Breakthrough in Basci

Driving and lining works have been completed in the 530 m-long Basci tunnel, on the new Aurelia road section from Albisola to Savona in Liguria, Italy. The Consortium Letimbro, headed by CMC, started TBM excavation at 13.72 m-diameter in April, 2014. The TBM will be transferred from the west end of Basci tunnel to the east end of the 2,010 m San Paolo tunnel, where it will be launched this month. The final tunnel to be driven will be the 1,125 m Cappuccini tunnel in 2016. The TBM will then be dismantled in the extraction shaft near Via Schiantapetto at Savona.
