TROLLEYBUS NETWORK

FS Engineering, as Lead Company of the consortium comprising Technital, ETS and ABDR, was engaged in the detailed design services, including safety coordination during the design phase, for the “Axes of Strength” Public Transport System in the Municipality of Genoa.

The project involves the implementation of a trolleybus network along the city's main urban corridors and includes:

• Upgrading road infrastructure and bus stops, resolving interferences, redeveloping platforms, updating signage, systems and public lighting, and removing architectural barriers;
• Construction of a new logistics hub in Nervi and refurbishment of existing depots, together with new public parking facilities in Staglieno, Gavette and Sampierdarena;
• Development of 12 terminal areas, partly newly built and partly subject to major renovation works;
• Construction of 17 new electrical substations.

Integrated with the existing public transport network, the trolleybus system extends over more than 40 km, approximately 70% of which on dedicated lanes. The works were divided into several functional lots and tendered by the Municipality of Genoa during the 2023–2024 period.

SKYMETRO

FS Engineering, in a consortium led by Systra Sotecni, together with SWS, Architecna, Systra (France) and Land, is involved in the integration of the Technical-Economic Feasibility Design (PFTE) and in the development of the Detailed Design for the project known as Skymetro.

The project concerns the extension of Genoa's existing metro line along the Bisagno Valley, from Brignole Station to the Molassana area.

The proposed solution consists of an elevated viaduct system, with an average height of approximately 9 metres and a total length of around 7 km, including seven new stations and the connection works with the existing metro line at Brignole Station.

To reduce the impact on a densely populated urban environment and limit the visual impact of the infrastructure, a single-track configuration has been adopted, with double-track sections only in the vicinity of stations.

The project includes the following main activities:

• Integration of the PFTE based on the Preliminary Study provided in the tender documents, for submission during the Conference of Services and review by the Italian Superior Council of Public Works;
• Detailed Design and safety coordination during the design phase;
• Surveys and investigations supporting the design activities;
• Assistance to the Contracting Authority throughout the authorization process.

METRO LINE

FS Engineering is involved in the design of the extension of Genoa Metro Line 1, covering approximately 1 km from the current Brin terminal station, located in the north-western part of the city, to the new Canepari Station, along the north-south axis of the Polcevera Valley.

The project is aimed at enhancing accessibility and sustainable mobility in a strategic area of Genoa's urban fabric, improving the integration of the metro system with the surrounding territory and other transport modes.

MONORAIL 

FS Engineering developed the feasibility design for the new Genoa Monorail, conceived to improve accessibility and connectivity between the future Erzelli railway station and the Erzelli Science and Technology Park, one of the city's major hubs for urban development and innovation.

The system, with a total length of 2.3 km, includes a lower station directly connected to the railway station—designed to allow a possible future extension towards Cristoforo Colombo Airport—and two stations located at the top of the Erzelli hill.

The project provides a sustainable and integrated mobility solution capable of meeting the needs of a complex and constantly evolving urban environment.
