Structures

One of Alpina's typical fields of activity is structural engineering. A wide range of structures have been designed by the company, all of considerable importance for the relevance and nature of the problems addressed.
Alpina uses sophisticated modelling methods for its structural calculations. Their specialized fields of operation are seismic analysis of complex structures in three-dimensions and verification of the issues concerning the interaction between the ground and the structure.
The areas in which Alpina works in structural design and planning concern works associated with transport infrastructure, bridges and viaducts, hydraulic constructions such as dams, intake structures, pipelines, and building structures.
Recently Alpina has designed the structures of the multifunction platform (“Podio”) of Urban Plan Garibaldi-Repubblica in Milan along with the Underground line 5 that crosses it, coordinating the requirements of the new Garibaldi station of the same M5 line, the pre-existing infrastructure in the area, such as the Milano Garibaldi – Greco railway line, the city rail link, Underground line 2, and the requirements expressed by the architect of the Urban Plan buildings, Cesar Pelli.
