Renewed commitment of the Infrastructure Hub to the development of increasingly sustainable solutions
Italferr, engineering company of the Infrastructure Business Unit of the FS Italiane Group, has been a leading participant – together with RFI (lead partner of the Hub) and ANAS – of the EU project LIFE-SILENT whose main aim is the development of sustainable and eco-compatible solutions for noise mitigation in complex and densely populated urban areas where multiple and different sources of noise coexist, mainly roads and railways.
This objective will be achieved through the improvement of durability of sound-absorbing pavements while leaving their acoustic and safety performance unchanged, and with the implementation of low height noise barriers (LHNB), selecting suitable recycled materials and carrying out a Life Cycle Sustainability Assessment (LCSA).
For this reason, the activities, promoted and coordinated by Production Services Management, in collaboration with the Administration, Finance and Control Management of Anas and starting on 1 September 2023 for a total duration of 60 months, will see the involvement of Italferr with the participation of the Innovation & Technical POC structure, Sustainability and Acoustic and Vibrational Studies departments.
The project is subsidised within the LIFE programme, the EU's funding instrument for the environment and climate action, managed by CINEA (European Climate, Infrastructure and Environment Executive Agency).
