Our works at CTA 2022

After the presentation at the CTA 2022, we illustrate our work regarding the “Acciaierie di Taranto” plant in which, on behalf of Fincantieri Infrastructure, we took care of the assembly project of the “Parchi Materie Prime” roof.

Due to the timing of implementation and the complexity of the assembly methodologies, this assignment represented a great challenge for our work team.

The safe confinement steel structure for the OMO (raw materials) park located inside the “Acciaierie d’Italia” factory in Taranto has plan dimensions of 110 x 385m and is made up of 63 trussed arches, spaced by 6.20 m and with a maximum height of approximately 42m. Because of the erection phases, the structure was divided into 9 macro-modules, each consisting of 7 arches. Once the central segments of each macro-module are assembled, they are raised by means of 4 strand jacks connected to a horizontal truss beam which can slide between vertical guides placed on the lifting towers. Once the assembly of a single macro-module was completed, it was placed on trolleys and then pushed towards its final position by means of a couple of strand jacks.

This project, together with our other works that we will show you in the coming weeks, was selected to participate in the best design award at CTA 2022, which took place from 29 September to 1st October in Francavilla al Mare (Chieti).
