Allianz Isozaki Tower, Milan

by
The Isozaki Tower in the CityLife district, inspired by Costantin Brancusi's endless column, has become one of the symbols of the city of Milan.

The Isozaki Tower, inspired by Constantin Brancusi’s endless column, has become one of the symbols of the city. Designed by the Japanese architect Arada Isozaki together with the Italian architect Andrea Maffei, the skyscraper is the headquarters of Allianz in Italy.

The building, which can accommodate up to 3,800 people, is the tallest skyscraper in Italy by number of floors (50) and according to the highest occupied floor criterion (with its 207 m).

Drytech has designed the waterproofing of all the structures below the project ground level. The fire-fighting tanks, the system tunnels, the multi-lancet windows and the lower sections were therefore built with the Drytech Tank technology.

Hotel Hilton, Como

by

Hilton Lake is the largest hotel on Como Lake.

Opened in 2018, it has 170 rooms, two restaurants, a spa with indoor pool, a state-of-the-art fitness center open 24 hours a day and a conference area divided into 6 modular spaces and a total capacity of 300 seats.

On the elegant rooftop on the top floor of the building, guests can enjoy the breathtaking view of the lake directly from an infinity pool – created by Drytech in a single waterproof concrete structure -, from the adjacent lounge bar with terrace overlooking the city gulf. or, on the opposite side, from the solarium with hydromassage.

The project by architects Dario Pietro Cazzaniga and Monica Limonta started with the redevelopment and renovation of two existing buildings: a former brick weaving house, which houses the entrance, reception and lounge bar Taffeta, and a rear body that has been completely redesigned on the large floor-to-ceiling windows of the rooms.

The two main bodies are connected by a modern glass structure that houses the lobby and reinterprets the lakeside tradition of greenhouses and winter gardens.

The whole structure, including the 21 suites, was furnished by the architects Cazzaniga and Limonta.

A global approach that is reflected in the elegant architectural and functional unity of the project and which places the structure at the top of the Lake Como hôtellerie.

Denitrification tanks, Bresso

by

The Bresso Niguarda treatment plant was equipped with a new denitrification basin of 10,800 m³.

Wastewater denitrification is a process for the removal of nitrogenous compounds present in solution by optionally heterotrophic bacteria.

The part of the plant where the process takes place is a rectangular tank divided into two chambers of equal size, connected only superficially, which allow the continuity of the treatment, even when one of them needs to be emptied for maintenance.

Being a single waterproof concrete structure, the Drytech tank has the advantage of allowing maintenance interventions carried out from inside the tanks and immediately verifiable.

Railway underpass, Vigevano

by

A new pedestrian underpass was built under the Vigevano station, which allows travelers to safely access the platforms and connects the two districts on either side of the station.

The waterproof structure was designed and built with the Drytech Tank System, without interrupting railway traffic.

A suspended metal structure was created to support the tracks, closing one track at a time in rotation, diverting circulation to the others from time to time.

The underpass was made of watertight concrete based on the Drytech recipe, defined by Drytech Engineering on the basis of the aggregates present in the concrete mixing plant chosen by the Quadrio company.

The construction site did not affect the normal circulation of the trains and, in turn, Drytech did not interfere with the progress of the works, since its activities are parallel to the construction ones and are in fact removed from the work schedule.
