2. CAM ® news in structural retrofitting 2.1. CAM ® System for historical monuments

To date, the most important work on historical monuments has been the structural restoration of a Roman amphitheatre in Lecce, Italy. The Ministry of Cultural Heritage was looking for a reversible and zero visive impact system of strengthening. The arch consists of blocks of local limestone and CAM ® ribbons were used to encircle each block. The ribbons were also thermally isolated using a ceramic-based paint.

2.2. CAM ® System for bridges and infrastructures The high quality of stainless steel and the simple way of using it has meant that Edil CAM Sistemi Srl has been able to improve its work on bridges and other infrastructures. As shown in the photos, some important work has been done on a two-span bridge over the Marina River (Campi Bisenzio, Florence, Italy) and also in the Rome Termini railway & metro station. The dry application allowed the work to be carried out in very little time which is a characteristic always required for infrastructures.
