TURIN-LYON
The new French-Italian freight and passenger link at the heart of the Mediterranean Corridor
It connects the Iberian Peninsula to Eastern Europe, passing through Italy via the Turin-Trieste route. A central part of the new line is the 65-kilometer long cross-border section from Susa to Saint-Jean-de-Maurienne in France to Bussoleno in Piedmont, crossing the Alps via the Mont Cenis Base Tunnel.
Italferr, in a grouping with Systra France, Pini Group and SETEC, a French engineering company, has been involved for many years in the design of the Turin-Lyon line and is currently engaged in the activities of Works Management of Base Tunnel 4 for lot CO 6-7 in the French section and for lots CO3-4 in the Italian section, following the awarding of the two tenders called by Tunnel Euralpin Lyon Turin (TELT).
| CO1 WORK SITE |
| The CO1 Work Site concerns the construction of a 3.6 km interconnection section that, through the Bussoleno Interconnection Tunnels (2 km), connects the New Turin-Lyon Line to the historical RFI line. In 2024, the contractual documents were prepared to allow the client TELT to call for tenders to identify the Contractor to be awarded the contract. |
| CO2 WORK SITE |
| The CO2 Work Site concerns the construction of a 2.5 km section that, crossing the Susa Plain, connects the Interconnection Tunnels to the Italy-side entrance to the Base Tunnel, the Susa International Station and the Bridge over the Dora. |
| CO3-4 WORK SITE |
| The CO3-4 Work Site concerns the construction of the base tunnel in the Italian section from the Susa plain, with the entrance at the new international station belonging to the CO2 operating site, with a length of about 12 km in double tube. The site is completed by the construction of a complex system of logistic tunnels for the management of traditional and mechanised excavation and excavated material, with particular reference to the storage of the spoil consisting of the so-called green stones. |
| CO6-7 WORK SITE |
| The CO6-7 Work Site is the lot with the greatest impact on the entire section of the Turin-Lyon base tunnel. In fact, it involves the construction of approximately 27 km of twin-tube tunnel with a complex safety post consisting of a group of intersecting tunnels connected to each other and to the outside. The work is completed by the logistic tunnels/caverns inside which the 3 TBMs ordered for the excavation of this section will be assembled and moved. |
Work is scheduled for completion in 2032.
