New Hampton Hotel by Hilton (Italy)

To realise the New Hampton Hotel by Hilton, on the island of Tronchetto in Venice, a precast concrete structure has been designed, consisting of three aboveground floors plus a roof-storey to be used for services and facilities. In addition, a basement parking space has been designed to provide the hotel with a functional parking area.

Because of the particular hydraulic, geological and geotechnical site nature, a special attention has been paid to sub-structures, focusing on both the spread foundation and the piles system.

Due to the hydraulic site conditions, the groundwater being virtually at gound level, piles have been designed to work also in tension acting as anchors to prevent the building from floating during the construction phases.
