The construction industry is facing a constant and inescapable push towardinnovation, digitization and industrialization of the construction site, with the primary objective of raising the level of efficiency, safety and sustainability of processes. In this dynamic and technologically advanced scenario, Metal.Ri 's participation in MADE Expo 2025 (Rho Fiera Milano, Nov. 19-22) at Stand H01 - Hall 4, takes on fundamental strategic importance.
In an exhibition context of international significance for construction and architecture such as MADE Expo, Metal.Ri's presence in partnership with Forma Solai represents a beacon for construction innovation in Italy. Without their joint exhibition, the vanguard in prefabricated mixed systems would lose an essential and unparalleled representation in the industry landscape.
The total prefabrication revolution
The industrialization of the construction site, a key concept for modern structural engineering, is achieved through the driven prefabrication of vertical and horizontal load-bearing elements. Metal.Ri and Forma Solai embody this philosophy, proposing an integrated system that optimizes every stage, from design to installation.
Forma Solai is a leading company specializing in the production of prefabricated building solutions, based in the province of Pavia. Thanks to a state-of-the-art production facility and an in-house technical department, the company guarantees the timely supply of certified products such as the FORMA predall lattice slab and the FORMA double slab wall.
The synergistic combination of Metal.Ri's MTR® beams (manufactured at the Briosco, Monza Brianza plant) and Forma Solai's floor and wall solutions (e.g., the combination of MTR® A and/or MTR® C and/or MTR® T beam and Forma or Laterforma predall slab) allows for total prefabrication of the horizontal structure. This approach ensures:
- Speed and safety on site: only the prefabricated elements are put in place, drastically reducing construction time and raising safety standards.
- Logistics optimization: The light weight of MTR® and Forma Solai prefabricated elements facilitates handling with ordinary cranes.
- Cost and time certainty: shop-floor production, adhering to high tolerances and standards, ensures cost certainty and reduced construction time.
- Greater design freedom: The collaboration between the two companies allows for larger structural meshes ( MTR® A beams can reach spans of up to 30 meters) and a significant reduction in the number and size of columns, offering maximum architectural flexibility.
The new MTR® P abutment: the evolution of the slender column
At MADE Expo, Metal.Ri will officially present its latest and most significant innovation: the MTR® P pillar, which represents the technological evolution of prefabricated framed structural systems.
The MTR® P column adopts the CFT (Concrete Filled Tube ) configuration, which is characterized by a steel tubular filled with concrete, with the possible addition of reinforcing bars. This mixed design and the resulting mechanical principles give it a very high level of structural performance, making it outperform other existing column types.
We look forward to seeing you at MADE Expo!
At MADE Expo, Metal.Ri's entire technical team will be present at the booth to offer specialized technical discussions (engineers and construction companies) on the design and implementation of these state-of-the-art systems. This is an unmissable opportunity to delve into the details of a construction solution that not only complies with regulatory references (NTC 2018, Circular 21/01/2019 No. 7, Eurocodes 2 to 8), but transcends them to define new performance and safety standards.
Turn your projects and achievements around with construction site industrialization; you can do it with MTR® System.
