T E S T I N G A N D A S S I S TA N C E I N S TA R T- U P
Italferr has developed the entire design
and construction cycle of Italy’s
High Speed rail lines (from feasibility
studies to entering into service),
and it has managed
the investment procedures in accordance
with the regulations for the tendering
and award of public works contracts.
High Speed ideas
Italferr undertakes the design, technical checking of design,
and supervision of construction of new High Speed lines
along the main railway lines in Italy: Milan-Rome-Naples
and Turin-Milan-Venice routes that run respectively
from North to South and from West to East of the country,
and the link between Milan and Genoa harbour.
Italy’s High Speed/High Capacity system extends over 1,000 km
and it has been designed to the most advanced technological
standards with speeds of not less than 300 km/h.
The new lines carry mixed traffic comprising
passenger and freight traffic and are being closely integrated
with the conventional railway network.

Italy’s new HS/HC railway lines are
the first in Europe to adopt the Level 2
European Railway Traffic Management
System/European Train Control System
(E R T M S / E T C S ), an exclusive system
designed and developed entirely in Italy
for controlling rail traffic
that ensures the highest level
of technological innovation and safety.
FS was the first in the world to adopt it,
and in 2006 received the Best Paper Award
from the World Congress
on Railway Research.
Adopted by the EU as standard
for new High Speed networks,
Level 2 E R T M S / E T C S eliminates the possibility
of human error, ensuring continuous control
over the train’s movement.
This result is the highest degree of safety
at the highest speeds,
enabling a greater frequency of trains,
which may run even only a few minutes
apart from one another.

excavated and documented.
Special measures were adopted
for sites of particular
importance, such as:
variations on the rail project,
extensive excavations beyond
the expropriation zone,
consolidation or partial or total
restoration of the structures found,
enhancement through ad hoc

it is an
essential link
in the
development
of a transEuropean
rail network
The objective of the French and Italian states is to use
this new link to produce a massive transfer of freight traffic
from road to rail.
This is all the more important in view of numerous projections
which indicate that by the year 2015, the existing road
and rail infrastructures will be saturated.
Transferring road traffic to rail will allow an increase
from the current 10 million tons of freight transported by rail
per year to more than 40 million tons in 2030.

National Transport Plan
New Bridge over the Danube
Italferr, as the leader of an international joint venture,
has prepared the Serbian National Transport Plan
on behalf of the European Agency for Reconstruction (E A R ).
Italferr was responsible for defining the network
development scenario for railway, road, airport
and river infrastructures until 2025 on Serbian territory,
considered to be the crossroads for Balkan transport,
in as much as it is crossed by Corridor X
(the axis between Germany-Austria and Greece-Turkey),
Corridor VII (the Danube)
and the Belgrade-Bar railway line.
These activities in Serbia concerned the study
of transport supply and demand,
analysing existing infrastructure,
developing a traffic model,
drawing up a comprehensive transport programme,
preparing an investment plan for infrastructure
and maintenance, preparing tenders
for feasibility studies and training technicians
from the local Infrastructure Ministry.
Also in S E R B I A , Italferr prepared
the conceptual design
and the preliminary design
for the new Zezelj steel bridge
over the Danube, in the town of Novi Sad
(to replace the old destroyed bridge)
and prepared the tender documents
necessary for awarding construction
of the new road/rail bridge.

Rehabilitation of Belgrade-Bar Railway Line
Italferr was entrusted with the study
for upgrading the Belgrade-Bar
railway line, which connects
the Danube River
and the Adriatic Sea.
The line connects the Serbian capital
and Montenegro’s Adriatic port
with a mountainous alignment
designed in the 1950s
and activated in 1976.
Amongst the structures,
there is the bridge
rising 200 metres above
the Mala Rijeka River,
which is considered
to be one of the highest
in the world.
Data collection on infrastructures,
operations and freight/passenger
traffic in the region
After a long period
of poor maintenance
and the absence
of upgrade interventions
connected with the
wartime conditions
of the region,
the Belgrade-Bar is now
jointly managed by

Pre-feasibility Study of Cairo-Alexandria High Speed Line
Modernisation of Cairo-Port Said Signalling System
Italferr has prepared the pre-feasibility study
for the High Speed rail line (220 km)
between Cairo and Alexandria,
two of the most densely populated cities
in Africa and the entire world
(Cairo, approximately 18 million inhabitants
and Alexandria, 6 million).
The study covers the technical-economic
and financial appraisal of the new rail corridor
to be used mainly for passenger transport,
with a maximum design speed
of 300 km/h (100 km/h for urban areas).

