A new function for sports facilities

As part of the works for the XX 2006 Winter Olympic Games, we were entrusted with the demolition and excavation works at the Lingotto and Municipal Stadium sites.

In particular, the intervention involved the demolition of the grandstand, the former athletics track, the swimming pool and the sports facilities to make way for the construction of the new Palahockey arena, venue for the Turin 2006 Winter Olympics. All works were completed two months ahead of the scheduled completion date.

The intervention was divided into three construction phases. First, the complete demolition of the entire structure, with a total volume of 20,000 cubic metres and a height of 25 metres; this was followed by the excavation of the entire area, allowing for the subsequent construction of the Palahockey.
A major effort, especially considering the tight deadlines, which involved our staff, machinery and equipment and successfully combined quality, speed and safety.
