1 INTRODUCTION

For over 15 years, Trevi SpA, a worldwide leader in the field of special foundations, has been offering the private and public sector a mechanised, automatic, fully secure and unmanned underground car park that is commercially known as TreviPark (see Fig. 1). Civil and also mechanical components of the car park are designed, manufactured and installed by the Trevi Group; particularly the mechanisation is a Soilmec SpA product. The reduced sizes of the entry and exit bays (without entry ramps) make TreviPark’s environmental impact negligible, the surrounding area may be maintained in its original conditions and urban facilities may be enhanced. The system can be successfully introduced and integrated into all urban environments, both historical and modern. All TreviParks are connected to a dedicated Control Centre that operates 24 hours a day, giving instructions to the client, operating thanks to a remote control system on the software which manages the electro-mechanical unit and by coordinating emergency reparations and maintenance systems.
