Allianz Isozaki Tower, 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.

Porta Nuova, Milan

The masterplan of Milano Porta Nuova was signed by the Kohn Pedersen Fox studio of London, while the executive plan is the work of the Arquitectonica IC of Miami and m²P Associati of Milan, for the commissioning of Hines Italia and Galotti SpA.

3,000 m² are destined for the Municipality of Milan to make it a cultural center. The four underground levels, made with the Drytech Tank waterproofing system, house parking spaces for 2,000 cars.

Drytech has built 43,730 m² of waterproof underground structures with the White Tank System, collaborating with the designers of Arup Italia in Milan and coordinating with the CMB company for the preparatory activities for waterproofing which, being parallel to those of the construction site, are in fact been removed from the work calendar.

Denitrification tanks, Bresso

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.
