Description
Designed by Antonio Citterio Patricia Viel (ACPV) Architects, the Symbiosis Business District is a sprawling urban revitalization project of the Porta Romana-Vettabbia district in southeastern Milan, which covers an area of 130,000 m2 (>32 acres). The development encompasses 125,000 m2 of new office space, the regeneration of Porta Romana railway yard, and 25,000 m2 of parks and natural spaces. The Piazza Adriano Olivetti, named after the renowned Italian industrialist and engineer, was unveiled in 2018 as the starting point of the Symbiosis business hub project.
Products Used
To protect the below-grade structures of the new buildings from groundwater penetration, COVIVIO, a European real estate developer, specified PENETRON ADMIX, a crystalline waterproofing admixture, for the concrete mix for the below-grade concrete structures. PENEBAR SW, a swellable waterstop, was also used to permanently seal all construction joints. The technical team from Penetron Italia worked with CMB CARPI, the general contractor, to ensure an optimal concrete mix for the below-grade concrete foundation structures – including the foundation slabs, retaining walls, and elevator pits.
