New Elevetor consists of only 3 modular elements, which makes it extremely simple to install, even in the most demanding projects.
In Padua, New Elevetor allowed a fast and easy construction of a 3.000 m2 refrigeration storage, while simultaneously fulfilling multiple complex requirements:
- Raising the concrete slab from the ground to prevent frost-heaving,
- Providing natural ventilation to save the cost of underfloor heating,
- Creating crawl spaces for the passage of the MEP systems.
The installation was carried out by following these 5 simple steps:

The workers first created the base grid by placing and connecting the pedestals together.

The base grid served as a guiding grid for an easier and more precise installation of MEP systems.

The tubes were cut to size according to project requirements and fitted into base pedestals.

The top formwork was placed on the tubes and then interlocked to provide safe walkability.

The rebar mesh was placed on top of the formwork, upon which the concrete was poured and vibrated.
