Engineering Challenges Overcome with Expertise

The Bella Vista Apartments, a six-level development, embarked on its construction journey in the summer of 2017. Carved into the mountainside, this project required precise excavation and a deep knowledge of alpine-specific construction techniques, from managing snow loads and frost heave to ensuring structures can withstand the fierce mountain winds

Chalmers Constructions was entrusted with bringing the concrete skeleton of the Bella Vista Apartments to life. This included meticulously crafting precast concrete panels, the foundational basement carpark, and the vital lift shafts. The project unfurled over two levels of car parking, fifteen luxurious apartments across three levels, and features chalets that crown this magnificent structure, all within the confines of a tight summer schedule.
