Maurizio Guadagnino

Project Manager and Project Engineer for Täby Brandskyddsteknik AB's Tunnel Department, on the new underground rail project in Gothenburg, Sweden. Västlänken E02 Centralen is a subsection of the extensive collaborative project between NCC and the Swedish Transport Administration (Trafikverket). This section covers an almost two-kilometer stretch and includes both a train tunnel and an underground central station. Recently, it was honored with Sweden's most prestigious award in sustainable construction: the Sweden Green Building Awards – Sustainable Infrastructure of the Year.

Senior Architect & Architectural Design Lead, to assist in delivering the Cityringen – Branch off to Sydhavnen development. Cityringen – Branch off to Sydhavnen is another integrated part of Copenhagen’s metro system. The new extension links Copenhagen’s southern harbor district with its new urban development areas to the rest of Copenhagen. Cityringen as a whole revolutionizes public transport in Copenhagen. The Cityringen Sydhavn 1 project (CRSH1) consists of the construction of ~4,5km of twin-tube metro tunnel including two cross passages and the first stage concrete as well as five new underground stations and several shafts, ramps, boxes and other structures in the south of Copenhagen. TUNN3L JV I/S, a joint venture between worldwide-leading construction companies HOCHTIEF and VINCI, will be delivering the construction of CRSH1 to the client Metroselskabet (owned by the municipalities of Copenhagen and Frederiksberg and the Danish Ministry of Transport). This is an exciting opportunity to work with a motivated, highly professional, dedicated and multinational team and be part of something that will shape the future of Copenhagen.

2015, launched my Architectural Design studio, mainly designing luxury villas and commercial developments. By 2019 I had expanded my projects to every part of Kwazulu Natal in South Africa, and employed 11 permanent staff. We have designed and consulted on all facets of architecture from Heritage architecture restoration to retail and commercial buildings, shopping centres and large warehousing, luxury and group housing schemes as well as infrastructure upgrades. We have been involved in green architecture and numerous community driven self-sustainability initiatives.

I was head hunted by a recruitment company to join then PDNA which was later bought over by Mott MacDonald, to run their Richards Bay Civil & Structural design and drawing office section and head up bulk water supply network designs while completing my internal apprenticeship in architecture.

I joined SNA Civil and Structural Engineers to gain experience in structural engineering. Worked on designs for the new harbor bridge that was built in Mauritius as well as several local bridge designs. Carried out inspections on existing bridges to establish structural integrity. I was fortunate to be exposed to both design and detailing of structural elements throughout my time at SNA. This paved the way for the next branch of my career in both Civil, Structural and Architectural design.

Worked mainly in the field of engineering in water culverts and catchments and road upgrade detailing and layerworks. While my main focus was detail designs of roads as well as interchange culvert designs and catchment designs, I also focused on relocation of residential dwellings which was my first taste of architectural designing.

Project manager for the construction of a Luxury Steel Frame residential dwelling with multiple units.
