Webuild: “Ponte Genova an example of how Italy can accelerate the recovery path”

“3 August 2020 – 3 August 2021. Ponte San Giorgio is one year old. One year after an inauguration celebrated with the evolution of the Frecce Tricolori under the gaze of the President of the Republic Sergio Mattarella. An event that contained many stories and many meanings together: the sense of national unity, the desire for rebirth after the hardest months of Covid-19, the desire for redemption from the tragedy of the Morandi Bridge. Today the bridge represents an example of how Italy can accelerate its path of economic recovery through infrastructures built quickly “. To underline this is the Webuild group in a note. “A few days after the publication of the data contained in the” Infrastructure “Annex of the 2021 Economic and Finance Document, the country is called upon to spend 178.9 billion (total value of the allocated resources) to modernize its infrastructures and restart the country . The legacy that the bridge leaves behind, in addition to the technical and engineering skill expressed by the Webuild Group which, together with Fincantieri, carried out the work, is – highlights the group – in the ability to transform a construction site into a great opportunity for collaboration with all local actors, in a joint effort. “The so-called“ Genoa Model ”, which has become the expression of a new way of transforming investments into tangible works, was born – continues Webuild – on the one hand from the operational efficiency ensured by construction companies; on the other hand by the “team game” activated between all the subjects involved, Commissioner and institutions, builders, companies in the supply chain, control bodies, civil society. Businesses and workers have contributed to this race against time. In addition to the Webuild Group, 330 companies alternated on the Genoa site, almost all, 99%, represented by Italian companies, with supplies worth 160 million euros. Over a thousand people were continuously involved in the construction of the bridge. Engineers, technicians, workers at work day and night, with the only stop at Christmas and New Year. Up to 40 teams operating at the same time to carry out what was in fact a widespread construction site, a work that was built simultaneously, from one bank of the Polcevera to the other “.
