Exchanges up for Webuild (+ 1.8% to 2.142 euros) in Piazza Affari after the news that the group (including the Swiss subsidiary CSC Costruzioni) has been awarded the new construction lot “H41 Gola del Sill-Pfons” of the Galleria di Brenner base, with a total value of 651 million euros. The Group participates in the project with an overall 50% stake in the joint venture that will carry out the works, together with the Swiss company Implenia (50%). The client of the works is BBT SE, a European joint-stock company aimed at the construction of a railway tunnel between Italy and Austria, or the Brenner Base Tunnel, which will thus be connected across the Alps.
With this contract, with which 400 direct workers will be employed, Webuild strengthens its presence in the construction of the Brenner Base Tunnel which, with its total length of 55km, will be the longest railway tunnel in the world and one of the most complex for orographic conditions.
