The rack has a height of 13 m (43 ft), a width of 14 m (46 ft), and a length of 120 m (394 ft). Cross struts are attached vertically every 14 m (46 ft) to ensure transverse bracing.
The scaffolding structure consists of aluminum trusses with heights varying between 1.64 ft and 3.28 ft as well as horizontal steel beams, columns, railings, and bracings. All elements are based on the PlusEight system.
Studio Rota Nodari has extensive experience in civil and industrial project development. For many years, it has designed temporary and permanent steel and aluminum structures such as tensile structures, scaffolding, platforms, and prefabricated roofs for various events throughout Italy and abroad.
In 2016, NEDCON received an assignment to install the steelwork for two fully-automated distribution centers for two supermarket companies. One distribution center is located in Michigan and the other distribution center is in Alberta, Canada.
The "Pneumatic Wedge Method" is a new method for the construction of double-curved concrete surfaces using pneumatic formwork. The advantage of this method is that elaborate structures for molds and scaffolding are no longer needed.
Using the "Pneumatic Wedge Method", the Vienna University of Technology has built a double-curved concrete shell as part of a research project. The deformation process and the final structural conditions have been checked with RFEM.
To perform renovations of the steeple of the St. Martinus parish in Kerpen, Germany, a scaffold was required. The designers had to meet a special challenge, as the frame construction had to be set up at the spire top without applying pressure anchors, which are usually used in scaffolding.
The grate scaffolding of the biomass power plant in Berlin-Neukölln, Germany, is a structure with a high temperature load.
The engineering office of Jürgen Ehlenz from Beckingen, a long-time Dlubal customer, was responsible for the structural analysis of the grate scaffolding with moving parts, as well as for the construction and design of the piping.
