Civil & Design activities include the architectural, structural and MEP systems design of complex buildings and strategic infrastructure, including large property developments, hospitals, barracks, data centres, shopping centres and stadiums.
Architectural design integrates functional, technological and environmental requirements, while structural design uses engineering calculation tools and digital methodologies in accordance with current regulations and the specific requirements of each project.
MEP systems design covers mechanical and electrical systems focused on energy efficiency.
Laser scanners, drones and advanced surveying tools support the acquisition of design data, while BIM methodologies combine the design and construction of the asset within a single information model.
Project Management coordinates project development from concept through detailed and construction design by integrating multidisciplinary expertise, Design Management and planning tools.
The construction stage includes construction supervision, health and safety coordination, testing and final inspection, and site management.
Construction managers, site managers, works supervisors, site inspectors and discipline specialists work in coordination to manage complex construction sites and meet each project’s constraints and specifications.
The project involved the construction of a technology hub to house the operations center of the Italian Maritime Rescue Coordination Center (IMRCC) of the General Command of the Port Authority Corps-Coast Guard. In addition to space for the operations center, there was a need to create office space for support.
The requirement for such spaces is to accommodate about 20 units on a routine basis, but with appropriate redundancy to allow for adequate response capacity should emergency situations arise to be handled.
St. Benedict’s Hospital in Alatri, built in 1978 on an area of 33,500 square meters, consists of six reinforced concrete building bodies designed according to the seismic standards of the time. However, recent analyses have revealed deficiencies in its ability to withstand earthquakes according to current standards.
La SIA was commissioned to assess seismic vulnerability and design consolidation works, which included the installation of advanced seismic isolation systems and modern engineering techniques. The main challenge was to carry out the work without disrupting the hospital’s operations.
The Calatrava Sail project presented a stimulating challenge for our team. In the Scan to Bim phase, we applied our technological expertise to transform the survey data into a detailed virtual representation of the structure and its 46 hectares of land.
This digital model provided an essential basis for the future maintenance and development of the site. Because of the complexity and extent of the work, the model was divided into separate blocks, preceded by a preliminary study to characterize the individual elements that make up the federated model.
In the Business Units, we use cutting-edge design technologies that revolutionize every stage of the project, from initial conception to final implementation.
Immersive visualization models are one of our strengths. These models provide a detailed and realistic representation of project developments, enabling more effective collaboration and greater transparency. Clients can view projects as if they were already completed, improving approval and overall satisfaction. This not only facilitates the understanding of design details, but also allows for the identification and resolution of any issues prior to actual construction.
Data visualization is another key element of our technology approach. Through intuitive graphical representations, we make complex data easy to understand, facilitating analysis and communication among all project stakeholders. Information Technologies (IT) support the technology infrastructure, ensuring security, reliability and business continuity.
With these technologies, we are able to offer innovative and high-quality solutions, while always maintaining a strong focus on sustainability and efficiency. The combination of AR/VR, BI, digital implementation, data visualization, IT, and immersive visualization models allows us to lead the industry and pursue complex projects with an unparalleled level of precision and expertise.
Participating in design competitions is one of the goals we have set to internally stimulate the creativity and ingenuity of our resources, a time for business growth in the procurement group with the goal of meeting the requests of contracting agencies to acquire a project with a different level of depth depending on the individual calls for proposals.
Such competitions are always characterized by the following elements:
Following the judging phase, the Contracting Authority may also reserve the right to entrust the winner with the implementation of all subsequent phases of the project, from construction management to design and construction safety coordination.
