📋 Tender Overview
- positioned on the seabed off the city, the eleventh mega cassone of the new Foranea Dam in Genoa, one of the most complex maritime works under construction in Europe, created by the Pergenova Breakwater Consortium led by Webuild on behalf of the Port System Authority of the Western Ligurian Sea.
The infrastructure, developed entirely in the open sea, represents a strategic intervention for the competitiveness of the port of Genoa and the entire logistical system of northern Italy. With a length that in its final configuration will reach 6.2 kilometers, and a depth of laying up to 50 meters-the deepest ever conceived in Europe for a Foranea dam-the work will allow access to the port of the new generation ships of up to 400 meters long and is destined to strengthen the role of the Ligurian airport in the Rhine-Alps corridor of the TEN-T network.
The sinking of the eleventh cassone is part of a work forwarding that has already seen the laying of over 2,200 tons of gravel and the construction of almost 39,000 columns submerged for the consolidation of the seabed. The submerged columns built to date are equal to 454,000 linear meters, more than half of the total length of those envisaged by the project.
The new Foranea dam is a project that combines engineering innovation, environmental sustainability and strategic vision for the future of Italian logistics. In synergy with the unique third project of the Giovi-Nodo of Genoa, currently underway and also made by Webuild, it will contribute to creating an integrated and modern infrastructure system, capable of responding to the challenges of mobility and global trade.
