The joint venture between CMB of Carpi (with a stake of 51%) and Itinera, a company specializing in large-scale works in the Gavio Group (with a stake of 49%), has been awarded two lots of the new Hospital complex in the city of Odense in Denmark.

The Client for the initiative is the “Region of Southern Denmark”.

The value of the project is around 390 million euros.

The contract is an Early Contract Involvement (ECI) type, which provides for the development and design optimization of the project together with the Client’s technical structure, a phase that is planned to terminate by June 2018.

The two lots of the new hospital in Odense relate to the construction of the Admissions departments with a surface area of around 60 thousand sq.m. and the Hospitalization and Outpatients wards with a surface area of around 100 sq.m.. The completion of works is expected for the end of 2022.

Among the most innovative aspects of the order is that the design and construction of the new Hospital will be managed according to the Building Information Modeling (BIM) method, which makes it possible to create an integrated three-dimensional model of the various elements during the entire life-cycle of the infrastructure, from the design to the construction to the subsequent management of the building, permitting in the execution phase to reduce unforeseen events and interferences linked to the construction to a minimum, as well as providing the client with a final computer model for a more efficient future management.
