Revetec luminous flux regulators for motorways
Two strategic road axes: the Mestre by-pass and the Syracuse-Catania.
The Italian road and motorway networks must increasingly support increasing traffic conditions, queues and construction sites, due to the high demand for mobility, especially at peak times. As a result, transport infrastructures are significantly stressed, and the need arises to create alternatives to existing stretches.
From this perspective, two strategic nodes of the Italian motorway system arise: the Mestre bypass and the Syracuse - Catania section of the Sicilian A18 motorway.
The Mestre Bypass, which involves 12 municipalities with a total length of 32.3 km, acts as a motorway link between the A4 (Padua-Venice), the A27 (Venice-Pian di Vedova) and, again, the A4 (Venice-Trieste) and by-pass of the metropolitan area by strengthening the infrastructural capacity of the hinterland of Venice, in order to play a growing role in relations with Eastern Europe. A significant part of the work, due to the high urbanization of the area, takes place in the tunnel.
The Syracuse-Catania section is part of the Sicilian A18 motorway, partly open and partly still under construction, which will connect Messina to Rosolini.
The highway aims to allow a more orderly flow towards the inhabited centers it passes through and to accelerate and facilitate the tourist development of the southern area of the province of Syracuse and Ragusa. Significant is the presence of tunnels in a region, such as Sicily, with a predominantly hilly or mountainous profile.
For the Mestre bypass, Revetec provided Gemmo Spa, which took care of all the electrical systems: n. 28 regulators, n. 14 Lv probes serving 7 tunnels.
For the Syracuse-Catania Revetec provided Pizzarotti Spa of Parma: n. 26 regulators, n. 16 Lv probes, serving 8 tunnels.
