The ICF ITALIA construction system has been adopted for the reconstruction of two school buildings in Emilia Romagna.
Construction of school in Novi (MO)
Following a tender by the Emilia Romagna Region, the construction of 28 schools was contracted in 2012 in the aftermath of the earthquake that affected the region. More precisely, the contract was for the construction of new school buildings to replace severely damaged schools and stipulated that the buildings should be constructed using systems that perform well in terms of environmental sustainability, speed of execution, and seismic safety.
In this regard, the construction system of ‘load-bearing walls in reinforced concrete made within polystyrene formwork’, such as ICF, was explicitly contemplated in the contract specifications. For this ambitious tender, 310 offers were submitted by 91 companies from all over Italy. The companies that were awarded the projects (in our case, the A.T.I. led by BRC SPA from Genoa) had only 50 days to start and complete the work, an objective made possible thanks to the use of the ICF ITALIA construction system.
Construction of school in Poggio Renatico (FE)
The school buildings that were constructed using ICF ITALIA panels are located in the municipalities of Novi (Modena) and Poggio Renatico (Ferrara) and have a gross floor area of 3,100 and 2,000 square meters respectively.
