THE MORANDI BRIDGE DEMOLITION
The Morandi Bridge demolition is an important reference point in the study of the demolition and dismantling of large infrastructures.
The images of the Polcevera Viaduct will remain forever impressed in the memories of many Italians. The tragic fall on 14 August 2018 has marked the history of a city, of a nation.

The company, highly qualified in industrial demolitions, tackled the task firmly, confident of its professionalism. Believing that its team would have been able to honor the commitment made.
MORANDI BRIDGE DEMOLITION
THE PROJECT'S CRITICAL POINTS
Many critical issues have been tackled:
- the large size and fragility of the structure;
- the stability of the artefact, deeply unbalanced due to the fall;
- the location, in the heart of the city of Genoa;
