CMB Società cooperativa Muratori e Braccianti di Carpi

Work in progress in Bolzano!

On November 5, representatives from the National Agency for Railway, Road, and Motorway Safety (ANSFISA) conducted an inspection at the CMB construction site for the undergrounding of the railway line passing through the city of Andria in Puglia. The visit was organized in collaboration with Ferrotramviaria S.p.a., the same Infrastructure Division, and CMB. The main goal was to examine in detail all procedures required for the commissioning of the Andria South - Andria North section. It also provided an opportunity to explore key aspects of the project, such as the comprehensive "railway system," infrastructure interoperability, and the Technical Specifications for Interoperability that ensure safety and operational continuity across Europe. Accompanied by Site Manager Vittore Buzzi and colleague Fabio Impera, participants reviewed the project documents and inspected key ongoing activities. These included the laying of anti-vibration mats and ballast along the railway line, the installation of metal frameworks for sound absorbing panels and guardrails, as well as reinforced concrete and masonry work at Andria stations, including waterproofing, external arrangements, and civil installations along the line.

This week, during the #DaluxSummit2024 in Copenhagen, CMB Società cooperativa Muratori e Braccianti di Carpi - has been invited to participate to a Vertical Session together with the 15 biggest European super users. These Vertical Sessions are specialized forums that bring together Dalux super-users from various markets to share insights and best practices. Our colleague, Nicholas Carissimi, had the chance to exchange knowledge and experience with professionals from different countries, all united by the shared goal of advancing Dalux and unlocking its full potential. This marks the beginning of a one-year program where CMB Carpi will collaborate, among the other things, closely with the skilled team at Dalux.

The “Safe by Vocation” project will be presented at "Tavolo 81" in Imola during a meeting scheduled for November 7. Moira Masper, an organizational development consultant, and Massimiliano Cerone, CMB Project Manager, will share their experiences on the Unipol Tower project in Milan. Today, “Safe by Vocation” has been implemented by CMB on 26 construction sites, with 4 still ongoing. Approximately 40,000 workers have been involved, and observed behaviors have reached an estimated total of 400,000.

It's time to take stock of the ambitious redevelopment project that CMB is undertaking for WaltherPark in the heart of Bolzano. This is the largest private construction site in the history of Alto Adige/South Tyrol, both in terms of scale and the 600 million euros invested. With a 50-meter “elevation difference,” the site spans levels from the fourth basement to the seventh above ground, covering a total area of 120,000 square meters divided between a shopping mall, food hall, private residences, offices, and a hotel. WaltherPark is nestled in the heart of Bolzano, between the train station and the historic center, surrounded by green spaces, squares, and pedestrian zones, aiming to become a major attraction for visitors from the city, the region, and tourists alike.

Hines has stareted the construction of Unionezero in the former Falck area of Sesto San Giovanni, with an investment of 220 million euros. The project covers 130,000 square meters and includes offices, such as the new headquarters of Intesa Sanpaolo, and a student residence with 700 beds. CMB, in partnership with Colombo Costruzioni, is one of the main companies responsible for the construction. CMB will manage the construction of sustainable buildings, aiming for high environmental certifications, such as LEED and WELL. The site will employ an average of 300 workers daily, helping to transform the area into a new urban hub.

The future Snam headquarter is located in Milan as part of the Symbiosis urban regeneration project, promoted by Covivio, where CMB has already built the multitenant building in Via Orobia/Via Vezza d’Oglio.The new office building , currently under construction, has been designed by the architectural firm Piuarch and will consist of three stacked volumes over 14 floors, with a total surface area of approximately 19,000 square meters. The project involves the construction of civil works, mechanical, electrical, and special systems, as well as opaque and glazed facades. Two underground floors are planned for parking, while the fourteen above-ground floors are divided into three staggered, stacked volumes. The building will achieve the main national and international sustainability  certifications (LEED & WELL and CASACLIMA). One of the project's standout features is the continuity of greenery between outdoor and indoor spaces, which will promote air quality in the work environment. Outside, a park of over 8,500 square meters will be developed as a spontaneous forest with a low-maintenance undergrowth and water features. Inside, a large greenhouse will encompass two floors of the building, while the terrace on the seventh floor will also be dedicated to greenery.

Unipol Tower has received the award of excellence from the Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat in the Tall Building 100-199 meters category. The building was awarded during the 2024 international conference held from September 23 to 27 between London and Paris, which every year involves the participation of over 1,300 delegates from 50 countries. In the 2024 edition, Unipol Tower was the only Italian building among the 20 category winners.

On October 2nd, at the "Teatro Centofiori" space in Bologna, the Green Line Tram project for Bologna (Linea Verde) was presented to the press and stakeholders with two dedicated seminars. Mobility Councilor Mrs. Valentina Orioli and Mayor Mr. Matteo Lepore emphasized how the project, which will integrate with the Red Line (Linea Rossa) already under construction, will help connect Bologna's neighborhoods with more peripheral areas, creating a positive impact not only on mobility but also on the quality of life for citizens, who will benefit from greater accessibility throughout the city. Luciano D’Onofrio, representing CMB, presented the project, focusing on the construction methods, the phased approach to the work, and the sequencing of the construction sites—necessary considerations to minimize the impact on city traffic. The Green Line will run from the southern terminus located in the center of Bologna, then extend to the SFM Corticella Station.

Within the Mind – Milano Innovation District project, Lendlease's construction sites are advancing in the Westgate area, specifically the multifunctional building MoLo 3.1 (Mobility and Logistic Hub) and the office building called 4.1.1 Horizon. Over the next two years, CMB will build new offices and commercial spaces on an area of nearly 20,000 square meters, located near the Rho-Fiera metro station. The heart of the urban development plan is the Common Ground, which will traverse the entire area transversely at an height of 10 meters, and around which the new buildings will rise. The project will develop in the long term in a decarbonized area, dedicated to innovation and attentive to the needs and well-being of its inhabitants.
