Port of Trieste is the first Italian port for tonnage and railway movement
The Port of Trieste is the first Italian port for tonnage and railway movement - over 10,000 trains in 2019.
The first in the Mediterranean for oil traffic; its geographical location guarantees ideal access to European markets for traffic from Turkey and Asia.
The work was included in the list of strategic infrastructures nationally.
Â
What were the challenges and what made the project successful?
- Creating a structure with a high degree of difficulty due to the density of the reinforcement and prestressing cables.
- Ensuring optimal control of the quantities of materials used
- To guarantee, through Trimble Connect, an optimal sharing of the model and the information it contained with the site personnel
- Respect for the content of the project
- Verification of the quantities of materials used
- Real time availability of project information
- Reduction of time for the order of the reinforcement iron

Project in numbers
The infrastructure has a surface of about 12ha, 8 ha consisting of hanging decks on poles and 4 ha coming from the reclamation of the surrounding area, which was in a serious state of neglect; the quay has a length of 450m, a draft of 14m and is connected to the railway network and the motorway network. Under the deck, a 500,000 cubic meter container was built for the delivery of sludge dredging.
Platforms suspended on poles characterized by:
1 – about 800 sea bored piles 2 – about 100 piles drilled on the ground 3 – post-tensioned reinforced concrete deck with a seismic protection system based on friction insulators.
- Total cost of the project – 128.647.994 euros
- Concrete slab – 31.100m3
- Concrete beams bottom – 3.915m3
- Overall slab reinforcement + beams – 5.800 tons
- Strands – 568 tons (481km)
