Steel Project Engineering visits the Gare du Parc des Expositions construction site – Grand Paris Express

In recent days, Eng. Giovanni Costa, Eng. Leonardo Balocchi, Eng. Simone Pardini, and Eng. Simona Paone travelled to Paris for an on-site visit to the Gare du Parc des Expositions construction site, one of the key infrastructures of the new Line 17 of the Grand Paris Express.

Steel Project Engineering Srl is involved in the project as the company responsible, on behalf of Cimolai SpA, for the Detailed Design of the “Gare du Parc des Expositions” station and the pedestrian bridge connecting the surrounding areas to the existing railway and to the Parc des Expositions. The company is also in charge of the erection design of the station building, the pedestrian bridge structures, and the steel decks of the line works.

The station, intersected by the metro line viaduct (independent from the main building), is developed across 4 levels, with a total length of approximately 181 meters (without expansion joints) and a width of around 28 meters. A complex structure that combines steel elements, reinforced concrete works, and high-end engineering finishes such as the EFTE cushion roofing.

The pedestrian bridge, covering approximately 1,600 m², features a slender and articulated geometry, with ramps, elevators, and covered walkways. To ensure structural safety and dynamic comfort, specific dynamic analyses have been conducted to calibrate the TMD (Tuned Mass Dampers) and damping systems required for user comfort during operation.

We thank Cimolai for their trust and for the warm hospitality and welcome.

An article dedicated to the new tram bridge over the Scaricatore Canal, part of the SIR3 metrobus line in Padua, was recently published in the journal Costruzioni Metalliche.

The Executive Design, developed by Steel Project Engineering, involved a complex structural and erection study for a single-span truss of 89.6 meters, entirely built with S355 steel.

The article outlines the challenges faced and the design solutions adopted for both operation and cantilever launching, within a particularly complex geometric and construction context.

We are pleased to announce that Giada Brizzi, a member of our team since 2024, has successfully completed the BIM Specialist course, passing the final exam certified by ICMQ.

Congratulations to Giada on this important milestone — we are confident she will continue her training journey and achieve new goals in technical growth and professional development.

Steel Project Engineering reaffirms its commitment to the professional growth of its collaborators: investing in talent and continuous training is the key to generating value and creating future opportunities.

Since November 2024, Steel Project Engineering has embarked on an ambitious digital transformation journey aimed at integrating artificial intelligence into structural design processes. The initiative, titled “AI+ENGINEERING: Sustainable Innovation in Structural Processes,” began with an internal training cycle involving all technical staff, enabling a conscious and strategic use of generative and predictive AI tools.

From that moment on, the synergy between engineering expertise and intelligent technologies has grown stronger month after month. Today, artificial intelligence supports the team daily in drafting technical documentation, standardizing recurring content, managing data, and—above all—in participating in public tenders, a field where operational efficiency has become a crucial competitive factor.

The results are tangible: increased speed, reduced operational stress, a higher number of tenders submitted, and a significant improvement in the quality of the materials presented.

AI+ENGINEERING represents a true cultural, technological, and sustainable shift that places Steel Project Engineering at the forefront of structural design innovation in Italy.

We are sharing the post from Hydea announcing the approval of the Executive Project for the first phase of the new Emergency and Admission Department (DEA) at the San Giovanni di Dio Hospital ( Torregalli) , Florence.
This is a strategic intervention that will strengthen emergency response capacity and improve the efficiency of healthcare services in the Florence area.

This important milestone was made possible thanks to the joint effort of a multidisciplinary team of professionals, united by the goal of providing citizens with a modern, efficient, and cutting-edge healthcare infrastructure.
Steel Project Engineering, acting as principal of the design partnership (RTP) with Hydea (lead firm), L+Partner, Beta Progetti, and Eng. Francesco Gianola (partners), was responsible for the structural and geotechnical design of the main building, the connective body linking to the existing Vespucci Pavilion, and the stabilization works of the hillside upstream from the intervention area.

The new DEA will be housed in a building covering 11,000 square meters and will serve as a benchmark for emergency care, with 4,000 square meters dedicated to the emergency room and the capacity to accommodate up to 50,000 visits per year.

📌 The New Pavilion

The project includes four levels, one of which is underground, and provides functional integration with the existing facilities through two main distribution axes:

🔹 West – access for external users aligned with the entrance gallery
🔹 East – connection with the Vespucci Pavilion for internal flows

Last week, one of the partners of Steel Project Engineering, Eng. Enrico Zambella, along with a company collaborator, Eng. Andrea Manzi, attended Data Center Nation Milan 2025, held in Milan.

Their participation was kindly made possible by an invitation from Pichler Projects Srl, to whom we extend our sincere thanks for the opportunity to engage in technical exchange and updates.

The event brought together key players in the sector — designers, builders, operators, and investors — for an intense day of meetings, thematic workshops, and networking focused on innovation, sustainability, and advanced solutions for the data center industry.

Below are some photos from the event, accompanied by excerpts from the official poster.

On this day, we want to wish all women a wonderful International Women’s Day!

At Steel Project Engineering, we believe that every day is an opportunity to celebrate the strength, intelligence, and creativity of women who enrich our world and our industry (even though, unfortunately, they are still significantly underrepresented in terms of numbers).

We are proud to support gender equality and enthusiastically welcome applications from talented and passionate women.

If you meet the requirements and wish to be part of a dynamic and innovative team, please apply by clicking here.

Whether you are a woman or a man, what matters to us are your skills and enthusiasm.

Remember, our doors are always open! Join Steel Project and help build a better future with us.

The bridge over the Serchio River has strategic importance and is considered essential for the Piana di Lucca. Once completed, this new infrastructural connection will not only significantly improve the area’s viability and safety but will also serve as a crucial link between the two banks of the Serchio, connecting SP1 ‘Francigena’ (via per Camaiore) with State Road 12 of the Brenner.

The assembly phases of the 100-meter span (P5-P6) and the 80-meter span on the Brenner side are currently being completed. Once these operations and the preparation of the ford in the riverbed are finished, the decks will be transported using SPMT to their final planimetric location.

Last week, President Giani, along with Infrastructure Councillor Stefano Baccelli, the President of the Province of Lucca Marcello Pierucci, Provincial Councillor Luca Menesini, and the technicians, conducted a site inspection.
