General project description
The seismic retrofit project for the A. Calcara School – D’Annunzio Campus in Marcianise is a key strategic step towards ensuring the safety of the local school infrastructure.
The aim is to safeguard pupils, teachers and school staff, whilst ensuring continuity of teaching activities in a building that serves as a focal point for the community.
Why ISAAC
The project was designed to improve the building’s structural behaviour in the event of an earthquake, using innovative solutions to reduce stresses and increase safety levels without resorting to invasive measures.
A key aspect of the project was to ensure that the school remained fully operational during the installation work, avoiding prolonged disruption to lessons and minimising impact on day-to-day activities.
