan Universal Exhibition that is attracting visitors from all over the globe are them: a team of forty people - each rigorously renamed with a nickname - accustomed to building tunnels and railway lines, who suddenly found themselves having to take the reins of an immense construction site paralyzed less than a year ago by a judicial investigation with disruptive effects. A team engaged in the race against time from their "base camp", a series of prefabricated buildings a few steps from the Rho-Pero pavilions from where, with feverish activity, the logistics activity is coordinated. And from where the countdown for 52 autonomous pavilions and nine "clusters" dedicated to the various areas of the world began. Between unexpected events, behind the scenes and stories of disarming humanity. |
Through its multidisciplinary approach consolidated over time, Italferr confirms its leadership in new markets in Italy and abroad, becoming one of the major players also in engineering services for urban transport systems. An engineering vision that focuses on an approach aimed at modal optimization in which integrated rail/road, metropolitan and tram services constitute the cornerstones of the overall mobility system.
