Allianz Stadium Juventus – Turin

WORK DETAILS.

ASACERT – QUALITALIA performed the in-progress Technical Control service for the design and construction works of the new Allianz Stadium of Juventus in Turin. Allianz Stadium-owned by Juventus Football Club-is Italy’s sixth-largest stadium by capacity (41,507 spectators) and one of four Italian stadiums that fall under UEFA Category 4 for its high technical level. The Turin soccer facility stands on the site of the existing Stadio delle Alpi, of which it reused part of the underground structures; the project subject to the Technical Control carried out by ASACERT – QUALITALIA covers a total area of 355,000 square meters (45,000 square meters dedicated to the stadium, 155,000 square meters to services, 34,000 square meters to commercial activities and 30,000 square meters to green areas and squares). Allianz Stadium is Italy’s first totally barrier-free and highly eco-friendly stadium, thanks to the innovative and cutting-edge design and construction solutions chosen by the client. The rectangular-shaped main facility is surrounded by two half-ellipses; foundations and structures were made of reinforced concrete and steel, while the roof of the stands is suspended at the four corners by steel cables stretched over two large flagpoles 90 meters high and was made of a curved membrane shape that is partly transparent and partly opaque. The exterior of the stadium has a continuous surface cladding of curved-trending aluminum louvers continuously connected to the roofing membrane.

SERVICE

Juventus F.C. S.p.a. has entrusted ASACERT – QUALITALIA with the task of carrying out the Technical Control service in progress with the aim of expressing an assessment on the adequacy of the design choices and implementation of the works in relation to the fulfillment of the requirements of stability and mechanical strength of the structural elements and durability, maintainability and useful life of the waterproofing of the roofs of the work. The amount of work commissioned was €78,000,000. The Technical Control service carried out by the ASACERT – QUALITALIA team of technicians aimed at assessing the stability and mechanical strength requirements of structural elements had the objective of normalizing the risk of partial or total ruin and serious defects of the structure, provided they occurred on parts intended by their very nature to be long-lasting and resulting from a soil defect or construction defect. Reference was also made to the effects of deformations and displacements of the main structures on horizontal (floors) and vertical (facade elements, partitions) internal and external partitions and related plant systems, the installation, disassembly or replacement of which cannot be carried out without demolishing or damaging the work. The Technical Control carried out covered the following technological units (with reference to UNI 10721 and UNI 8290):
  • Load-bearing structures
  • Foundation structures
  • Vertical and horizontal elevation structures
  • Definitive soil retaining/support structures
  • Connecting facilities (stairs and elevator shafts)
  • Single or isolated structural elements (towers, poles, chimneys, etc.).
  • Roofs (limited to load-bearing elements or those with precise structural function).
The ASACERT – QUALITALIA Technical Control service referred to the assessment of durability, maintainability and useful life of the waterproofing of the roofs of the work was aimed at normalizing the risk of the presence of defects and errors in the construction of the waterproofing system that could cause the failure of water tightness. Checks were carried out with specific reference to individual materials, products and components and functional parts of the work considered with a view to maintaining performance within acceptable levels by averting the need for extraordinary maintenance.

RESULT

At the end of the service, ASACERT – QUALITALIA was able to express its positive opinion on the adequacy of the design choices and implementation of the works in relation to the fulfillment of the requirements of stability and mechanical strength of the structural elements and durability, maintainability and useful life of the waterproofing of the roofs of the work.
