The temporary joint venture (RTI) comprising Webuild SpA, Eteria Consorzio Stabile Scarl, Costruire SpA, ICM SpA and MN–Metropolitana di Napoli SpA has been awarded the EUR 660 million contract for the executive design and construction of the civil works (Lot 1) of Naples Metro Line 10, to be delivered in phases. The contract includes the construction of an initial 6.5‑km section (Phase 1A) and grants exclusive rights to carry out additional works—pending financing—up to a total value exceeding EUR 1.7 billion for the future completion of the line.

A second RTI, comprising CAF – Construcciones y Auxiliar de Ferrocarriles SA, Leonardo SpA, MermecSTE Srl, AET Srl and Francesco Ventura Costruzioni Srl, has been awarded the EUR 540 million contract for design, technological systems and rolling stock (Lot 2) for Line 10.

Initial funding amounts to EUR 1.2 billion, of which EUR 870 million is allocated to the Municipality of Naples and EUR 330 million is provided by the Campania Region under the POR FESR 2021–2027 programme, within a broader EUR 3.1 billion project.

Line 10 will extend approximately 14 km from the Napoli‑Afragola High‑Speed Station to Principe Umberto Station, almost entirely underground, with tunnels excavated partly using traditional methods and partly with TBMs. Phase 1A will cross the municipalities of Afragola, Casoria, Casavatore and Naples, with seven stations: three to be fully built (Di Vittorio, Casoria Centro, Afragola) and four to be partially built in this first phase (Casavatore San Pietro, Casoria Casavatore, Casoria Afragola, Afragola Garibaldi). Completion of the line will add a further 7.3 km and five stations, finish the four partially built stations, and include additional works such as a new park‑and‑ride facility serving the Napoli‑Afragola High‑Speed Station.

The 12 stations planned for the full project will be built with measures to minimise urban impact, with structures reaching depths of up to 45 m and tunnels with an internal diameter of 8.6 m.

Line 10 will become a key new component of Naples’ public transport system, providing new interchange nodes with Metro Lines 1, 2 and 11 and with the Circumvesuviana railway.

Between Consovero di Margarita and Cuneo (subsections 1.3 to 1.6), Lot 1.5 includes two artificial tunnels (932 and 119 m). Between Guarene and Roddi (subsection 2.5), a 1 km twin tunnel is planned under river Tanaro. Between Roddi and diga Enel (subsection 2.6), the 3,538 m Verduno tunnel will be driven, a twin tube with 2,984 m bored plus 495 m in cut-and-cover on the Cuneo side and 59 m on the Asti side. Each tube will feature two 3.75 m-wide lanes, and a safety lane of 3 m. Visit www.provincia.cuneo.it and www.enteanas.it 11/02.Autostrada Asti-Cuneo - including Salt, Grassetto Lavori and Itinera - won the concession contract for the Asti-Cuneo motorway A33. These three companies hold 65% of the new concession company while ANAS, the public road administration, holds 35%. The 90 km Asti-Cuneo motorway has been divided into 16 subsections, worth EUR1.6 billion. ANAS has financed seven of these subsections, either already opened or nearing end. The new concessionaire will finance, build and operate the remaining nine subsections. The subsections to be constructed by the new concessionaire are: 1.3, 1.4, 1.5 and 1.6 on section 1 and 2.5, 2.6, 2.1A, 2.1B and 2.1.Dir on section 2.

The concession has not taken effect yet, the contract has still to be signed. Construction of the tunnels commissioned to the concessionaire has not commenced. The subsections financed by ANAS will be transferred to the new concesionaire once their construction is finished.The project includes several tunnels: Sant'Albano (2 x 180 m) and Mercatale (2 x 621 m), both on subsection 1.5 (Cuneo slip road), Alba (3,527 m / 3,356 m) on subsection 2.5 Guarene-Roddi and Verduno (4,023 m / 4,119 m) on subsection 2.6 Roddi-Diga Enel. The Roreto tunnel (800 m / 650 m) is under construction on subsection 2.8 Cherasco-Marene toll plaza on the A6, financed by ANAS. All are mined tunnels except the cut-and-cover Sant'Albano tunnel. The Alba tunnel will cross river Tanaro.The mined length of the Roreto tunnel spans 645 m for each bore. Progress on the first tube has reached 77% (500 m), the second is 48% complete (310 m). The cut-and-cover part is finished. The contractor is CMB (Cooperativa Muratori e Braccianti di Carpi). Visit www.cmbcarpi.itFor tunnelling, two Hitachi ZAXIS 350 excavators are used. The face is supported with 60 18 m-long glass fibre bolts, injected at low pressure with expansive grout, and umbrella vaults formed by 41 FE510 steel pipes, 14 m long, installed around the crown. The contour is supported with 55 18 m-long glass fibre bolts, injected with low pressure expansive grout. The wall base is supported with 10 14 m-long glass fibre bolts, injected with low pressure expansive grout. Six forepoles are implemented at the face as excavation progresses (length of 30 m) with overlap of 10-20 m minimum. Steel arches (type 2IPN) are subsequently installed every metre, then wire mesh, steel fibre-reinforced shotcrete around the contour (thickness 25 cm) and at the face (thickness 10 cm). The minimum dosage is 30 kg/cu m. The suppliers are Ellas Geotecnica for the expansive grouts and glass fibre bolts at the face, Calcestruzzi (Italcementi Group) for the concrete and shotcrete, Metallegno for the steel arches, wire mesh and steel profiles in general and Maccaferri for the steel fibres to reinforce the shotcrete.
