𝐀𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧! 🎬 𝐆𝐫𝐞𝐞𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐬 𝐟𝐫𝐨𝐦 𝐓𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐨𝐧𝐚! 🏀🏗️ The new stadium in Tortona, is set to become the new home for the local basketball team, Bertram Derthona Basket, which currently competes in the Italian Lega Basket Serie A. 🎉🏆 Scheduled for completion in early 2025, this stadium, known as the "Lions' Den," aims to revitalize the local basketball scene. 🦁🏟️ Spanning 17,000 m², the venue will accommodate up to 5,000 spectators. The stadium's roof, with a diameter of around 80 meters, is uniquely constructed entirely from glued laminated timber, with the total weight of the elements exceeding 70 tons! 🌳💪 Originally, the roof structure was planned to be made of steel. However, due to the large spans of up to 33 meters, excellent fire resistance (R60 in this case), structural requirements, and shorter construction times, glued laminated timber was chosen as the material for the new stadium roof. 🔥🏗️ Our contributions to this project included structural and execution planning, as well as turnkey execution, which encompassed the planning of the structural framework, the entire roofing, and all details. 📐✏️ We were also responsible for the production of all elements, such as glued laminated timber beams and prefabricated roof elements, while managing their delivery to the construction site using standard, special, and custom vehicles. 🚚🚧 The assembly of the 185 roof covering elements (measuring 2.5 x 11.5 meters) was completed in just about six weeks! ⏱️✨ Enjoy the video and let us know in the comments if you like the project as much as we do! 💬❤️ 🔗 Here you can find the full projcet description: https://lnkd.in/ddKEA_Vx Client: APPIA S.R.L.
