This periodic structural inspection at the San Nicola Stadium in Bari is a crucial specialized maintenance intervention, aimed at ensuring the integrity of the large roof cantilevers. The operations focus on meticulously checking the bolted connections and the condition of the welds on the imposing steel beams, elements subjected to constant dynamic stresses and wind loads.
The use of high-altitude aerial platforms (up to 50 meters) allows technicians to inspect every critical component of Renzo Piano's "spaceship," ensuring that the anti-corrosion protection is intact and that there are no signs of metal fatigue. This monitoring protocol is essential for the safety of spectators and the preservation of a world-class architectural work, guaranteeing the long-term stability of the roof petals and full compliance with current structural load regulations.
