Webuild: live view on our costruction sites with 36 webcams to follow our ongoing projects from the North to the South of Italy

Consolidated "Transparent Construction Sites" initiative to engage citizens even more in the construction phases of our future works

Next webcams to be activated in the Naples-Bari and Genoa New Breakwater construction sites

Milan, February 14, 2024 - Webuild virtually opens its Italian construction sites' doors to citizens: from works on Milan's M4 line, to the ones in Rome's Line C, to Sicily's high-capacity railway lines. It therefore strengthens its "Cantieri Trasparenti" (Transparent Construction sites) initiative, which has been revolutionizing, for a couple of years already, the idea of transparency and participation linked to building infrastructures. The purposely installed 36 webcams in the construction sites can be accessed on the "Cantieri Trasparenti" website ("Transparent Construction Sites", www.cantieritrasparenti.it/en/). From here, citizens will be able to follow the progress of an ever-growing number of strategic projects in real time.

The most recent construction site opened is the one relating to the Taormina-Giampilieri section of the Messina-Catania high-capacity line. In the province of Messina, in the Sciglio construction site, two webcams were in fact installed. And now they are allowing to follow the assembly activities of "Igea", the TBM that will excavate the future Sciglio tunnel. The TBM has a cutting head of 9.16 metres in diameter, and an overall length of 118 metres. It arrived in Italy in different modules in November.

The next to-be-installed webcams will be the ones pertaining to the New Genoa Breakwater and the Naples-Cancello and Apice-Hirpinia sections of the Naples-Bari high speed line.

The Group, with this initiative that allowed the number of webcams more than double since the project was first launched, puts the projects, work safety, innovation and sustainability at the centre of Italy's recovery, with an active territorial communication project: "Cantieri Trasparenti" is an innovative way of using and living our construction sites during the construction phase of works, while also always respecting workers' privacy. This approach aims at engaging curious people and to-be-engineers, allowing them to virtually explore our sites, which are areas normally concealed to the public view, also for safety reasons.

The "Cantieri Trasparenti" project is rooted in previous initiatives managed by Webuild like the opening of the Genoa San Giorgio Bridge construction sites, inaugurated in 2020. In fact, during the bridge's reconstruction, six webcams were active 24/7, allowing thousands of people to follow how works were progressing. The virtual window open on our construction sites is concomitant to the various open days organized through engaging experiences for experts and families, like already experienced, more than once, for example, for Rome's Line C and Milan's M4, in Italy, and for Line 16 of the Grand Paris Express metro, abroad.

In Italy, Webuild is, as of today, engaged in 31 large infrastructure projects, with 16,500 people at work (direct and indirect personnel), collaborating with a supply chain of 10,500 companies. A construction effort that contributes to supporting Italy's economic growth, and that, by also being transparent, also becomes a collective heritage, transforming works into tangible engineering, technical and sustainable examples.
