Retarding basin in Piazzale Kennedy in Rimini

Building of an underground retarding basin along the Ausa Canal in Piazzale Kennedy in the town of Rimini.

The area of the works includes the whole Piazzale Kennedy in the Municipality of Rimini, which hosts an operative construction site for the basins, and part of Piazzale Medaglie D’Oro for adjustment within the existing basins.

Piazzale Kennedy is a critical point for tourism in Marina Centro and it is an important hub for the road network of a completely urbanized area.

The works basically envisage the construction of two underground basins, a retarding one and a rainwater collection one, in addition to the remaking of the existing Ausa channel.

A series of preliminary activities were initially carried out, namely the elimination of existing underground structures in order to make it easier to realize the special foundations.

To complete the special foundations (diaphragms and piles of remarkable size), the reinforced concrete works were started, proceeding by blocks and within limited spaces.

On the extrados of the basins, structures covering the technical areas necessary to operate the systems and very expensive finishes are envisaged.

The position of the construction site and the small work areas required to perform a detailed and continuously developing study of the site and specific operating procedures.
