Steel reinforcement for reinforced concrete structure during the construction phase of the slab and vertical walls.

This is the company dedicated to the integrated design of civil structures through advanced modelling tools, data analysis, and parametric optimisation. From the early stages of projects, the choice of the most advantageous structural solutions is based on the analysis of the area's morphology, the geological characteristics of the land, and the specific needs of the project, with a focus on sustainability. Integrated expertise across the technical spectrum, from preliminary design to execution, ensures the safety of the works throughout the entire lifespan of the building.

Thanks to a holistic approach, DVS collaborates with other companies in the group to offer appropriate technical solutions that optimise design and construction times, reduce costs, and improve the quality of the final product.
