WE TURN IDEAS INTO PROJECTS

... EVERYWHERE

Turning ideas into projects and guiding them to completion has been our dedicated task for the past 26 years. Experimentation, innovation and state-of-the-art competences enable GEODATA to manage both the general and specific (and sometimes complex) aspects of the projects. To deliver services of the highest quality is one of our fundamental objectives; this helped GEODATA to become a recognised reference in the field as demonstrated by the success of our book "Mechanized Tunnelling in Urban Areas", published by Taylor & Francis (2007).

We work with passion all-over the world; we are present (with our offices) in 15 countries and have worked on projects in 45 countries.

GEODATA is an international engineering company, recognized as a leader in the design of underground works. Our consolidated capabilities and experience in geotechnical, environmental, structural and hydraulic engineering have been recently integrated with capabilities in the fields of architecture, urban transformation, road and railway design, technological plants, E&M engineering, and project management.

Verona ring road Project Financing tender (October 2008)

In 2008, GEODATA participated in the Project Financing tender for the construction of the North Ring Road section in Verona. The proposed solution was developed on the basis of environmental and transport analyses ti realize an 8km-long tunnel under-crossing the Adige River. Drawing from the experience of some of the most recent international projects (Paris A86, Kuala Lumpur Smart Tunnel), the TBM-excavated tunnel is structured on two levels, one for each direction, with the pedestrian-safety passages at every 500m; the tunnel will only be open to light vehicle traffic.

Go ahead for the final design of line 1 of Bologna metro-tramway (September 2008)

GEODATA is the leader of the joint venture developing the final design for line 1 of the Bologna metro-tramway that was approved by the Conferenza dei Servizi of the Ministry for Infrastructures. This project presented an exciting technical challenge: build a modern, technically advanced infrastructure respecting and enhancing a delicate historical urban context with the largest possible support. This was achieved by re-thinking the relationship between surface and underground. These spaces, reconsidered also through a novel technical approach, will enable creating new significant places for mobility and social life in the evolving city.
