Success stories
We are two companies who pay particular attention to our customers, and this approach facilitates collaboration and harmony
were brought on board included: reduction of CO2 emissions, energy and water savings, improving the ecological quality of the interiors, and the materials used for the construction to reach the highest level of LEED 'Platinum' certification. To meet the requirements
of the LEED certification, Grandimpianti has used the latest generation of technological systems and equipment – such as the Lainox Naboo ovens,” says Alessandro D’Andrade, commercial director, Grandimpianti. “Te refrigeration equipment was managed through a unit capable of controlling all the refrigerated utilities dedicated to the catering areas, a unit capable of being managed remotely and with low energy consumption. Tis arrangement also ensures greater comfort in the workplace, due to the absence of heat dissipation due to having the motors on board on the individual refrigeration units.” When looking for a company to provide a turnkey solution in Milan, Generali relied on the tried and tested. “Te relationship between Grandimpianti and Generali dates back many years. In the
past, we supplied the equipment in its headquarters in Mogliano Veneto, Treviso, Italy,” says D’Andrade. “Also, we recently won the contract to supply at the historic building owned by Generali ‘Procuratie Vecchie’ in Piazza San Marco, Venice, a project led by David Chipperfield Architects." When asked what makes
Generali and Grandimpianti good partners and collaborators, D’Andrade replies: “We are two companies who pay particular attention to our customers, and this approach facilitates collaboration and harmony between the parties involved in the project. Te collaboration worked very well, as the set goals were achieved with shared satisfaction and on schedule.” Te service offered by
Grandimpianti provides “the highest level of competence and reliability” and “complete control over all aspects of the project.” D’Andrade explained how this was what Generali was looking for. “Grandimpianti has a technical structure able to follow and support the client on all the choices regarding the equipment and design of the whole project. Our presence in this project has been recognized as very useful
in optimizing processes, solving the needs of the construction site and the construction management during the work.” Tis appraisal is supported
by Generali’s Boldrini. “CityLife [the builder of the tower on behalf of Generali Group] has chosen a reliable partner in Grandimpianti for this challenging project. Te request was a full project including the design of technical spaces for catering and the supply of all the equipment to efficiently organize all the catering services. Te service managers worked together with Grandimpianti by suggesting small adjustments based on their experience and requests,” he says. “Te main challenge for the
catering service has been to provide different offers with different levels of service according to user’s needs, creating functional areas in limited and irregular spaces created by the uniqueness of the tower's architecture,” he continues. “Also, we needed to manage peaks of turnout during the lunch break by limiting waiting times while maintaining a varied offer in terms of menus.” Te sheer size of this
project called for excellent organizational and collaboration skills from Grandimpianti. “Due to the dimensions of the project, we organized the workflow into several phases, collaborating with the client’s internal team made of architects, engineers and installers to ensure the maximum coordination and alignment with the strict deadlines,” says D’Andrade. “Te space available for the kitchen of the corporate canteen was very
