Research, Development and Innovation

Cimolai's Research and Development activities are reflected both in the transformation of design and construction processes for structures, and in the adoption of new software platforms and management systems.

Our technicians and researchers work constantly to identify innovative solutions, in line with customer requirements and the principles of efficiency, sustainability and continuous improvement.

We collaborate with research institutions recognized worldwide to consolidate a scientific and cutting-edge approach.

Ongoing Projects

On-Site Digitalization

We digitalize processes to increase efficiency, quality and sustainability. Together with partners and experts, we have developed a BIM-based CDE platform: the 3D model supports design, steel design, production, QA, planning and construction site activities. We aim for a paperless approach with centralized and searchable information flows.

BIM Corners on Sites

To make the model always accessible, we are experimenting with BIM corners on construction sites: fixed workstations, totems or tablets for viewing the 3D model in real time.

Digitalization for Sustainability

Digitalization makes it possible to assess the impact of raw materials from the outset, selecting more sustainable materials and balancing environmental and economic criteria for better decision-making.
