On May 8, the Italian State Police celebrated its  157° anniversary in the beautiful location of Piazza del Popolo in Rome.

For this special event, in collaboration with ABC Srl-Rome who supplied and set up the structure, Ianiro-Alutek designed and implemented an impressive grandstand with roof.

Just a few but significant figures show the impressive size of the tribune and its eye-catching look:the extension of the roof was 60m, with a height of 16m and a front overhang  of 18m !

This particular design gave the grandstand a slender and elegant look. Consisting of over 480 elements, the structure integrated standard, heavy duty and high load Trusses.

The grid consisted of different type of trusses : square 29cm and 40cm, flat 40cm, and the new 52x40cm rectangular trusses with fork connections. The structure was stabilized by 14 I-beams IPE designed on purpose for this project to ground the main load-bearing columns. The foundations had a weight of about 12 tons, making necessary the provision of a ballast of 160.000kg.

The event, that hosted the highest dignities, represents a valid example of Ianiro Alutek capability to design very large and complex structures by the ultimate technology, though keeping an elegant design. Thanks to the integration of standard trusses with custom designed elements, Ianiro Alutek offers great flexibility and effective solutions to the most demanding customer’s needs.
