The 65-metre high glass and steel control tower, under construction in Genoa's Levante Waterfront, will be equipped with a technologically innovative system designed to protect the building from vibrations caused by strong winds and severe sea conditions. Tuned mass dampers will be programmed and activated by electrical engines, across the Electro Pro system planned and built by ISAAC, to counteract all possible swaying motions of the tower and eliminate vibrations.
At the heart of this state-of-the art technology is a central command system which records the movement of the building across motion sensors applied to the walls and calculates in real-time the amount of force required to counterbalance the oscillations of the tower caused by strong winds. The New ...
