Overcoming Site & Structural Constraints

The Engineering & Logistical Challenge

Crete is located directly above the Hellenic subduction trench with one of Europe’s highest seismic risk zones (ag = 0.36g). Furthermore, strict municipal tourism regulations prohibited noisy concrete pouring during the upcoming summer holiday season.

The SerVilla Pre-Engineered Steel Solution

SerVilla’s cold-formed steel structure provided extreme seismic safety through its featherweight mass and flexible ductile shear diaphragms. Pre-manufactured dry assembly generated zero dust and noise pollution, allowing completion 3 months faster than reinforced concrete.

International Freight & Customs Route
Direct flatbed road transit from Gebze via Ipsala crossing to Athens, then overnight Ro-Pax ferry to Crete. Zero transshipment or crane transfers required during transit.

Milestones & Schedule

Step-by-Step Project Execution Log

From initial 3D BIM engineering in Istanbul to jobsite handover in Chania.

Week 1 1

Greek Seismic (EAK 2000) & e-Adeies Portal Prep

Structural calculation book prepared according to Greek Seismic Code Zone III. Drawings formatted for the Greek engineer to upload directly to the e-Adeies platform.

Week 2 2

Precision Roll-Forming & Marine Zinc Coating

Manufactured with heavy S350GD structural coils, high zinc galvanization (Z275) and specialized marine salt barrier protection.

Week 3 3

Ipsala Border Crossing & Island Ferry Transfer

Truck cleared Turkish-Greek border at Ipsala in 4 hours under A.TR certificate, drove to Piraeus port, and rolled onto the ferry to Souda port (Chania).

Week 4–5 4

Rapid Dry Erection Before Tourism Season

Complete structural framework and weather-tight calcium silicate sheathing completed in 10 working days, beating the summer tourism construction embargo.

Clear Responsibility Boundary

Scope Division on the Chania Project

Transparent delineation between factory-engineered elements and local on-site trade coordination.

Manufactured & Supplied by SerVilla

  • Complete S350GD+Z275 steel frame with high ductility strap cross-bracing
  • EAK 2000 / Eurocode 8 seismic calculation dossier for e-Adeies portal
  • Weather-tight exterior calcium silicate and fiber-cement sheathing
  • High-performance anti-saline vapor barriers and stainless steel hold-down anchors
  • Dedicated site supervisor on Crete for foundation leveling and erection control

Executed by Client & Local Contractors

  • e-Adeies permit issuance through local Chania civil engineer
  • Concrete raft foundation slab pouring
  • Plastering, local Cretan stone cladding, swimming pool installation
  • Interior electrical, solar thermal and HVAC fit-out

In Crete, earthquake safety is everyone’s number one priority. SerVilla’s steel frame gives us total peace of mind, and we finished the entire villa before the tourist season started.

Case Study FAQs

Technical Questions About this Project

Frequently asked engineering, customs, and assembly questions regarding the Chania delivery.

Il telaio in acciaio S350GD garantisce elevata duttilità e minima massa sismica. Essendo più leggero del 70%, riduce drasticamente le sollecitazioni sismiche.

I profili sono zincati a caldo Z275 e racchiusi all'interno di un involucro a tenuta stagna con protezione C4. L'aria salmastra non tocca mai i montanti strutturali.

Sì. Relazione di calcolo e disegni tecnici sono stati formattati per il portale e-Adeies, consentendo al tecnico locale di ottenere la licenza rapidamente.
