MERCANTI
Radio-controlled robotic demolition was employed to demolish portions of a 5-floor building, which was then converted into a hotel. Additionally, controlled demolition techniques involving cutting and coring were used to support the robotic demolition. Managing highly complex logistics was necessary due to the building's close proximity to the city center, being only 200 meters away from Milan Cathedral.
