Milan, July 29, 2024 – New US project for Lane, the Webuild Group subsidiary in the US, was awarded a contract of approximately USD 208 million (€191 million, approx.), to renovate the NAS Naval Air Station Oceana, the air base of the US Naval force in Virginia. The contract consolidates the Group's presence in the United States and confirms Webuild's positioning as reliable and solid partner for clients on a global scale in building innovative, sustainable infrastructure.

The contract, which has been entirely assigned to Lane, foresees works, which are subdivided into various phases, to fix taxiways and related works, activities to start within 3 months and to finish by January 2028. The Naval Facilities Engineering Systems Command Mid-Atlantic (NAVFAC MIDLANT) is the Commissioner. Lane, for this base, located in Virginia Beach, has already built works to fix the runway 14L-32R. 

The Group grows in Virginia after the recent awarding of works to build a section of the I-64 HREL highway project worth USD 110 million, which wishes to improve traffic flows along one of the main interstate highways of the US state. Lane, also in Virginia, is building the 495 Express Lanes Northern Extension (NEXT) highway project, won with a value of USD 441 million. 

The Webuild Group boasts a track record including building over 80 airport infrastructure worldwide. In Florida, in the US, Lane is working to modernize the Tyndall Air Force Base (AFB) of Panama City, which was strongly damaged by Hurricane Michael in 2018, with the aim of making it more functional while also increasing its resilience should future extraordinary climate events take place. Among the main projects built in the sector in the last 20 years, there is also the modernizing of the Memphis International Airport in the US, the construction of the John Paul II International Airport in Kraków-Balice, Poland's second largest after Warsaw's, and the International Airport of St. Petersburg-Pulkovo, among the most important of the Baltic Region.
