INTEGRATED LOGISTIC POLE OF MORTARA (LOMBARDIA, ITALY)

COMMITMENT: Polo Logistico Integrato di Mortara S.p.a. - Italy

DATE: 2005-2012

PROJECT VALUE: € 24 millions

TYPE OF WORK: Technical-Economic and Financial Feasibility Study; Basic Design; Construction Design; Construction Supervision; Safety Planning and Safety Coordination during the construction; Project Management.

DESCRIPTION OF THE ACTIVITIES AND RESPONSIBILITY:

Transplan has carried out all the project phases, inclusive the supervision during the construction of the multimodal terminal, which is operating from December 2009 inside the Pole of Mortara.

The multimodal terminal covers an area of approx. 110.000 sq.m. and includes n.3 tracks for the loading/unloading operations with 630 m length, n.4 electrified tracks to support with 650 m length and a railway electrified branch (approx. 2 km) linked with the Mortara station. The terminal has a maximum capacity of 9 trains couples/day, supposing the use of gantry cranes, given that the fixed runways are already predisposed.

During the planning phase, TRANSPLAN has designed:

• the railway and multimodal lay-out,
• the yard sizing with the verification of the areas width to permit the circulation/manoeuvres of the road heavy vehicles,
• the electrification of the railway branch up to the Mortara station and the electrification of the n.4 supporting tracks,
• the modification to the signalling system of the Mortara station.

During the construction phase, TRANSPLAN has coordinated and given supervision to the following activities:

• railway superstructure,
• electrification the line up to the Mortara station,
• signalling and telecommunication systems.

The project in progress: the first operating phase started up at December 2009 with the traffic opening of the railway terminal.
