Impressive "Doorway to the South": Porta del Sud railway station, Italy

The following images, photographs, illustrations, videos and media or "Impressive "Doorway to the South": Porta del Sud railway station, Italy" include visual details and information about this product or case study.

The new railway station is characterized by numerous curved shapes. Traffic flows from travellers inspired the architect Zaha Hadid to create this extraordinary shape.

For the very special Porta del Sud architecture, the Italian engineers developed an overall solution for all formwork and scaffolding work.

The project in numbers: 19,000 m² of reinforced concrete slabs and 26,500 m² of wall areas – of which 16,500 m² in architectural concrete quality

For the curved and inclined walls, elements of a special wall formwork were used. The girder wall formwork could be optimally adapted to suit the complex geometries and the high architectural concrete requirements.

The up to 12 m high girder wall formwork was planned and assembled according to project demands.

The props are characterized by a high load-bearing capacity of up to 90 kN. For forming the platform, props were used under the slab tables both as individual props and as shoring towers

Wall formwork and modular scaffolding demonstrated adaptability also for the very challenging architectural concrete components.

Zaha Hadid had designed the station as a bridge that floats 30 m above the railroad tracks and links them together. The futuristic station thus acts as a gateway to the city of Naples
