An infrastructure built to support internal logistics, designed to improve workflow and safety for a company operating in the pet food sector. This is the setting of the new industrial tunnel, part of a corporate expansion project in Savigliano (CN), where waterproofing requirements called for highly effective, reliable, and fast-to-apply solutions.

Volteco-Sigillatura-delle-riprese-di-getto-con-WT-CONSTRUCTION

The work was carried out by Edilnord, which selected a complete system supplied by Volteco, combining the Amphibia 3000 Grip waterproofing membrane with the WT Construction profile, a solution specifically designed for sealing pour joint construction joints. The system provided full protection for the entire buried structure, characterised by complex conditions (water table depth: -1.7 m from ground level, excavation depth: -4.45 m) and long-term durability requirements.

In the initial phase, the vertical temporary works were regularised by applying shotcrete (spritz beton), followed by the installation of the Amphibia 3000 Grip waterproofing system on the horizontal plane and the casting of the base slab in a single pour. Waterproofing of the vertical wall faces was then carried out, again using Amphibia 3000 Grip, integrated with the WT Construction hydro-expansive profile installed in a double row, given the wall thickness exceeding 50 cm.

Due to the proximity of existing buildings, two crown beams were installed to ensure the stability of the temporary works, held in position against lateral earth pressure by a series of struts running transversely to the tunnel’s direction of development.

The choice of materials was far from accidental. Amphibia 3000 Grip stands out for its multi-layer capabilities: reactive, self-sealing, and self-healing. This makes it one of the most advanced solutions available for industrial and residential applications where operational continuity and resistance to external agents are top priorities.

But what makes this project even more representative of the sector’s evolution is what happens before the construction site: Volteco’s production process, now extensively digitised. The membrane used in Savigliano is manufactured in a facility where an innovative predictive artificial intelligence technology has been introduced.

These systems monitor production variables in real time and automatically adjust critical parameters to ensure uniformity and precision. The result is consistent quality, a drastic reduction in waste, and materials that perform better with every batch. An advancement that delivers tangible benefits on site as well.

Support for designers

Alongside material quality, Volteco continues to invest in digital services for professionals. BIM diagrams and objects are available to streamline the design phase and minimise the margin for error in complex projects. Complementing this is the “Underground Waterproofing Experience”, an immersive, interactive training tool that allows designers, contractors, and professionals to explore application solutions in a virtual 3D environment.

The Savigliano project thus becomes a symbol of an integrated approach, where high-performance materials, industrial innovation, and digital tools come together to deliver concrete, immediate answers to the real-world needs of the construction sector.
