In detail, i 190 modernization interventions are divided as follows: Plan of Assessment Galleriesfrom surveys on the state of health of tunnels to redevelopment and modernization interventions; Tunnel safety planwhich provides for the adaptation of fire-fighting systems to the legislative provisions of Legislative Decree 264/2006 and Presidential Decree 151/2001 through the provision of high-performance equipment such as lighting, ventilation and safety systems, traffic control, fire prevention, radio systems serving Fire Brigade, emergency stations, drainage systems for dangerous substances; Plan Bridges and Viaductswith the restructuring and modernization of the structures, made more performing in compliance with the new regulations of 2018 and 2020; Safety barrierswith the replacement of old devices with more performing elements. Noise barriers: the Noise Reduction Plan provides for the implementation of interventions along the entire motorway network, in order to reduce the noise pollution produced by the operation of the infrastructure; Interventions such as hydraulic adjustments (manholes, guard ditches), geotechnics (scarps, slopes, pilings), requalification of joints and support devices, wildlife networks.
The 18,500 inspection activities of the infrastructural assets, managed by the Operating/Technical/Plant Operating Units of the Section I Directorate of Genoa, provide for, in compliance with the regulations in force and with the company Operating Regulations, the periodic check of the “health state” of the Works managed by Autostrade per l’Italia. The checks, carried out by highly specialized personnel according to the frequency established by the Surveillance Manuals drawn up by ASPI’s General Management and by current legislation, consist of both visual inspections and with advanced instruments. Each defect found during periodic inspection is classified with the attribution of a specific index (class of defect) which defines the need to monitor the defect, the need to plan maintenance operations or carry out urgent maintenance operations.
The surveillance process of the works constitutes the starting point for the planning of the maintenance interventions necessary to maintain the highest safety standards of the motorway infrastructure.
For the flooring, the annual plan of interventions is drafted based on maintenance needs identified following direct inspections or consequent to the detection of parameters on the state of the pavement in relation to the specific MIT Guidelines; any reports of critical issues on the state of the pavements provided by the other structures of the Section Management and/or by the stakeholders (users, Police, etc.); assessments of the age of the various motorway sections. With reference to these modalities, the annual interventions are planned which may concern superficial or deep restoration.
