The Authority of Harbour System of the Sea of Sardinia (ADSP) has charged the engineering firm VDP of Rome to execute the activities of environmental monitoring in the ante phases, course and post operam in the within of the intense activities of construction of the new terminal RO-RO of the Port of Cagliari. VDP, in JV with ALS Italia, is already carrying out field activities that concern the monitoring of the ante-operam phase for the measurement, among other things, of parameters related to noise, air quality, surface water and marine ecosystem. The duration of the construction site, and its monitoring, is expected to be 5 years. As pointed out by the sole administrator of VDP in Rome, Engineer Francesco Ventura, the objective is to verify the actual impact of a work under construction and to ensure the correct management of any problems related to the environment that may occur during the various phases of construction.

The traditional annual appointment with the “OICE-cer Report”, which photographs and comments
the performance of the sector of the engineering and architecture companies associated with OICE, is placed in a context that is characterized by the particularly positive moment of the construction sector. In fact, there is a strong growth, which requires more and more organized and multidisciplinary structures able both to carry out the traditional activities of engineering and architecture, and to support clients in the management of activities and in the processes of innovation and digitalization.

Lo scorso 11 luglio si è svolto il Convegno OICE “Dal PNRR al Green Deal, passando per il Ponte” al seminario sono intervenuti i rappresentanti delle principali società di ingegneria e Stazioni Appaltanti italiane, all’auditorium del Maxxi a Roma.

Noise mitigation, although a topic that has been under discussion for many years now, continues to be a topical topic of great interest. To date, we have to face new needs that infrastructure managers and all stakeholders must be able to move in a changing context and take advantage of new methods to consider in a broad perspective the effectiveness and sustainability of the new noise attenuation.

Francesco Ventura, CEO of VDP and OICE Director with responsibility for the Environment, and Arch. Simona Nebbioso, Proposal Manager of VDP , gave a talk, last 15 May, at the virtual seminar on “Green and Smart Cities, Re-generation, Design, and New Technologies for a Sustainable Future” developing a report on “Smart Cities and Sustainable Mobility, innovation for Economic Growth and Quality of Life in Italy, the offer of the Italian design chain for the new capital of Indonesia, Nusantara”.

The event organized by ICE Jakarta (Indonesia) with the support of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation was an opportunity to illustrate the Italian vision on the creation of the smart city. The initiative, sponsored by the same OICE, will sponsor the candidacy of Rome Expo 2030.

In the near future we will be happy to support Ukraine in its reconstruction together with other Italian engineering companies.

Our CEO, Francesco Ventura, participated last April 1st in Naples, as OICE Councillor with responsibility for the Environment, at the Energymed Conference ” Reclamation, waste management and regeneration in the era of ecological transition and PNRR”.
