The last lots to be demolished by Armofer are the pavilions in the so-called 'Cerniera area' (65,000 square metres along the busy Viale Eginardo) including the RAI pavilion. They are located a few metres from the New Convention Centre in Milan, just as the city is hosting meetings of the European Semester, during the Italian Presidency. The first of the new towers is still under constructionthe Allianz tower, designed by Arata Isozaki. Just below the construction site Milan quickly digs the new Line 5 of the metro, with TBM technology. The Tre Torri stop, the heart of the new business district, will soon be built here. A complex construction site, therefore, that must organise its work with multiple and delicate boundary conditions and interferences. Obviously respecting the agreed timetables and the highest safety standards.
Armofer adopts innovative technologies for controlling emissions, noise, consumption and brings in the most powerful and sophisticated means for demolition, which takes place after careful and thorough environmental clearance of the areas. The environmental management of the site also includes, starting with selective stripout, the recovery of a very high percentage of materials of results.
In the field, a fleet of five excavators, the largest of which (130 tonne) equipped with a 30 m boom and 30 q iron shear is dedicated to the primary demolition of steel load-bearing structures, beams and pillars) at 15 m height.
