Inauguration of Mitre Viaduct, Buenos Aires Argentina The project consists in the elevation of a 3.8 km railway section with 2 elevated stations, connecting the centre of Buenos Aires (Argentina) with the Tigre area. The challenging time schedule, and the subsequent execution acceleration plan, have involved complex challenges and problems solution, confirming Deal, a Rizzani de Eccher parent company, as a reliable engineering provider as well as technical partner. Following an acceleration agreement imposed by the client, the initial set-up of the work had to be changed according to the new requests, responding to various needs in a very short time. The new conditions required considerable efforts in terms of engineering, partial redesign of the moulds, new launching equipment, as well as adapting other spare equipment to the new requirements. Rizzani de Eccher has then decided to implement a permanent engineering task force on site in order to improve communication with the designer, maintaining its presence for the entire duration of the construction site. The huge efforts have permitted to meet the new schedule and inaugurate the project in record time, with an official ceremony conducted personally by the President of the Republic of Argentina Macri.

Honolulu, USA First span erected in Honolulu for the articulated gantry!

Gran Manglar Viaduct: out top project in Colombia!

Rapid Transportation System, Honolulu, USA While we are running fast with our conventional launching gantry, in Honolulu for the Rapid Transportation System, we are ready to start the load test of one of the two articulated equipment. As it minimizes the “right of way”, the articulated gantry is particularly suggested on highly populated urban area and along an alignment having very tight curves. Our mission is safety and reliability, therefore we do not use hinges on the main structure to supports the span under assembling.

Il Paese Sera 22 h · A Doha, in Qatar, dopo sei anni di lavori è stata inaugurata la nuova metro 🚆🚆🇧🇭 👇 ---------------------------------------------- METRO QATAR di Linda Dorigo Quaranta chilometri di linea rossa a elevata automazione, tredici stazioni servite a una velocità di 100 chilometri orari e tre classi di compartimenti. La nuova metro di #Doha, in #Qatar, è stata inaugurata ieri dopo sei anni di lavori in vista dei mondiali di calcio del 2022. La linea rossa, che corre lungo la costa dal distretto di al-Qassar nella capitale nella città meridionale di al-Wakrah, è solo la prima di tre, che verranno realizzate entro il 2020. Il paese punta a gestire 75 treni, completare altre 37 stazioni oltre alle linee verde e oro. Una seconda fase dei lavori includerà la linea blu e ulteriori 60 stazioni da realizzare entro il 2026. Un biglietto di sola andata in un scompartimento standard costa due Riyals (circa 50 centesimi) mentre uno di prima classe dieci (circa 2,50€). Il tempo totale di attraversamento da al-Qassar a al-Wakrah è di circa 35 minuti. Nei pressi di quest’ultimo capolinea è situato uno degli otto stadi di calcio che ospiteranno la World Cup con una capacità di 40mila posti. Gli altri sette sono lo stadio internazionale Khalifa costruito nel 1976, il Lusail, quello di Al Bayt, l’Education City all’interno del complesso universitario, il secondo in ordine di grandezza Al Rayyan, e infine Al Thumama e Ras Aboud. «La coppa del mondo in Russia è stata la migliore di sempre – ha commentato il presidente della FIFA Gianni Infantino durante i sopralluoghi a Doha avvenuti a ottobre scorso – e quella del 2022 deve essere ancora meglio». I presupposti ci sono tutti, e i lavori di quella che è la più importante opera pubblica qatariota hanno visto la partecipazione di due compagnie italiane, la Salini Impregilo e la Rizzani De Eccher. La prima si è aggiudicata il premio Qatar Sustainability Awards 2017 nella categoria Best Green Building Contractor per il progetto della linea rossa. In Qatar Salini è coinvolta anche nella realizzazione del complesso sportivo Al Khor, sempre per i campionati mondiali. La Rizzani De Eccher è impegnata nel completamento della linea rossa nord e della stazione adiacente all’aeroporto Hamad, due commesse dal valore di 900 milioni di dollari.

El Ain El Sokhna, Egypt Innovative solutions for underwater pipe laying in the construction of Supercritical Thermal Power Plant. The new El Ain Sokhna Supercritical Thermal Power Plant, located 50km South of Suez City, consists of 2x650 MW steam power plant for strengthening and interconnection of the Egyptian Power System. Cooling waters for the plant are sucked by 3 off-shore parallel pipe lines of 3m nominal diameter offshore intake GRP pipes stretching over a kilometre into the Red Sea. These have an approximate length of 1,200m and are designed for a flow rate of about 17 m3/sec. The intake pipes are located both onshore and offshore: those below the sea bottom are positioned on a trench, surrounded by a granular backfill, a filter layer and covered by a rip-rap layer. The SeaHorse was designed for a precise installation and accommodation of the offshore GRP pipe lines of length and dimeter of 36m and 3m respectively; the equipment drastically reduces underwater pipe laying and installation activities that would otherwise be carried out with crawler cranes positioned on barges, guided by a crew of divers working in a very low visibility environment. The apparatus mainly consists of a steel frame supporting the 36m long pipe that can be positioned with particular precision inside the previously excavated trench. A system of hydraulic jacks, managed by a control station on barge and hydraulically powered by an umbilical pipe on reel, allows the very accurate positioning and the connection with previously laid sections.

Port of Genoa, Italy DEAL continues to expand its reach into other fields: port operations and bulk materials handling A perfect example is the supply of a Bulk Materials Hopper for a port operator client in Genoa. Notwithstanding the completely new operating environment, DEAL has stuck to its trademark approach of first understanding the client’s specific requirements and then work out the solution that perfectly serves such requirements. In this case, the process required a detailed study of the loading and unloading operations and the knowledge of the different materials handled, in order to define the ideal point of convergence between costs, efficiency and reliability, while ensuring the maximum level of safety at all times. The hopper was developed in close cooperation with the client, who provided continuous inputs and feedback. All equipment functions are remote-controlled by means of a sophisticated electronic system, connected to the controlling system of other equipment working simultaneously. The commissioning of the hopper took time to allow for the fine-tuning of all the functions and operations, resulting in a perfectly integrated system capable of controlling, monitoring and recording all the loading and unloading operation. Client: Terminal Rinfuse Italia Spa Deal supply: Hopper Unloading Capacity: 1000 ton/h Span length: 28.4 m
