The new Sibaritide General Hospital in Corigliano-Rossano, Calabria, stands as one of Southern Italy’s most advanced healthcare facilities, combining precast technology, sustainability, and architectural quality. Mapei and Polyglass played key roles in supplying certified waterproofing systems and high-performance materials for both roofs and interior spaces. Their integrated solutions ensure durability, energy efficiency, and safety while meeting stringent healthcare standards. Supported by rigorous technical supervision and Bureau Veritas certification, the project exemplifies innovation and excellence in modern hospital design.

Thomas Gessaroli, Mapei’s Product Manager for Admixtures for screeds, explains how the Mapescreed range meets the challenges posed by modern-day construction sites, by providing advanced solutions for the construction of screeds and lightweight substrates, thanks to a line of specific admixtures that improve mechanical performance, reduce drying shrinkage and optimise thermal conductivity. Designed to meet the needs of today’s construction sites, the range stands out for its high environmental sustainability and the continuous technical support that comes with it, from mix design to on-site certification.

The refurbishment of the San Salvo Marina seafront, located in a section of the Adriatic coast known as the “Costa dei Trabocchi”, has created a new urban space that is more attractive and accessible for the local community. The project involved the use of porcelain tiles for the new paving, an unusual and ambitious choice for a coastal setting that has proved highly successful thanks to the use of the Mapestone system. Mapei technologies guaranteed rapid, safe installation in compliance with current standards, ensuring a high level of resistance to the harsh conditions of the marine environment. The project was completed in a short space of time and with attention to the landscape and now stands as a pilot model for coastal regeneration along the Adriatic Sea.
