| 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. |

| LAMEZIA-CATANZARO RAILWAY: DEVELOPING THE TRANSPORTATION NETWORK IN SOUTHERN ITALY |
Location: Catanzaro, Italy
Client: Italferr S.p.A.
Length: 14 km |
|
|
|
| As leader of a consortium, Tecnimont carried out detailed design and construction of the new railway line linking Settingiano and Catanzaro Lido in Calabria. The contract, awarded by Italferr S.p.A., the engineering company of the Italian Railways Group, included the design and construction of the railway superstructure along the line and inside the stations, and all the technological equipment required for its operation. The new line has a length of 14 km and the contract was worth €128 million. The project employed the latest technology. In particular, the tunnel excavation was carried out by a tunnel boring machine, which averaged 16 metres per day, with a peak of 24 metres per day. The project was part of a wider urban recovery programme, in line with the socio-economic development of the area. Particular attention was given to an integrated quality-environment-safety management system. The line was opened for operation in June 2008. |

| BOLOGNA-FIRENZE HIGH-SPEED RAILWAY: HIGH TECHNOLOGY RESPECTING THE ENVIRONMENT |
Location: Bologna, Italy
Client: T.A.V. S.p.A.
Length: 78 km |
|
|
|
| Tecnimont is a member of the CAVET consortium, which is carrying out for TAV SpA the preliminary, final and detailed design, environmental impact assessment, environmental monitoring services, and related construction works for the Bologna-Florence high-speed railway line. With an overall value of €4.8 billion, of which Tecnimont’s share is approximately €494 million, the project entails the construction of 78 km of railway line, one interconnection with existing lines, 73.4 km of tunnels and 110 km of ordinary roads. The work is complex, with over 90% of the rail line to be laid in tunnels under the Apennine Mountains. Significant technical and execution problems have been overcome, including tunnel excavations in poor and variable terrain. Given the mountainous nature of the Apennine region, large-scale landscaping and infrastructural intervention was necessary. The main civil works were completed in 2007, and the overall project will be completed in 2009. |

| Line B1 Rome UNDERGROUND: IMPROVING URBAN LIVING STANDARDS |
Location: Rome, Italy
Client: Comune di Roma and Roma Metropolitane
Length: 3.6 km |
|
|
|
| Underground railway systems play a fundamental role in shaping the identity and character of urban life. Engineering works, through their architecture and design, contribute to the transformation of underground stations into important social and cultural locations, and themselves lead to material changes in urban landscapes. |
| The B1 Rome underground project, started in 2005 by a consortium including Tecnimont, consists of the detailed design and construction of a line of 3.6 km, completely underground along its whole length. Three stations will be constructed: Annibaliano, Gondar, Conca d’Oro, some of which will be executed at a considerable depth below ground level (up to 36 metres). The Tunnel Boring Machine (TBM) earth pressure balance (EPB) excavation technology will permit a significant reduction of overlying soils of low mechanical performance and high water content in areas of significant historical and architectural interest. The project (total contract value: €330 million) will be realized for the Comune di Roma and Roma Metropolitane and completed by 2011. |

Client: Comune di Avellino/Regione Campania/Avellino Health Department
Area: 100,000 sqm |
|
|
|
| Developed for the Comune di Avellino, Regione Campania and Avellino Health Department, this initiative includes the construction of a hospital that will become the sole hospital of Avellino, offering advanced medical assistance to the entire region. The project covers an area of 100,000 sq. metres and will cost €170 million. The distinctive element of the hospital layout is the central square. Horizontal routes fan out from this square to connect the various parts of the estate. The Healthcare Centre of Avellino is of fundamental importance for the network of medical services in southern Italy. It will replace four existing hospitals and become a regional medical centre of excellence, equipped with the most advanced specialist departments. Around 75% of the project, which has recently been revised and fine-tuned, was completed in 2007. The rest is still under construction. |
