Civil engineering

We design works that fit into the mountain environment while keeping their impact to a minimum. Our vision is to innovate within tradition, with coordinated, multidisciplinary skills.

The vision that guides our work is “innovating within tradition”: innovative design solutions, built on solid engineering foundations, for structures that fit into the environment with minimal impact and last for future generations.

Civil engineering is an extremely varied field and, being multidisciplinary by nature, draws on several branches: geotechnics, which studies the physical and mechanical properties of soils; structures, which predict how a construction behaves under external forces and internal stresses; hydraulics, which deals with protecting and using water resources and defending the land against water-related events; infrastructure, from the design of roads, bridges and dams to safety checks on existing works; and transport systems, from the local to the international scale.

Areaquattro tackles this complexity with a specialist, multidisciplinary approach. The team is made up of professionals and partners of proven skill and reliability: engineers with different specialisations, geologists, architects, surveyors, foresters and environmental scientists work together in a coordinated way. For our clients we are a single point of contact, guaranteeing the quality of the result, the budget and the schedule.

Areas of work

Land

  • land-use planning
