| TURIN-MILAN HIGH-SPEED RAILWAY: EXECUTING SUCCESS |
Location: Novara, Italy
Client: T.A.V. SpA
Length: 125 km |
|
|
| In 2001 the CAVTOMI consortium, of which Tecnimont is a member, undertook for T.A.V. S.p.A., the preliminary design, environmental impact evaluation, final design, detailed design and environmental monitoring of the high-speed (HS) Line from Turin to Milan, as well as related construction works. T.A.V. S.p.A. is the subsidiary of the Italian State Railways charged with the development of the high-speed system. The project involved the realization of 125 km of HS lines, four interconnections with existing lines, 150 km of ordinary and motorway roads and 16 motorway junctions. The total value of the contract is €6.7 billion, of which Tecnimont's share is approximately €384 million. |
| Construction of the first portion, Turin-Novara, started in 2002. The work was complicated by the need to keep open the Turin-Milan motorway, which runs parallel to the rail tracks, and also by the large number of main roads and the irrigation grid. The first portion of the project was completed by the end of 2005, in time for the 2006 Turin Winter Olympic Games . The remaining portion, Novara-Milan, is due to be completed by 2009. |

| Turin Metro: NEW SOLUTIONS FOR CITY MOBILITY |
Location: Turin, Italy
Client: Gruppo Torinese Trasporti (GTT)
Length: 16.5 km |
|
|
|
| In July 2000 Gruppo Torinese Trasporti (GTT) awarded a contract for Turin Line 1, part of the first completely automated underground mass transport system (VAL - Automated Light Vehicle) in Italy. The 13.6 km line was built by a consortium of Tecnimont and Siemens Transportation Systems. The technical innovations of the system allow the use of trains without drivers and the optimization of train transit frequency, which for passengers has meant reduced waiting times. The first part of Line 1 (total contract value: €218 million) started operations at the beginning of 2006 and the rest was completed in October 2007. |
| In December 2006, Tecnimont signed a contract for the extension of the Turin underground. The new route extends from Marconi to Lingotto on Line 1 and includes six stations (Marconi, Nizza, Dante, Carducci/Molinette, Spezia and Lingotto), five intermediate pits, a 2.9 km double-track tunnel with 7.5 metres diameter EPB TBM, and further auxiliary activities. The contract, worth about €75 million, will be completed by 2010. |
