CREG's EPB TBM Ready to Perform in Italy

The Turin-Venice high-speed rail is part of the Pan-European Multimodal Corridor, which traverses the northern part of Italy and connects the northwest to the northeast of the country. It is an important gateway for Western European countries such as Spain and France and Eastern Europe.

The Milan to Verona section is a key section of the railway plan. And the TBM tunnel between Lonato del Garda and Desenzano del Garda, is the most complex part of the route. The owner, RFI (Italian Railways) assigned it to Consorzio CEPAV Due (formed by Saipem SpA, Impresa Pizzarotti & C and Gruppo ICM SpA).

The bored tunnel is located in Lonato, a tiny scenic town on the shores of Lake Garda. It consists of two drives of total length 9,564 m (2×4,782 m) with an axis distance of 30 m, and overburden of 5-80 m.
