The Company is also a finalist in the “Major Project of the Year” category for the amount between 50 M Euros and 500 M Euros with the Isarco River Undercrossing project, completed under Italferr 's Works Supervision, submitted by BBT - Brenner Base Tunnel.

The finalists have been invited to register for the ITA Awards, which will take place in Genoa at the Magazzini del Cotone venue. The Awarding Committee will present medals to the first, second and third place rankings in each category.

The trophy will be a sculpture representing Isambard Kingdom Brunel, the engineer who designed the first Tunnel under the Thames in London, completed in 1843.