Arab Railway Network Study
Italferr, supported by a Jordanian consultancy firm,
has developed the Arab Railway Network Study.
The study (funded by the Arab Fund for Social and Economic Development)
involves a comprehensive analysis of the overall transport system
of the entire area of 21 members countries of the Arab League.
Such analysis was aimed at planning, ranking and phasing rail projects of
regional value able to bring together the entire Arab world.
Due to its characteristics, the project clearly has a significant political,
strategic and economic effect.

(the most qualified firm in Italy for the sector,
carries out certification activities
in the railway industry both, in Italy and abroad)
will certify the standards of safety and quality
of the new Haramain High Speed line,
connecting the holy cities of Mecca
and Medina in S A U D I A R A B I A .
In fact, the two subsidiaries of Italy’s
Ferrovie dello Stato, have signed
a Safety Verification Engineer contract
for the second phase of the project.
Partner of the deal will be the Saudi-Spanish
Train Project c. LTD.
26
Italferr and Italcertifer
will attest all the safety
requirements
according to European
standards.
The contract has been approved
by the Saudi Railway Organization
and demonstrates the high quality level
of Italian design and certification
of safety standards.

Development and Modernisation of the Syrian Railway Network
Italferr has provided Technical Assistance for the development
and modernization of the Syrian railway network
aimed at integrating links connecting the Mediterranean sea
with the developing regions of the Middle East.
In particular, as regards the Damascus-Daraa railway line,
Italferr has worked on the conceptual design
for the building of a High Speed rail line (250 km/h)
of approximately 110 km intended
for mixed passenger/freight traffic.
Seven stations are planned and the Daraa station
includes a locomotive maintenance facility.
Italferr provided the detailed design
of the Sbena freight depot
and a rolling stock maintenance area.
In addition, Italferr designed the Kadem
Station, Damascus’ main passenger station,
and the sidings between Sbena Freight
Station and Kadem Passenger Station,
which extend for approximately 6 km.
Euphrates Bridge
Italferr has provided Technical Assistance
during production in the workshop, assembly
and installation of the metal girders for construction
of the bridge over the Euphrates River (S Y R I A )
on the Tabeje-Al Bookamal railway line.
The bridge’s metal structure consists
of 5 lattice-type spans with closed overhead arches
and underlying track way,
and a theoretical load-bearing capacity of 75.4 m.
The method utilized is similar to that used in 2002
for construction of the bridge over the Po River
on the Padova-Bologna railway line.
The lattice girders are of the direct trackwork
attachment type.
The line is single-track but the entire river crossing
has an abutment pier design to accommodate
a double track in the future.

Motorways of the Sea
Italferr has performed for the European Commission the transport study
called the Motorways of the Sea for the Black Sea and Caspian Sea.
The project involves the development and promotion of sea motorways
in the Caspian and Black Sea areas,
including the infrastructures connecting them
with land-based networks.
Specifically, Italferr is in charge of the study
on modernising the railway lines
dedicated to Caspian and Black Sea ports,
an infrastructure project
which is indispensable in the light
of increasing freight movement by ship.
The study involves analysis
of the existing transport infrastructures
in a vast region stretching from Ukraine
to the Caucasus and from Turkey to Central Asia.
Among the main objectives of the project
is that of identifying modernisation works
which can develop the potential
of an infrastructure network
to support intermodal transport in the area,
thus attracting international investments
aimed at infrastructure growth to improve
the flow of goods between Europe and the East.
The project takes on special importance
from the point of view of financing
eco-compatible transport systems
such as the motorways of the sea.

New Puerto Cabello-La Encrucijada Railway Line
Having developed the final civil engineering design
for the El Palito-La Encrucijada route and pre-design of the infrastructure
and railway works on the Moron-Puerto Cabello intermodal link (27 km),
Italferr is completing the final design for the stations
and intermodal terminal on the El Palito-La Encrucijada line.
The El Palito-La Encrucijada route
is part of the development plan
for a more complex multi-modal freight
and passenger transport system
to integrate the different requirements
and modes of transport by creation
of logistics centres and terminals
both rail (dry ports)
and maritime (terminal and container),
to interact with road transport.
The line will link the country’s main port
(Puerto Cabello) with the big industrial
and agro-food centres of Valencia and Maracay.

Strategic Study for the High Speed Rail Network on the East Coast of Australia
The study focuses on the introduction of a high speed rail service
linking the main cities of the East Coast of Australia.
The Newcastle to Sydney spine is a central section of this corridor,
but options for links northwards to Brisbane and southwards
to Canberra and Melbourne are also to be considered.
Another focus of the study is the identification of possible routes,
corridor preservation and station options, including city-centre,
city-periphery and airport stations,
thus providing a basis for route development,
indicative transit times and high-level construction costs.
Italferr’s role is mainly aimed at verifying the study assumptions
and solutions in respect of High Speed rail definition.
