Basements

waterproofing the basement of the villa

by
Single-family villa designed by architect Silvia Casanova, with the podium made of Drytech Weisse Wanne waterproofing.

The waterproofing of the basement level of the iconic villa designed by architect Silvia Casanova was carried out with the Drytech Tank System, because the clay quality of the soil favours water stagnation, making structural waterproofing necessary.

Immersed in nature, the red house in Cureglia is also very green inside.

The production of energy is entrusted to an air-water heat pump, with solar panels for the production of hot water and provision for the installation of the photovoltaic system on the roof.

The insulation is guaranteed by an airy structure, made up of a layer of rock wool, a cavity for ventilation and a coating in ecological fiber cement sheets.

The ventilation of the facade prevents the formation of humidity inside the house, which also benefits from a forced ventilation system.

The building stands on land parallel to the road. The north side was therefore conceived as a real screen: thermal, but also acoustic.

The basement level, intended for the garage and technical rooms, was built with the Drytech Tank.

Waterproofing Hospital

by
The new Sant'Anna hospital in Como is located on an area of ​​over 80,000 m² south of the city of Como and a few hundred meters from the headquarters of Drytech Italia.

The choice of the Drytech Tank as the waterproofing system for the Sant’Anna Hospital in Como ensured a significant reduction of work days in the overall site budget, thanks to the construction characteristics and organisation of the Drytech system.

The activities of the Drytech Tank are in fact parallel to the other activities of the site, so that the waterproofing item has been removed from the work schedule.

The Como Polyclinic has two underground floors exposed to a 2-meter flap, which will also house the operating theaters.

To support the weight of the structure, the site of the construction site was consolidated with approximately 4000 reinforced concrete poles, with a depth varying between 20 and 30 meters.

The poles were thrown into shirts driven into the ground with micro-explosions.

Waterproofing of a residential complex in contact with the sea

by
The conversion of the industrial port area, west of the Genoa airport, also involves the construction of the Borgo alla Marina residential complex.

The Drytech Tank was chosen for the waterproofing of a large residential complex in direct contact with the sea.

When construction was complete, the waterproofing of the underwater level was tested by flooding the site perimeter.

After checking the watertightness of the Drytech Tank, the structure was launched by removing the sheet piling.

The conversion of the industrial port area, west of the Genoa airport, also involves the construction of the Borgo alla Marina residential complex.

200 prestigious apartments, with relative berths and garage, overlooking a new tourist port.

Below the buildings and the square, in direct contact with the sea water, is the covered parking area for residents.

Waterproofing the thermal plant

by
The residential center La Città sul Mare in Savona, in fact, heats up in winter and cools down in summer by exploiting the sea temperature.

The Drytech Tank waterproofing system was used for the sea inlet of the Città del Mare’s thermal plant, as well as for the two floors of the underground car park, which is exposed to a 5-metre water table, as can be seen from the jet pressure coming out of the pump shaft in the third picture.

The residential center La Città sul Mare in Savona, in fact, heats up in winter and cools down in summer by exploiting the sea temperature.

Excellent news for the sky arrives from the sea.

The plant is zero-emission and, using a renewable and free resource, provides a definitive solution to the problems of atmospheric pollution and the soaring costs of fossil energy sources.

The Savonate housing complex was built by Meraviglia Spa of Bulgarogrosso (CO) and was designed by the Technion Srl and Ellevi di Lecco design studios.

The 120 apartments are served by a heating system connected to a sea outlet, built on the boulder pier facing the complex.

The basic principle of the system is the substantially constant temperature of the sea water (about 18 ° in this stretch of coast).

The pipes of the heating and air conditioning system from the building run underground to the sea intake, where the heat pump is located, which uses sea water as a source or as a heat sink.

The transport of thermal energy takes place through the same water. Water that is sucked from the sea, brought up to the heat exchanger and, therefore, released.

The system has a positive energy balance: it supplies more energy (heat) than electricity needed for its operation (the ratio is at least 1 to 4 or higher, up to 1 to 6).
