The challenge
The Padel Life Torino project stands out as a massive undertaking, set to become a benchmark for padel in Europe. However, its realization involved significant technical and logistical challenges:
- Unprecedented dimensions: Designing a unique +45m clear-span structure to house 11 panoramic padel courts required an extraordinary engineering effort to ensure functionality, aesthetics, and durability.
- Complex logistics: The transport of materials involved over 40 articulated lorries, carrying a total of 150,000 kg of steel and other components, all scheduled to meet tight delivery deadlines.
- Intensive metalwork: The construction and hot-dip galvanization of structural components was a meticulous and time-consuming process essential for ensuring long-lasting quality and resistance.
Favaretti Solution
Favaretti successfully tackled every aspect of this challenge, completing the project with meticulous attention to detail and a strong commitment to innovation:
- Insulated panel roofing: The custom-designed cover ensures optimal thermal insulation, providing energy savings and a comfortable playing environment year-round.
- High-quality engineering: Over 500 workdays were dedicated to fabricating the structural components, which were then hot-dip galvanized for optimal corrosion resistance.
- Lighting and sustainability: The structure features a professional lighting system delivering up to 750 lux at ground level, ideal for international-level events. Additionally, it is prepped for photovoltaic panel integration, promoting a sustainable, low-impact approach.
