Ponte sul fiume Polcevera

Genova (I)

The project is composed of silver anodised aluminum coating and red painted areas, characterized by a very high resistance to corrosion. the important vibrations and structural movements due to the passage of vehicles have been the subject of careful analysis: for this reason, non-bonded panels were fixed independently to the structure by means of punctual brackets. The panels were produced with welded frames suitably shaped to follow the sinuosity of the bridge. Metalltech provided structural calculations, wind tunnel and fatigue tests for structural vibrations.
