Foundation works have begun on a new school building - Acquasanta Terme (AP).

Works have begun on the preparation of the reinforced concrete foundation works for the new secondary school “Nicola Amici” of Acquasanta Terme in the province of Ascoli Piceno.

The raised construction will be developed entirely from lamellar wood using the Platform Frame type technology, in order to obtain an extremely anti-seismic structure. The school building develops over a single floor and has a total surface area of around 400 m2 plus approximately 50 m2 of overhanging structure at the large windows, so as to ensure shading of the glass panels whilst maintaining great light in the interior rooms.

Special attention has been paid to the building cladding, which is very much insulated, and the equally high-performing technological systems; these details will make the energy class of the construction, according to the new standards, A-4, i.e. making it an NZEB (Nearly Zero Energy Building). The school will be one of the very first public structures to have this energy class.

Another characteristic is the fire resistance of the construction, which is R60.

Once the foundation works have been completed, the wooden structures will be installed, almost entirely prefabricated at our plants so as to ensure great precision of the various elements (walls, beams, etc.) and careful production control. The prefabrication of the construction will make assembly of the work on site extremely quick.
