— Project Description:

Line 1 runs entirely underground with a 15.2km-long, single-tube, twin-track running tunnel (diameter of 6.8m). The first section, in operation since February 2006, links Collegno to Porta Nuova, with a total length of 9.6km, and it was excavated using 3 EBP-TBMs. Fifteen underground stations were realized using cut- and-cover method. Cross passages and ventilation shafts were excavated through conventional methods. The second section, in operation since February 2011, develops southward under Via Nizza, from Porta Nuova railway station to Lingotto, with a total length of 3.7km and 6 underground stations. In 2008 the final design for the extension of the line to Piazza Bengasi and Moncalieri was approved for 1.9km of additional running tunnels and 2 more stations. A fully automatic depot and control center is provided in Collegno. The entire line was located in water bearing alluvial deposits, including sandy gravel to silty sands, with extensive use of ground treatment for both increasing ground strength and reducing permeability.
