Technical Information
Executive design of civil works for Naples-Bari High Speed/ High Capacity railway – Doubling of Apice-Orsara Section. Functional Lot I: Apice - Hirpinia (3 Tunnels: Grottaminarda, Melito, Rocchetta).
The 1st functional lot of the Apice-Orsara section, constitutes the central segment of the Apennine crossing of the Naples-Bari route and consists of a completely new route compared to the historical lines, crossing through mountainous territory. With the first lot, 18 km of new double-track line will be built, forming a junction from the new Apice junction to Hirpinia Station, to reconnect later in the direction of Bari through the next lot. The work will be developed, over the entire route, in a scarcely settled agricultural territory featuring steep slopes, crossing wide as well as narrow valleys with steep fronts and heterogeneous geological conditions, alternating tunnels to be built by mechanized excavation and viaducts up to the new Hirpinia Station, located in the plain between Grottaminarda and Ariano Irpino.
