Webuild, ‘live construction sites’ for citizens’ infrastructures are underway

Climb on a bridge designed only in the projects, admire a subway station still closed to the public, stroll through the tunnels where a high-speed train will run, but above all enter, physically or virtually, into usually armored construction sites, where large complex infrastructures are built . Webuild has chosen transparency and the participation of citizens in the construction phases of the infrastructures with the “live construction sites” operation, to put projects, work in safety, innovation and sustainability at the center of Italy’s recovery. A communication project, underlines a note, active with the territories, which unites Italy, from the North to the South, to allow the non-experts to closely follow the works that Webuild is carrying out with the entire supply chain, in the phase of their construction. To date there are 15 active live webcams, mounted inside the construction sites in Italy, with which it is possible to follow the progress of the work in progress in real time. 12 webcams can be consulted by connecting directly to the corporate Webuild site. Of these, 4 webcams are operational in the construction sites of the Terzo Valico dei Giovi-Nodo di Genova (the high speed that will connect Genoa with Milan in less than an hour), a major development accelerator that engages 2,300 companies (direct and indirect) and about 5 thousand workers; 4 other webcams are distributed between the San Babila and Sant’Ambrogio sites of the M4 underground in Milan, the underground that will connect the center to Linate airport in a few minutes. Another 4 webcams are mounted in the Sicilian construction sites of the Bicocca-Catenanuova railway line, part of the fast Palermo-Catania connection. In addition, 3 webcams are also active in the construction sites of Line C in Rome, which will soon be available on the Webuild website. A further 6 live webcams will be activated shortly, of which 2 in the construction sites of the Genoa junction and 4 in those of the high speed / high capacity Verona-Padua. All this while respecting the privacy of workers, thanks to systems that inhibit the recognition of faces. “Transparent works, open to citizens, aspiring engineers or even just curious, interested in understanding what happens inside a construction site. A practice in infrastructures built by Webuild, which from the experience of the reconstruction of the Genoa San Giorgio Bridge is extending to the other works in progress in Italy. Webuild was one of the first companies in the sector in the world to open its construction sites to the public “continues the note. Transparent construction sites are also construction sites physically open to citizens, to bring the works closer to those who will be their final users. In Italy there are 27 large infrastructure projects on which Webuild is currently involved together with a supply chain of 8,000 companies, a great boost to the restart of the Italian economy through marvels of engineering and technology, which also thanks to initiatives on transparency, become assets collective.
