Snam, the leading Italian operator in natural gas transport, has been developing the Linea Adriatica project. The infrastructure will support the energy security and energy transition of Italy and Europe. MAX STREICHER S.p.A. has recently been awarded a contract to build a compression plant in Sulmona, Abruzzo, and another contract to construct a section of the DN1200 (48’’), 75 bar, onshore pipeline between Cesena and Alfonsine, in the Emilia Romagna region.

For the construction of the gas compression plant, which will have an overall power of 33 MW and will include three turbo-compressors (11 MW each), MAX STREICHER will perform all civil, E&I and mechanical works. More than 96,000 inches of welding seams are planned. Due to the high seismic activity in the area, special design techniques will be applied to the buildings to ensure their structural integrity and safety, making seismic risk management one of the key challenges to be addressed during construction.

As for the pipeline in Emilia Romagna, the total length of the section of the DN 48” Cesena – Alfonsine is about 44 km and will include seven valve stations, 36 open-cut crossings, 45 thrust borings, two HDD and three microtunnels. The construction works started in June 2024 and both projects are scheduled to be completed by the end of 2026.
