Agnelli Foundation in Turin: draining paving with limestone aggregates
Based on an Impresa D'Engineering srl project, the paving of the pedestrian paths, free of obstacles and architectural barriers, outside the Agnelli Foundation was created with the City Open system by Terra Solida Italia and through the use of limestone gravel.
Description of the project
The project aimed to enhance the green area outside the Foundation with the creation of pedestrian passages that connected the various areas to each other and were totally eco-friendly, also guaranteeing the correct infiltration of rainwater.
The design requirements for the creation of the routes were mainly:
- eco-friendliness of all the materials used;
- colors and textures entirely in accordance with the lithology of the site;
- mechanical characteristics such as to guarantee long durability of the route;
-
permeability such as to guarantee full usability of the routes, even in adverse weather conditions, guaranteeing the absolute absence of stagnation and puddles of water.
Products used
To create the routes the following were used:
- City Openbind, an eco-friendly natural binder, used for the packaging of draining mixtures with the use of single-granular aggregates chosen following adequate testing by the technical management of Terra Solida Italia;
-
Openprotation, a seasoning aid to guarantee the correct maturation of the surfaces.
