Ayesa, a global provider of technological and engineering services, has announced the signing of its first engineering contract in Italy. Teaming up with the esteemed Italian engineering firm Enser, Ayesa will spearhead the design and provide technical and economic feasibility services for an iconic bridge project connecting the cities of Colorno and Casalmaggiore in the Parma region. This venture aims to replace an aging bridge from 1958.
The proposal presented by Ayesa and Enser received the highest score from Provincia de Parma, surpassing eighteen submissions from local and international engineering consortiums.
Situated in northern Italy, the Po River flows from the Alps to the Adriatic Sea, forming a broad delta south of Venice. The Casalmaggiore Bridge, commissioned in 1958, once held the record as Italy's longest bridge at 1,206 meters, renowned for employing cutting-edge construction techniques of its time.
Inspections conducted in 2017 revealed widespread and systematic deterioration in the deck beams and cracks on the faces of the Gerber saddles.
The upcoming bridge will be constructed parallel to the existing structure in two phases to minimise traffic disruptions during the old bridge's demolition.
Marisa Chabaneix, Chief Markets Officer for Engineering at Ayesa, emphasized the project's significance, stating, "It is a notable engineering endeavor that demands technical excellence. This bridge will enhance connectivity between Lombardy and Emilia-Romagna, contributing to the improved quality of life for the residents of this region."
