Retaining wall construction reaches 75% completion

Building on the frontline slope of Lake Lugano is a privilege that demands precision craftsmanship and uncompromising engineering solutions.

At our Campione d’Italia site, we have reached the final stretch of one of the most labor-intensive stages of the substructure phase: the construction of monolithic retaining walls is now 75% complete.

The Alpine lakeshore region and its foothills present complex hydrogeological conditions: steep topography, bedrock formations alternating with unstable soil layers, and active underground streams flowing toward the lake. Consequently, site stabilization and design required exceptional focus, precise load modeling, and detailed engineering calculations.

The reinforced concrete structures serve a dual purpose:

  • Stabilization: Offsetting mountain mass pressure, preventing natural soil displacement, and eliminating terrain deformation.

  • Drainage: Directing underground streams away from the building footprint to protect the foundation from flooding and structural degradation.

The project is built in strict adherence to European building codes, meeting the highest standards of safety and quality.

Thank you for choosing reliability. Moving forward.
