    dives OFI 2

    600 tons of TX Millennium white cement, incorporating titanium dioxide, produced at Italcementi’s cement works of Rezzato, Brescia, Italy;
    2,600 tons of aggregates obtained by grinding white Carrara Marble;
    550 tons of special mortars for executing the structural joints between the precast elements and for grouting both cable sheaths and post-tensioned bars by injection;
    8 kilometers of post-tensioning steel cables;
    7,5 kilometers of post-tensioning steel bars;
    300 design drawings to cope with the building’s structural complexity, the large variety of block geometries and all construction details.
    12,000 man hours devoted to studying, researching and eventually developing the TX Millennium cement;
    23,000 man hours work from the design stage through to execution.

    7,000 plus visiting engineers and architects to the building site during the variousconstruction phases confirming the complexity of the construction process and the innovative solutions adopted.

    TECHNICAL DETAILS

    Tipology: 3 storey low – rise building
    Construction materials: concrete
    Facade materials: concrete
    Facade system: exposed structure
    Facade color: white
    Architectural style: structural expressionism
    27.43 mt: the height of the entrance hall
    15,291: the cubic meters of concrete used for the construction of the building for a total weight of 36,741 tons
    61 m: the length of the pylon structure with an inclination of 41.64°
    85.34 mt: the length of the cable-stayed pedestrian Reiman Bridge”
    72: no. of the steel ribs making up the Burke brise soleil, the movable, wing-like sun screen
    8-32 mt: the length range of the ribs
    66 mt: the wingspan at its widest point
    9.5 mm: the particle size of the aggregates used in the mix design instead of the standard 19.13mm
    Because of the high amount of steel reinforcement required in the concrete used for the Pavilion , a standard particle size distribution aggregate would not be able to fill the interstices between reinforcement.
