HS2 (High Speed Rail) can be considered the largest infrastructure project in Europe. Its construction will take the next 15 years and the new lines will be operational until the next century. Overall, the HS2 trains will serve 25 stations that will connect around 30 million people, with an estimated 100 million passengers a year upon completion of the sections.
This is one of the largest ongoing projects in Europe in the transport sector. It deals with the realization of nos. 4 new railway lines for a total of about 200 km.
For this important project in Spain, FPC Italia is starting the shipment of the first spherical bearings type Tetron SB. The total of the order provides for n. 292 devices including fixed, unidirectional and multidirectional bearings.
Following information collected over the years and after a timely inspection carried out at the end of last year, together with the highway manager we have defined a global maintenance intervention aimed at restoring the correct functioning of the bearings and anti-seismic restraints.
This is the supply of ISOSISM isolators and SX rubber expansion joints for 5 mixed structure viaducts and precisely: n. 28 HDRB dia. 450 and n. 18 HDRB dia 500 mm all made with HARD compound and over 100 meters of expansion joints.
We have been to some sites for which Freyssinet BU Italy has been awarded the activities for base isolation with seismic devices.
FPC Italia and Freysas have been awarded an important job to build 3 different ILM viaducts (incremental launch method) for the new Fuzuli-Shusha highway in Azerbaïdjan.
Freyssinet's BU Italy has been awarded a job as interesting as it is delicate. This is the retrofit of two hospital pavilions made entirely of steel for which we have designed, produced and tested rubber isolators type HDRB dia. 400 mm of the ISOSISM range.
We are talking about Tetron SB spherical bearings for the Rail Rabat bridge of the Casablanca railway line. Bearings designed with vertical loads ranging from 6000 to 26000 kN, horizontal loads over 3000 kN and movement over 200 mm.
In recent weeks, sites Dept. has completed maintenance work on the modular joint type LWS 1200 on the South carriageway of the Morra viaduct (SAT).
Launching operations of the new double arch bridge over the Po, in the Province of Mantua
The project is Perth's first major elevated railway, designed to improve public transport safety, create versatile new public spaces for the local community and reduce traffic congestion.
FPC Italia has been awarded the replacement and supply of new POT bearings and the supply and installation of expansion joints on the SS33 Sempione and Olona.
Launching operations of the second arch bridge of the NA-BA high-speed line
FPC Italia, in collaboration with Freyssinet Australia PTY, got the supply of special bearings for two bridges in the connecting road between the West Gate Freeway and Yarraville (Melbourne).
Freyssinet BU Italia site dept., in recent weeks, has completed a very demanding and delicate intervention on a railway bridge of the Termoli-Campobasso line in the Ripabottoni area.
FPC Italia, in collaboration with Freyssinet Mexico, managed to win a contract for the supply of seismic isolators ISOSISM type PS to be installed at the base of a school in the state of Oaxaca, in southern Mexico.
In Turin, from 11th to 15th September 2022, ANIDIS (Associazione Nazionale di Ingegneria Sismica) and ASSISi Association (Anti-Seismic Systems International Society) will organize a conference to promote a critical confrontation between researchers and professionals in the construction sector through their respective Conferences (XIX ANIDIS Conference and XVII Assisi Conference) which for the first time will take place in a combined and coordinated form.
FPC ITALIA has opened its Lindekin page which can be found at the address https://www.linkedin.com/company/37512778/admin/
