Pilosio is set to use its presence at GIC Piacenza, a major construction trade event in northern Italy, this week to push a broader message on safety, training and temporary structural engineering, alongside the launch of a wide range of new and existing systems.
The Italian manufacturer will exhibit from 16 to 18 April with two stands at the event, while also organising a two-day conference focused on infrastructure repair, digital change and construction site safety.
Rather than treating the exhibition as a standard product showcase, Pilosio is positioning its appearance around the role temporary works can play in improving both safety and efficiency on complex projects.
A key part of that approach will be the conference, The Frontiers of Concrete 7.0: From Historic Infrastructure to Data Centres, which brings together academics, engineers and contractors to discuss material degradation, restoration in harsh environments, data centre construction and high-altitude rehabilitation works.
For UK readers, the most notable part of the programme will be a dedicated safety session on 17 April featuring Clive Dickin, chief executive of NASC and CISRS. Pilosio says the session will present the British scaffolding training and audit model to an Italian audience as part of a wider discussion on reducing accidents and raising standards on site.
The company is also using the event to promote its “Pilosio Experience Week”, which will take selected visitors beyond the exhibition hall and onto live infrastructure sites. The aim is to show how temporary works, suspended access and protection systems are used in real conditions.
Alongside that wider message, Pilosio will present 21 products across scaffolding, suspended access and formwork. These include the FlyDeck suspended platform system, Flash 2.2.1 aluminium scaffolding, the IXI Truss modular beam, the Dynamo Trailer mobile platform and new aluminium formwork systems.
Pilosio said its aim at GIC is to combine product innovation with a stronger focus on technical knowledge, site safety and practical training.
The event will give visitors a chance to see that approach both on the exhibition floor and through the conference programme running across 16 and 17 April.
