The Project

The Olympic Village will be built in central Milan and will consist of 6 buildings, each divided into 8 floors. It will cover a total of 46,000 m² with 1,700 rooms.

The NPS® products provided are:

• NPS® Cls beams (with and without steel sides);
• NPS® Slim columns (single-storey, two-storey, and three-storey);
• Hollowcore slabs

Advantages of NPS® Technologies

• Construction time was extremely short (8 months, compared to the 11 months planned with the on-site solution);
• Only 9 workers and 3 cranes used;
• 80 fewer people on site compared to traditional construction methods (labor ratio 1:10 compared to traditional solution);
• Ability to overlap construction phases, thanks to self-supporting structures that make spaces immediately available, without waiting for the 28 days for concrete curing;
• Drastic reduction in formwork and props, with economic and environmental benefits;
• Savings of approximately 160 A/R trips for provisional material;
• Delivery without the need for storage;
• No packaging and no waste required on-site for NPS®.
