Ing. Alessandro Fontana

I deal with steel-cable-tensile structures, façades and glass design. I also do project management and I can manage with proficiency a small team. My tasks include: - Providing structural expertise in the façade team. - Performing structural calculations. - Performing project management activities. - Coordinating the work of fresh engineers and being their reference. - Developing new procedures to optimize the design flow.

I developed a Fibre Reinforced Concrete for structural reinforcement of existing concrete bridges. I optimised the mix and eventually I achieved the demanded performance. I also implement a new and more efficient procedure for casting and testing.

I joined a research team that aimed to recycle industrial waste by introducing it in ceramic composites. My goal was to investigate different mixture to find the ones with the demanded property.
