ANAS, the Italian national road administration, the Aosta valley autonomous region and SITRASB, the operator of the Grand Saint-Bernard tunnel, signed on 22nd April, 2008 an annex to the agreement signed in 1998 related to the financing of the construction of a bypass road to the SS 27, from Etroubles to the motorway leading to the Grand Saint-Bernard tunnel. The project concerns a bypass road encircling the communities of Etroubles and Saint-Oyen, currently crossed by trunk road SS 27 and therefore subject to intense vehicular traffic. The road is the unique connection between Aosta valley and Switzerland via the Grand Saint-Bernard cross-border tunnel. The Grand Saint-Bernard Pass is closed during the winter season.The bypass road requires the construction of two tunnels and a viaduct. A first 1.5 km tunnel will divert through traffic in Etroubles, then a 200 m double span viaduct will cross the Grand Saint-Bernard valley and then a second 2,658 m tunnel will bypass Saint-Oyen. The investment budgeted by ANAS in its 2007-2011 programme amounts to EUR128 million. By next May, SITRASB will prepare the final project, financed up to EUR122,000 by the Aosta region, in accordance with the European directive on safety in tunnels. Then tenders will be invited.

Collegarsi a www.sitrasb.it 18/08.Restricted invitation to tender, deadline 1st September, 2008 for design and construction of the 2.9 km Saint-Oyen bypass on road SS 27 to the Gran San Bernardo pass. The contract includes a 2,658 m single bore tunnel to bypass the town of Saint-Oyen. It is part of a road upgrade between Etroubles and the Gran San Bernardo cross-border tunnel, divided in two separate tenders: the Saint-Oyen bypass (lot I) and the Etroubles bypass (lot II), which will require a 1.5 km bored tunnel. The new Saint-Oyen bypass will improve mobility in the Gran San Bernardo valley to Switzerland, thus developing cross-border ties. The existing SS 27 road to the Gran San Bernardo is very sinuous with steep gradients. It is a single carriageway with one lane per direction. It is the unique communication link from the Gran San Bernardo tunnel to Aosta and vice versa.

ENEL awarded the construction of the headrace tunnel for the Crevola Toce III hydropower scheme to a joint venture led by SELI (82%), with Monti (14%) and Giacomini Comm. Alberto (4%) as other partners. Visit www.montispa.it, www.agifin.com/giacominispa/index_giacominispa.html and www.selitunnel.com or www.selitecnologie.comThe length of the headrace tunnel is 9,128 m. Its cross-section is 13.85 sq m, the outer diameter is 4,200 mm and the inner diameter equals 3,900 mm. A TBM will bore 8,589 metres while 565 metres will be drilled and blasted.From the geological point of view, the area of the headrace tunnel entirely involves litotypes belonging to lower Pennidic Units and among these the bedrock through which the tunnel will be excavated is composed of Valgrande gneiss (fine grain granitic gneiss), a series of Teggiolo metasediments (carbonatic rocks of the Mesozoic age comprising marble, dolomites and micaschists) intercalated between the Valgrande gneiss and the Antigorio gneiss (ortogneiss), metasediments of the Baceno syncline, a carbonatic sequence interbedded between the Baceno micaschists and the Antigorio gneiss, consisting of dolomitic marble and/or micaschists, calcareous clayey schists, dolomitic marble and anhydrite, and Baceno micaschists and micaschists. The tunnel path runs mainly through the Antigorio gneiss, but the detailed analysis of the preliminary studies identified a series of geomechanical issues that the tunnelling will face through the metasediments, approximately at chainage 6,500 and stretching for a length of 350 to 500 metres. The metasediments comprises the following lithology: marble and averagely to highly fractured calcareous clayey schists, massively to averagely fractured anhydrites, locally with micaceous contents, and dolomitic sediments completely wheatered with characteristics of soil.The TBM and the back-up have been completely designed by SELI and will be constructed in SELI's facilities in Aprilia. The basic concept is to produce a compact TBM system easy to transport, assemble and operate and capable of reducing the construction costs while keeping the typical productivity and versatility of double schield TBMs. It is a notable technical innovation especially studied for multiple use in small diameter tunnels, for small to medium lengths. The TBM System DSU Compact will be outfitted to install traditional supports: rock bolts, welded mesh, steel arches, shotcrete, fibre-glass rods and steel bars, as required by the geological conditions. The rock will be run out on a conveyor belt to the mouth of the tunnel.Tunnelling is programmed to begin on 16th June, 2008 and to end on 15th September, 2010. 06/08.
