The project was developed according to a general sustainability strategy that addresses six main issues: location, materials, water, energy, air and environmental quality.

Strengths

Engineering excellence

Cefla designed and built advanced technological systems for the three towers (A, B, C) and the Podium, ensuring high standards of energy efficiency and environmental comfort.

Environmental sustainability

The adoption of innovative plant engineering solutions has contributed to significantly reducing energy consumption, in line with the project's sustainability objectives.


Architectural integration

The systems have been harmoniously integrated into the architecture of the buildings, preserving the aesthetics and functionality of the spaces.

Background

The project is part of a wider urban redevelopment programme in Milan's Porta Nuova district, aimed at transforming the area into a modern business and residential centre. Previously characterised by brownfield sites, the area has undergone extensive urban and architectural redevelopment.
It is the largest urban redevelopment project ever undertaken in the centre of Milan and represents a unique model of sustainable development in Italy and Europe.

Challenges

  • Complex coordination
    The simultaneous management of multiple buildings with different uses required careful planning and coordination between the various operational teams.
  • Technological integration
    The implementation of advanced plant systems in high-rise buildings posed significant technical challenges, which were overcome thanks to Cefla Engineering's experience and innovation.


Project Tasks

Cefla oversaw the design and construction of the technological systems, including:

  • Air conditioning and ventilation systems
  • Electrical and lighting systems
  • Plumbing and sanitary systems
  • Automation and control systems

The project ensured high standards of energy efficiency and comfort for users.


Implementation

The plant engineering solutions concern:

storage, pumping and primary distribution systems for fire-fighting water lines;

 

water pumping and primary distribution systems; condensation systems for building air conditioning systems;

 

  • control rooms for Towers A-B-C and the Podium;
  • installation of a generator set per building to power general systems, and an additional 4 common generator sets to power more sensitive systems;
  • air conditioning and forced ventilation systems for garages;
  • plumbing systems (a “variable” volume system is used to ensure minimum pumping costs and minimum energy consumption);
  • fire prevention systems;
  • automatic regulation of mechanical and lighting systems;
  • special electrical safety systems.
