In the heart of the EUR district in Rome, the EUR Towers complex is coming back to life thanks to a major restoration and conservation initiative.

The project blends architectural heritage with structural innovation, transforming a long-neglected landmark into a modern and efficient business hub.
Steel Project Engineering developed the Detailed Executive Design of the steel structures, amounting to over 6,000 tonnes of steelwork, seamlessly integrating the new steel components with the existing reinforced concrete buildings.

Your interest is a source of pride and motivation for us to keep growing.

Thank you all for your trust.

On October 14, 2025, Steel Project Engineering took part in a training day organized by FPC Italia at the Montebello della Battaglia (PV) headquarters, focused on “Seismic Isolation: the design of anti-seismic devices, analysis of protection systems, and testing required by NTC 2018 standards.”

The event offered valuable technical insights into the design and use of seismic protection devices for buildings and infrastructures, with presentations by Luca Colle (FPC Sales Manager) and Giulio Camossi (Technical Designer).

Key topics included system characteristics, design criteria, applications on bridges and viaducts, and recent developments in rubber and steel anti-seismic devices.

A shared commitment to technical training
Steel Project Engineering attended the event with 17 team members from different departments, demonstrating the company’s commitment to continuous learning and to spreading a shared culture of structural safety.

Collaboration and innovation
The day also offered a chance for direct discussion with FPC’s engineers, exploring the practical use of seismic isolation systems and visiting the ISOLAB® Testing Laboratory and the production plant for rubber devices.

A constructive moment of exchange and technical updating that strengthens the collaboration between the two companies, both dedicated to safer and more innovative structural solutions.

In closing, a selection of images from the event kindly provided by FPC.

Groundbreaking Ceremony for the New Railway Industrial Plant in Arbedo-Castione, near Bellinzona (Switzerland).
The construction site officially opens for a major project of strategic importance to the Swiss railway sector, aimed at strengthening the region’s productive and technological infrastructure.

Steel Project Engineering is proud to take part in this initiative, developing – on behalf of the OFT Consortium (CSC, Sottas, WeBuild) – the Detailed Structural Design of the elevation structures for buildings B1, B2, B3, B4, B5 and B6.

This assignment represents an opportunity to apply our specialized expertise in the structural design of steel buildings, for a project of great technical and territorial significance.

Work continues on the construction of the new Manzoni Bridge along State Road SS36, a strategic infrastructure for mobility between Lecco and Pescate and part of the modernization works in preparation for the 2026 Milano-Cortina Winter Olympics.

The 772-metre-long bridge runs alongside the existing one and will enable the expansion of State Road 36 with an additional traffic lane toward Pescate-Lecco and a dedicated cycle path.

Steel Project Engineering developed the structural Executive Design of the Variant for the bridge and access ramps on behalf of Aleandri SpA, the contractor, and the erection and launching design of the steel decks on behalf of MBM SpA, the steelwork fabricator.

The bridge consists of three independent composite steel-concrete decks with main spans up to 100 m crossing the Adda River, extensively using Corten steel for decks, precast slabs, and side parapets — a material chosen for its durability and harmonious landscape integration.

The erection phases included nose-launching for the two 100-m river spans and bottom-up lifting for the remaining approach spans on both the Pescate and Lecco sides.

This achievement confirms that, even in complex operating conditions and confined work areas, targeted and coordinated design ensures compliance with schedules and full construction efficiency.

During the month of August, the installation of the new bridges over the Martesana canal in Milan was completed, as part of the extension of Metrotram Line 7 between Crescenzago and Cascina Gobba.

These are two 35-meter-long steel decks, each weighing approximately 135 tons, designed respectively for the tramway line and for road traffic. The bridges were lifted and installed in a single hoist using a large-capacity lattice boom mobile crane.

Steel Project Engineering, on behalf of #BIT S.p.A., was responsible for the construction design and erection engineering of the two lifted decks, as well as the design of a multi-span truss pedestrian and cycle bridge, still to be installed.

An important step for sustainable mobility in Milan: completion of works is expected in 2026, with service activation planned for 2027.

Completion of the main assembly and launching operations of the steel deck for the new cycle-pedestrian footbridge over the Oberhafen Canal in Hamburg!

This is a cycle-pedestrian footbridge with an overall length of 135 m, divided into three spans of 30 m, 75 m and 30 m. The total width of the deck structure is 7.30 m.

The structure consists of a painted S355W steel central box girder with a rectangular cross-section, 2,500 mm wide and with a variable height ranging from about 800 mm to 1,400 mm. The flanges of the box are made of steel plates stiffened by longitudinal trapezoidal ribs. Triangular-section cantilevers, tapered towards the ends, support the orthotropic deck plate stiffened by rectangular-section longitudinal ribs.

The deck is supported by inclined struts which, together with the piers, form Y-shaped frames with a box-section configuration. The connection between the deck and the abutment-beam is ensured by a stainless steel plate.

Steel Project Engineering, on behalf of MBB – Metallic Bridges of Belgium, developed the construction design and the erection design of this structure, which is particularly complex from both a static and geometric point of view, adopting an unusual lifting method due to the site constraints.

The deck was divided into 5 macro-segments (A, B, C, D, E): initially, the steel piers P1 and P2 and the temporary piers were installed, on which the external segments C and D were assembled. Meanwhile, the macro-segments A, B, and E were assembled in a dedicated area adjacent to the canal. Finally, over three consecutive days, segments A, B, and E were transported and erected using a floating crane. Particularly delicate was the erection of the closing segment E, for which suitable guiding and adjustment systems were provided.

We are proud to have contributed to a project that adds value to the city of Hamburg, the result of the synergy between our team and the partners involved (the firm FZ), whom we thank for their collaboration. We also thank MBB for the trust placed in us and for providing the photographic material.
