Description

Turnkey contract for the construction of a new technological complex, an experimental plant, and office spaces for Alenia Aeronautica, the prominent Italian Aerospace Company now known as Alenia Aermacchi.

The complex is an industrial facility designated for the production of high-tech components for aviation, while the experimental plant in Caselle Sud consists of two facilities: a high intensity radiated field (HIRF) for the study of the impact of magnetic fields on aircraft functionality (at the time of construction it had the largest anechoic camera in Europe), and a sky light simulator (SLS), designated for the study of the effect of ambient light on display tools in the aircraft’s cabin, suitable for testing on both civil and military aircraft.
