As principal in temporary joint venture with the Perugia-based company SAB, Incide has been awarded the contract by the Italian Ministry of Justice – Department of Prison Administration for the restoration and conservation of the former “Riccardo Pitteri” school in Gorizia.
The project covers a total area of approximately 2,595 square metres and involves an investment of €7.46 million for the works, with €941,000 earmarked for engineering and architectural services.
The assignment entrusted to RTP includes the drafting of the technical-economic feasibility study, the executive project and, optionally, the supervision of works and safety coordination during the execution phase.
The building, declared a cultural heritage site in 2006, is located in the urban centre of Gorizia and has three floors above ground, an attic and a basement. The property and the large tree-lined area with parking will be redeveloped to house administrative, management and accommodation functions in support of the adjacent prison.
This operation will increase the internal space available for treatment and detention functions, optimising the overall management of activities.
The interventions planned for a project of historical and functional value
The project involves a series of works aimed at ensuring safety, functionality and sustainability, while respecting the historical value of the building:
- Structural and anti-seismic interventions: consolidation of walls, floors and roofs, replacement of wooden floors, reinforcement of the internal staircase and wall joints.
- Conservative restoration: restoration of valuable architectural elements, friezes and historic doors, refurbishment of flooring, new reversible partitions.
- Systems and technologies: new electrical, plumbing, fire prevention, air conditioning, data network and video surveillance systems, installation of an internal lift.
- External works: reorganisation of car parks, green areas and fences, lighting and irrigation, building and plant connections with the nearby prison.
Everything will be developed in accordance with the Minimum Environmental Criteria (CAM), with particular attention to energy efficiency and the integration of renewable sources.
Thanks to its multidisciplinary experience and integrated approach in the fields of structural engineering, plant engineering and environmental sustainability, Incide Engineering will offer strategic support in the enhancement of a historic building that will become an integral part of the city’s prison system.
This assignment confirms Incide’s ability to operate in complex contexts, combining conservative restoration, cultural heritage protection, technological innovation and energy efficiency.
