Due diligence of the documentation supporting the road project for the new Galeazzi hospital, Milan
TRT was commissioned to carry out a verification of the demand data used for the Arexpo-MIND project in Milan (redevelopment of the area that hosted the Expo Milano 2015 event) for the area of the new Galeazzi-Sant’Ambrogio hospital, the parking demand and supply, and the viability of the new hospital.
The study, focused on the analysis of the documentation made available by the client (taken from the environmental impact studies of the PII Post Expo, which is part of the Arexpo-MIND area’s project, from the annexed Mobility Report of the urban planning project as well as from other internal documents).
Data from the official documents were compared with alternative sources, including data collected by TRT in previous studies involving hospital facilities and the ITE 10th edition Trip Generation manual.
The official documents were analysed to reconstruct the expected mobility demand and the resulting parking demand. This information was then compared with data from other hospital facilities (one hospital located in an urban area and a second one in a suburban area), with an estimate of the trips conducted by TRT on the basis of data from the Galeazzi hospital shared by the client, and with the estimate of the generating coefficients deduced from the Trip Generation manual.
The comparison was carried out using specific indicators that made it possible to compare different hospitals, using the number of total and peak hour trips, peak hour factor, trips per hospital bed, and the ratio of trips with total population involved.
A similar approach was followed for the analysis of parking demand and consequent supply, analysing available documentation, identifying the overall supply of dedicated and public parking, in order to compare it with other realities known to TRT through previous studies.
Lastly, the access road layout of the new hospital was analysed, verifying the adequacy of the dimensions, the provisional shape of the accesses at the Cargo 8 and Cargo 10 gates (the name remaining from the management of the Expo 2015 area) and the definitive one, taking into account the interference of ordinary traffic with the emergency traffic directed to the emergency room, also proposing a different configuration in the use of the accesses.
