Rome: Past, Present, and Future<br />
Maire <strong>Tecnimont</strong> has been present in Rome since 1983, when the original Maire<br />
companies were founded. The Group now has its legal and administrative headquarters<br />
in Italy’s capital city, sharing office space with the engineering task force working on<br />
mass transport systems, and with the wholly owned subsidiary MST, a leading player in<br />
public-sector facility management. Maire has completed a number of important<br />
projects in the Rome area in recent years, including civil and industrial buildings,<br />
cultural heritage restoration projects, and urban development programmes. The most<br />
prominent was the construction of the new Ara Pacis Museum designed by the architect<br />
Richard Meyer in the centre of Rome, which is built around the imperial Roman altar<br />
dedicated to peace. Maire <strong>Tecnimont</strong>’s activities in the city are currently focused on<br />
mass transportation systems.<br />
Metro Rome – B1 Line<br />
The B1 Line project, started in 2005, involves the detailed<br />
design and construction of a Metro line that is completely<br />
underground. Three stations are being constructed:<br />
Annibaliano, Gondar, and Conca d’Oro, one of which is 36<br />
metres below the surface. The tunnel boring machine<br />
(TBM) earth pressure balance (EPB) excavation<br />
technology used in the project permits a significant<br />
reduction of overlying soils of low mechanical<br />
performance and high water content in areas of<br />
significant historical and architectural interest. The work<br />
will be completed by 2011.<br />
In 2008 <strong>Tecnimont</strong> started to extend the B1 line by 1,100<br />
metres from Conca d’Oro to the next station, Piazzale<br />
Ionio. The project involves the construction of three car<br />
parks near the stations. The value of the project is about<br />
¤160 million, of which <strong>Tecnimont</strong>’s share is 16%.<br />

Excellence in High-Speed Railways<br />
Maire <strong>Tecnimont</strong> has been involved with high-speed railways for<br />
many years and has developed considerable experience and<br />
expertise. The Group is part of the CAVET and CAVTOMI consortia<br />
taking part to the construction of two of the most important<br />
Italian high-speed lines from Turin to Milan and from Florence to<br />
Bologna. TAV, the subsidiary of Italian State Railways responsible<br />
for high-speed development, has entrusted the two consortia with<br />
the preliminary, final and detailed design, environmental impact<br />
assessment, environmental monitoring services, and related<br />
construction works for the two lines.<br />
The Turin-Milan line will have a length of 125 km, and includes<br />
four interconnections with existing lines, 150 km of ordinary<br />
roads and motorways and 16 motorway junctions. The first part of<br />
the line, from Turin to Novara, is already in operation.<br />
<strong>Tecnimont</strong>’s share of the entire project was worth about ¤380<br />
million at the contract date.<br />
The 78 km Bologna-Florence railway line has one interconnection<br />
with existing lines, 73.4 km of tunnels and 110 km of ordinary<br />
roads. The project is technologically complex, with over 90% of<br />
the line being laid in tunnels under the Apennine Mountains. The<br />
consortium has had to overcome many technical problems,<br />
including the excavation of tunnels in poor and variable terrain.<br />
The mountainous nature of the Apennine region has also made it<br />
necessary to carry out large-scale landscaping and other<br />
infrastructural work. The line will enter into operation by the end<br />
of 2009. <strong>Tecnimont</strong>’s share of the project was about ¤490 million<br />
at the contract date.<br />
<strong>Tecnimont</strong> has also developed the preliminary and final design and<br />
environmental impact assessment for the civil works and railway<br />
superstructure for the long-awaited Milan-Genoa high-speed<br />
railway. The Company is part of the COCIV consortium that will<br />
handle design and construction. The project will consist of 54 km of<br />
double-track line, of which 37 km will be in tunnels. The Italian<br />
government decided recently to push ahead with this long-delayed<br />
project because of its strategic importance for the national economy.<br />
