Milan, May 10, 2024 – It is the largest Italian project of the last decade in the water treatment sector, and it will be built by a consortium led by Fisia Italimpianti (Webuild Group).

It will be built by Fisia Italimpianti, which will lead with a 69.8% share the consortium with ICM, Integra and STA.

The consortium is also responsible for the management and ordinary and extraordinary maintenance activities relating to the plant for the first 4 years starting from when the plant is first commissioned. The project will be completed in 5 years, creating approximately 300 new jobs (directly and indirectly). It therefore represents a growth opportunity that brings greater value to the local supply chain and, in general, to the territory too.
