Rete Ferroviaria Italiana (RFI) awarded to the consortium of Pizzarotti and Saipem the EUR 1.15 bn, excluding VAT, contract to build the 7km the High Speed Railway Bypass and the Belfiore High Speed Station in Florence, Italy. The two parallel tunnels will be constructed at an average depth of 20m using a TBM. The station has been designed by the architect Foster and engineering firm Ove Arup and partners.
In recent months, the revamping of the TBM at the Campo Marte site has continued. The preparatory activities for the disassembly of the machine were started in August and will continue until March 2023. They will also continue with overhauling, replacing components and reassembling. By the end of March 2023, once all operations and preliminary tests have been completed, the TBM can be put into operation.
