Milan Out Bypass to Ease Congestion
One of the most important ongoing infrastructure projects in Italy today is the TEEM
construction site, Milan Outer Bypass, whose layout passes east of the city and is destined
to ease congestion on the current ring road.
The construction site, where concrete casting is involved, is managed by Icea on behalf
of the main contractor, Arco TEEM Consortium, which includes Impresa Pizzarotti.
Icea has recently completed working on casting the base of a big rainwater storage
tank. The casting involved 700 m³, a Cifa K41L XRZ truck mounted pump fed by a fleet
of Cifa mixers that ensured a continuous flow of concrete from the company production
plant to the casting site.
The pump was chosen
by Icea for its versatility and
hourly productivity (140
m³/hour), as well as the
horizontal envelop (that
reaches over 35 meters)
of the five sections boom,
which could rach across
the wide foundation.
Icea owner, Angelo Di Fede
said:
“We have been
working with
Cifa machines for
many years and
we have never
had any problem
with machines
we have in the
fleet; ordinary
maintenance
interventions and
small problems
on the jobsite
have always
been solved by
an efficient and
prompt assistance
service by Effretti
professionals.”
