The railway thinks green

Fast and eco-friendly, the new Bari-Noicattaro stretch is almost complete. Begun in June 2019, CMB and professional subcontractors have created

an ideal alternative to the use of the car: the electrification of the entire stretch reduces climate-altering emissions

. The project involves an environmental reorganisation of the areas, and the decision was taken to implement a shared monitoring plan along with the Local Health Authority to prevent noise, vibrations and dust from causing damage to housing and to people.

ROUND-THE-CLOCK OPERATION Some 240 people and 150 vehicles and types of technical equipment have been used on the construction sites.

Technical Description

The renovation work officially began in June 2019, and since then, the construction sites have remained operative 24/7. As well as the city of Bari, the works involved the areas of Triggiano, Capurso and Noicattaro, covering a stretch totalling 10.434 km. The first phase of the project involved the construction of a box tunnel with a height of 6.85 m and a width of 10 m, with the installation of inclined slabs and a handrail, to link Triggiano railway station to the town of Capurso. Near Noicattaro station, a number of important earthworks and structural works were carried out, including manholes and stone arch bridges. For the reorganisation and environmental redevelopment of Triggiano and Capurso, the existing level crossings were replaced by a train control system that guarantees greater safety right along the rail line. To protect the homes located near the construction sites, an environmental monitoring plan was implemented along with the Local Health Authority, involving checks carried out on the noise, vibrations and dust emitted.

Ancient vases of Capurso

During the work, important findings emerged in Capurso (Bari) dating to the Copper Age. A craftsmanship area, remains of structures, remains of fauna and pottery were examined by Anna Maria Tunzi of the “Superintendency for the Protection, Preservation and Restoration of Archaeological Heritage” of Bari. Scientific results indicate that the origins of the town date back at least 5000 years.

Box tunnel

The towns of Triggiano and Capurso have been connected by a “box tunnel” with a height of 6.85 m and a width of 10 m, created using prefabricated elements that can be adapted to any foundation solution. They are quick to install and reduce open excavation times. For the infrastructure, Paver retaining walls (also known for T walls) were used, as recommended for major infrastructures.
