Our precision, reliability and drive for innovation have led us to be selected for the supply of MTR® beams for the construction of a new church in San Girolamo, a neighbourhood on the northern coast of Bari. With the positioning of the self-supporting MTR® A beams, the roof of the place of worship began to take shape. The installation was completed to a perfect standard, in compliance with the planned timelines and budgets.
The architectural design of the San Girolamo church is anything but simple. As can be seen from the render below, the shape of this space will be irregular: wide and low at the entrance, it will become narrower and taller towards the Chapel of the Blessed Sacrament. Light will pour in from above through large skylights along the roof. Thanks to the MTR® beams, it was possible to achieve reduced cross-sections over long spans, impossible to obtain with traditional construction systems.
The dimensions required by the architectural design were complex. Had the beams been cast in situ, the dimensions would have been considerably larger. By using the self-supporting MTR® A beams, shoring and formwork at height were eliminated. This brought numerous advantages: greater safety on site, speed of execution, reduced labour, eco-sustainability, and certainty of costs and timelines. The MTR® System represents a winning alternative to traditional construction systems.
“With reference to the work carried out at our construction site in Bari for the Parish Church of San Girolamo currently under construction, we wish to express our gratitude for the effective collaboration you provided, and in particular a special thank-you for the diligence of your technical staff, who assisted in addressing certain structural issues with the building’s structural engineers. Excellent organisation for the unloading and installation operations, also thanks to your on-site technical supervisor.”
