The hydrometric station of Bolzano/Bozen is the first application of the standard building product “w_box” (research project of TAAUT VENTURA). The system has been adapted to the needs of the hydrographic office of the Bolzano/Bozen province. Other similar variations of the “w_box” structure can be found along several rivers across the whole county, all based on the same “corporate design”. Constructive system based on standard wooden, steel and concrete elements.

• Experimental architecture developed with the “TAAUT VENTURA” research project “w_box”.
• Low production cost, by means of a production of standard elements for the next hydrometric stations
• Efficiency, by means of a simple and effective contract procurement system sustained with intuitive pc applications (duration of 20 min. for the editing of contracts)
• Flexibility of sizing and orientation to the specific needs and peculiarities of the chosen location
• Reduced manufacturing time
• Identifiability: elements for corporate design
• Shape proportionate to the ISO-standards for transport
• The modular components (wall-element, window, roof, …) allow a vast variety of combinations
• Possibility of constructing multi-storey buildings
• Instant supply including furniture - Promotion of quality and safety in production: production cycles organized at the production sites.
