Smart Construction Technology for Ambitious Residential Projects

Jul 03, 2025
The new residential complex Symphony Village is located in the province of Rome, in the town of Pratica di Mare, within the municipality of Pomezia, directly opposite the main entrance of the Mario De Bernardi military aerodrome.

Strategically situated close to the sea and just a few kilometres from the Italian capital, the project aims to transform and revitalize a previously abandoned and deteriorated coastal area. Covering over 75,000 m², the plan includes the construction of 14 three- and four-story buildings, as well as terraced houses, for a total of approximately 470 residential units. Commercial spaces will also be developed to provide convenient local services for residents.

The complex's structure is based on reinforced concrete solutions, featuring one-way slab systems with joists and hollow blocks poured on site, along with deep foundations. More than 1,600 foundation piles have been executed, with diameters of 800 mm and lengths ranging from 12 to 24 metres.

For this project, ULMA supplied various formwork systems for both vertical elements and slabs: the ORMA modular formwork system for beams, columns, and walls, and the CC-4 system for slabs. Their lightweight design, combined with ease and speed of assembly, made them the ideal solution to meet the project’s requirements, enabling even less-experienced workers to use them effectively.

One of the project’s greatest challenges was managing the volume of materials required, as the simultaneous construction of 14 buildings and 22 terraced houses demanded a substantial quantity of formwork equipment. ULMA’s extensive experience in large-scale projects proved to be essential in overcoming this challenge, successfully supplying nearly 6,500 m² of formwork. In addition, ULMA provided effective support in both design and logistics, ensuring timely material availability and delivery throughout the project.
