View our portfolio and contact us for more information.

Fields of activity

In the field of engineering we assist clients with design and construction supervision services for all contexts.

In particular in the following fields:

• construction - for individuals, public entities (commercial, industrial, banking institutions, exhibition spaces, sports activities...);
• reinforced concrete, prestressed, mixed-structure and steel works (pedestrian and bicycle walkways, canopies, road and railway underpasses, viaducts, bridges, centering...);
• civil engineering works of above and below structure, road works, infrastructure for distribution companies, street furniture, canalizations, pressure pipelines;
• special geotechnical works - piles, micropiles, anchored and nailed walls, berms, sheet piling, buttress retaining walls, consolidation injections - for excavations, foundations and reinforcements (slopes, roads, lake shores) and undercut works;
• structural renovation and rehabilitation of buildings of all types;
• special structures such as piers and moorings for marinas, submerged and floating structures, tensile structures, cable nets, vibrating machine foundations, tuned mass damping (TMD) systems.

Assessments and securing

The firm's engineers also deal with everything related to the securing and state of preservation of structures. They intervene with technical appraisals for assessments of artifacts, buildings, and road works. They specialize in environmental assessments, for example in cases of subsidence, flooding or fire damage.

Structural analyses

Among the specializations of the firm led by engineers Paronesso and Artari are analyses:

• Static and dynamic structural, linear and nonlinear;
• modal in real and complex field;
• seismic and geotechnical;
• structural instability (buckling);
• three-dimensional slope stability;
• structural of shocks and impacts;
• of vibrations induced by pedestrian, vehicular and rail traffic;
• of floating structures and more.

To learn about them all in detail, contact the office via form or by sending an email.

Software development

AR&PA Engineering designs and develops specific software for the study of:

• nonlinear static interaction between foundation piles for the calculation of piles;
• sea state modeling for determination of wave loads of floating structures;
• statics and dynamics of moorings consisting of catenaries and dead bodies;
• dynamic interaction between railway bridge and train;
• dynamic interaction between floating platforms and fluid;
• dynamic interaction between structure (artifact, dam) and medium of infinite size (soil, fluid contained in the reservoir).
