The Parco della Pace on the site of the former Dal Molin airport in Vicenza, planned as a compensation work following the construction of the U.S. military base on the remaining part of the former airport, is, with its 60 hectares of land, a real metropolitan park. The park is envisioned as a large plain, shaped by a landscape of water and relief, forests, and grasslands. In the event of heavy and prolonged rainfall, the hydraulic network of the park acts as a rolling basin for precipitated volumes, allowing a constant and regulated runoff at the park’s outlet to the final discharge. The works carried out thus have a dual value: landscape, as a significant component in the theme of the park, and hydraulic, in that they are necessary to ensure the drainage and lamination of project rainfall. ITS was responsible for the hydraulic design of the entire complex of canals, guard ditches, drainage flow regulators and water mirrors that made it possible to guarantee the flooding of the approximately 1300 cu m/ha derived from the hydrological analyses conducted.
