Success story: major refurbishment and change of use in Barcelona
At ICA-Grupo, we are proud to present a project which illustrates our commitment to excellence in engineering and architecture in Barcelona. In collaboration with our client Condis, we carried out the major refurbishment and change of use of a multiplex cinema in the central area of Maragall, Barcelona.
The challenge of transformation:
The main challenge we faced in this commission was the transformation of a multiplex cinema into a new commercial establishment on the ground floor, with a linked car park in the basement. The premises were located underneath an 8-storey residential building, which required a precise structural intervention at all stages of the project..
Precision in structural intervention:
The realisation of this project involved a comprehensive interior gutting and demolition of the former cinemas, with a focus on minimising vibration and disturbance to the occupants of the upper floors. We prioritised manual over mechanical methods to achieve this.
The construction of new internal floors and foundations was carried out with micro-piling, guaranteeing a solid and safe base. In addition, structural shoring was carried out on one of the main walls of the building, which represented a key moment in the construction process.
Successful outcome:
The project was successfully completed, completely transforming the space of the former cinemas into a modern commercial establishment with underground car park, adding significant value to the surroundings of Maragall, Barcelona.
