📋 Tender Overview
- The initiative falls within the scope of the “Cantieri Parlanti” project, created by the FS Group in collaboration with the MIT
Satisfy your curiosities about the construction phases of the work and closely witness the progress of the works for tomorrow's station. With these objectives, the construction site of the new Belfiore high-speed station opened its doors to 40 citizens of Florence this morning for the second time after last December. The visit is part of the “ Cantieri Parlanti ” project, created by the FS Group – with the companies of the Infrastructure Hub RFI and Italferr – in collaboration with the MIT .
A guided tour in which the participants, accompanied by representatives of the Client, after an explanation of the project had the opportunity to access the construction site areas and visit the Infopoint in via Circondaria, now a point of reference for anyone wishing to acquire information on the project and its evolution.
During the meeting, RFI representatives provided not only details on the progress of the works , but also on the architectural choices that will characterize the new station. Particular attention has been paid, in fact, to the steel-glass roof which will rise approximately 18 meters in height and will allow natural light to reach the iron surface. The lowered vaulted roof with photovoltaic cells incorporated into the intermediate panels will act as an "artificial sky", capable of filtering sunlight and replicating the external colors inside the structure.
Among the topics addressed during the visit were also the route of the work, the design choices, the progress of the TBM and the management of the excavated earth. Visitors, in fact, had the opportunity to observe in real time the loading of the soil onto the railway trains departing for Santa Barbara.
