Overcoming Site & Structural Constraints

⚠

The Engineering & Logistical Challenge

The property was situated on a 32-degree steep hillside with narrow mountain access roads overlooking Lake Como. Conventional reinforced concrete construction would have required extensive hillside excavation, heavy tower cranes, and months of disruptive road closures.

The SerVilla Pre-Engineered Steel Solution

SerVilla engineered a high-tensile cold-formed steel structure weighing only 16.4 tons (70% lighter than concrete). The framing members were pre-engineered to transport lengths and delivered by medium rigid trucks. A local 4-man construction team guided by one SerVilla bilingual supervisor erected the full structural frame and weather-tight shell in just 12 working days without heavy cranes.

International Freight & Customs Route
Dispatched from SerVilla’s Gebze manufacturing facility under Incoterms DAP. The transport cleared Turkish export customs at Pendik port and sailed via DFDS Ro-Ro ferry directly to Trieste, Italy. Zero import customs tariff was applied under the EU–Türkiye Customs Union A.TR certificate.

Week 4 3

Customs Clearance & International Freight Transit

Issuance of official A.TR Movement Certificate (0% duty) and dedicated freight haulage directly to jobsite.

Week 5–6 4

On-Site Erection with SerVilla Supervisor

Chemical anchor setting on slab, ground floor wall assembly, floor joists, and roof truss erection overseen on site.

Clear Responsibility Boundary

Scope Division on the Bellagio Project

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

Manufactured & Supplied by SerVilla

  • ✓ Complete S350GD+Z275 light steel frame with inkjet-labeled profiles
  • ✓ Full Eurocode structural calculation dossier, assembly plans, and 3D BIM models
  • ✓ Floor joist systems, webbed roof trusses, and connection hardware brackets
  • ✓ Weather-tight exterior magnesium oxide (MgO) / OSB boards and vapor membrane
  • ✓ Dedicated field engineer on-site for foundation anchor and framing sign-off

Executed by Client & Local Contractors

  • • Municipal building permit and local architectural approvals via local engineer
  • • Reinforced concrete foundation slab according to SerVilla anchor layout
  • • Exterior facade finishing (render, timber cladding, or stone veneer)
  • • Interior drylining, HVAC heat pump, electrical wiring, and plumbing

Building on a steep slope over Lake Como seemed impossible with local concrete contractors. SerVilla delivered the entire frame in days, the statics passed Genio Civile without a single objection, and the thermal insulation in winter is extraordinary.

Case Study FAQs

Technical Questions About this Project

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

Yes. Our structural calculations were strictly formatted to Italian NTC 2018 and Eurocodes 1, 3, and 8, including 3D response spectrum seismic analysis and foundation anchor reactions, allowing the client’s Italian structural engineer to deposit the file immediately.

The steel framing members were pre-engineered to transport lengths and delivered via medium rigid trucks. Because the cold-formed steel structure weighs 70% less than reinforced concrete, the framing was erected in 12 days using light lifting gear without heavy tower cranes.

Yes. By integrating 140 mm dense mineral wool inside the stud cavity with 80 mm continuous external insulation (cappotto termico), the wall assembly achieves a U-value of 0.15 W/m²K, easily surpassing Lombardy energy requirements.
