Transport infrastructures (roads, motorways, railways, undergrounds, ports and airports) represent Astaldi Group’s most important business area. Its excellent level of technology and major organisational capacity allow Astaldi to feature among the top 20 operators worldwide in this sector (12th for turnover generated in the motorways sector and 6th for turnover generated in the railways and undergrounds sector according to the annual tables compiled by ENR - Engineering News Record).
Works such as the Anatolian motorway in Turkey, built in a highly seismic area, or the Copenhagen underground, the first fully automated line in the world, represent two examples of the reputation acquired by the Group over the years.
This sector accounted for over 65% of the consolidated orders backlog at 31 December 2007 for a total EUR 5.4 billion.
