SNOWPARK Construction

Consultation Based on many years of experience, we guarantee a customized service with tailor made solutions.

We respond precise and to the point to your needs, finding, within closed collaboration, the best way to optimize and enhance the leisure activity constructions in your ski resort.

11

Topographical measurement We base our planning on the most accurate GPS measurements.

We deploy the latest surveying technologies to embed your projects in the most appropriate way into the terrain. This is the reason why we are able to manage the resources more efficiently in summer as we do it during the wintertime. So the terrain modelling and preparation allows us to carry out the construction in an ideal way.

Groundwork 12

In collaboration with your construction partners, geometricians and building enterprises, we are supervising the progress of your projects. As a consequence you’ll save water, time, fuel and energy.

13

3D Planning & Renderings To optimize the obtained data from the measurements, a 3D program will elaborate them. Working sustainably is a firmly anchored principle in our planning and execution of our projects.

Therefore every project will be integrated as far as possible to the natural given terrain and greater interventions are tried to be avoided.

The photorealistic renderings of the projects can easily be used to present and promote the new attractions in your ski resort.

For the planning phase we offer:

14

• • • • • • • • • •

On site inspection Topographic survey using GPS measurement Analysis and integration of existing projects Conception and design Safety concept Maintenance schedule Cost calculation Creation of building plans Rendering / 3D visualization Planning and monitoring earthworks

15

Park Construction Safety, functionality and precision are our main priorities.

By accurate planning we avoid unnecessary expensive delays, being able to construct your project optimally. We provide the complete service; from properly placed snow guns to the setups’ finest tuning. Creativity and innovation are the essential features for the implementation of successful projects.

Maintenance

18

A snowpark is an investment and should be treated as such. A daily and scrupulous care is the key to your parks’ success. We always place high importance to the maintenance and safety – even after the construction is completed. The snowpark should be maintained accordingly in a long-lasting way. We pursue and accompany all your projects along the entire season and offer you customized maintenance support, if necessary. From periodic inspections, to a full maintenance service, we will always be by your side. It doesn’t matter if you already have a snowpark team or if it needs to be formed by or with us, together we find the optimal solution.

Skatepark Construction

74

75

Why Skateparks?

Skateboarding has always been our passion. It is all about creativity and innovation. Therefore we decided to create a new branch in our company.

Construction Together and in close contact with experienced skateboarders and BMX riders, we worked on, and developed new ideas and projects over the past 10 years, using a variety of materials and design techniques. Regardless of whether we have used concrete, wood, iron or high-pressure laminate (HPL), it made us gain experience about all those material characters.

All constructions are realized, just like all our plans are; based on GPS measurements, which are then optimized throughout a 3D program.

A photo-realistic rendering of the projects is going to support you in promoting the new attraction.

76

During the planning phase we offer the following services: • • • • •

On site inspection Analysis and integration of already existing projects Conception and design Cost calculation Planning

During execution we offer: • • •

Transport Construction Maintenance

77

Skatepark Structures Our construction crew is consisting of professional metal workers, carpenters and construction workers, who are familiar with all common materials, which are used to build a skatepark. A precise and neat process is just as important to us, as it is the safety and creativity. Independently of all, we put a lot of attention into detail.

Restoration and Maintenance 78

Thanks to our long lasting experience we restore and maintain your existing skatepark in the best possible way.

81

Film Production Our projects have been recorded from the very beginning. We encouraged young and keen filmers with the appropriate equipment and know how.

From the fact that in the last years the demand increased steeply we decided to found F-TECH Production in 2013.

Filming F-TECH Production is a young creative and extremely versatile video production. We’re working together with enthusiastic skiers, snowboarders, surfers, skateboarders, bikers, climbers and mountaineers and we love the challenge – no mountain and no terrain is too high and no shooting too difficult for us to reach. We constantly strive to find new offers and welcome any new interesting project. We have been operating for several years in the commercial and tourist, as well as in the documentary industry.

Photography 82

Throughout the years we have gained a lot of experience in the action and sports industry. Two in-house photographers make part of our crew— dedicated professionals who have passion for action photography are ready to support you in any kind of project.

In case of any special requests or shootings we work with the following photographers too: – Lorenzo “Fizza” Verdinelli – Patrick Schwienbacher – Eleonora Raggi – Harald Wisthaler – Alessandro Belluscio – Roby Bragotto – Denis Piccolo

83

Aerial filming As we have been already specialized in sports filming, the commercial and web industry, we extended our offer by UAV based aerial filming in 2014.

We combine our passion for flying, filming and photographing, with the admiration for the nature and the athletes, all in one.

Our pilots are very experienced and well trained. This is essentially to conduct the flight missions in highest safety and efficiency. F-TECH fulfills all legal requirements to apply and use drones in commercial operations and holds the necessary certificate of the Italian Aviation Authorities.
