The name Bosco Verticale means vertical forest, referring to a design by the Boeri Studio as part of the Porta Nuova Project of the developer Hines Italia SGR. An international jury from the Museum of Frankfurt gave it the 2014 International Highrise Award as the world’s most beautiful and innovative tower block. We worked on the hotel inside the building to improve the fire-reaction of the wooden structures. To be precise, nearly 4,000m2 of wooden strips were treated for which a special test was carried out using the SBI Method at the Istituto Giordano in Bellaria.

Bangkok Airport (BKK), whose official name is Suvarnabhumi Airport, meaning Golden Land, is the Thai airport with the distinctive wave-shaped roof designed by Helmut Jahn that opened in September 2006. The project involved work on a number of sections of the airport to increase the fire-resistance of the iron structures using reactive paint.

creating 16 wooden roofs for 8 villas and 8 self-catering apartments on the island of Dellis Cay in the Caribbean archipelago the Turks & Caicos. The project designer was the architect Piero Lissoni. The challenge was to create a treatment that would satisfy the aesthetic needs of the designer and contractor while guaranteeing a long-life in terms of both climatic and biological protection. On the second front, a special study was made to ensure resistance to termite attack.

The imposing building that is the HQ of the well-known metalwork company Stahlbau Pichler is located in Bolzano. We carried out work to increase the fire-resistance of the iron structures using reactive paint.

Applied protection system: Amotherm Wood WSB Protection class R 60 for a wooden roof, consisting of girders and secondary girders.
Protective coating compliant with fire class B-s1, d0

Examples of various compressed and prestressed reinforced concrete structures protected
with the intumescent reactive paint Amotherm Concrete WB. The protected spaces are
used for various types of activities: logistic warehouse, garage, offices.

Refurbishment of the building Palazzo dell’ex Unione Militare in Rome, whose austere lines betray its early 20th Century origins.
The refurbishment of the building is the work of Studio Fuksas and the project was carried out by Stahlbau Pichler for the Benetton Group which then sold the building to the H&M Group. The Fuksas design recovered all the original features of the building that time had worn away, restoring the building’s integrity and noble origins.
Our hand in the project was to increase the fire-resistance of the iron structures using reactive paint on the elements on view and plaster on the false ceilings.

The iconic Teatro La Fenice, the Venice opera house located in Sestiere di San Marco in campo San Fantin remains the most high-profile lyric theatre in that city. Twice destroyed and rebuilt, it is home to major opera seasons, symphony concerts and the International Festival of Contemporary Music. On 29 January 1996 a devastating fire, the work of arsonists, destroyed the theatre. The Venice firefighters spent all night tackling the blaze. The entire world wept at the loss of one of the most beautiful opera houses on the planet, whose superb acoustics have made it a shining star of the world of Italian and European opera, music and culture. Out of the pain of that loss grew the desire to rebuild this historic theatre, inspired by the saying “the way it was, where it was” coined for the rebuilding of the Saint Mark’s bell tower. Immediately after the fire all the necessary work was carried out to prevent any hazards for public safety. Ten Italian and overseas firms took part in the call for tenders for the reconstruction. After some appeals, A.T.I. Holzmann was awarded the contract for the design by architect Aldo Rossi. The theatre’s inaugural week took place from the14th to the 21st December 2003.
