We are pleased to announce the signing of the contract for the Executive Design of the Variant to State Road SS12 “dell’Abetone e del Brennero”, from Buttapietra to the Verona South Ring Road. IRD Engineering leads the design team within the design-and-build contract awarded by ANAS S.p.A. (FS Italiane Group) to Consorzio Stabile Europeo Costruttori (CEC).
The project at a glance:
- A new 14.5 km two-lane extra-urban road between Verona South and Isola della Scala
- Municipalities crossed: Verona, Castel d’Azzano, Buttapietra, Vigasio and Isola della Scala
- Total investment of approximately €263 million
- Works scheduled over approximately 1,000 days
The new road will divert through-traffic, including heavy goods vehicles, away from Ca’ di David and the other communities along the existing SS12. It will also integrate with the Strada di Gronda promoted by the City of Verona to form a new bypass system south of the city.
The main works include the San Giorgio Viaduct and its access ramps, a new railway underpass at Ca’ di David built with a jacked box structure, steel and composite structures, hydraulic works, noise barriers, and landscaping and environmental mitigation works.
As lead designer, IRD Engineering will coordinate a multidisciplinary team made up of Idroesse Engineering, MADA Engineering, Archimede and VDP, supported by specialist agronomy and archaeology consultants. The design will be developed in BIM, in line with ANAS’s information requirements.
This award strengthens our presence in the Italian road sector and renews our collaboration with CEC, following the design of the new hydrogen-powered railway link between Alghero Airport and the city centre.
We thank ANAS and CEC for their confidence in our team. We look forward to contributing to the delivery of this long-awaited infrastructure for the Verona area.
