ISOLFIN announces the completion of the first milestone of the Brăila bridge, Romania

 Rome/ Brăila, 02 February 2022 – ISOLFIN, a leading company in the services sector for the main groups of petrochemicals, construction and EPC projects, announces that the Brăila yard, where it operates in support of Fincantieri, has completed the prefabrication of 86 blocks of the Brăila bridge, the first milestone of the construction of this strategic European infrastructural project in Romania.

The yard is located in Romania, where a joint venture is working to complete a highly complex project that will significantly improve the mobility of the area, allowing the 7,000 vehicles that cross the Danube by ferry every day to cross the river in a few minutes against the current 45.

The goal of prefabrication of the 86 blocks was achieved without LTI (lost time injury) and with the highest standards of quality, safety and respect for project deadlines.

Isolfin thanks Fincantieri Infrastructure, Astaldi, IHI, the local authorities of the city of Brăila and its suppliers for their support and partnership during the execution of the project. In particular, Isolfin thanks its team who mobilized during COVID19 and who managed to achieve the client’s objectives with resilience and professionalism despite the obstacles of the health emergency.

Brăila Bridge is one of the longest suspension bridges in Europe with 1,975 meters in length, with a main span of 1,120 meters. The project also includes the construction of three viaducts to access the bridge, between 90 and 220 meters long as well as a new 21 km long connecting road network.

ISOLFIN will continue to support the project for the assembly phase with more than 40 people involved throughout 2022.

Other work concerning the anticorrosive preparation for the foundation intended for the Saint-Nazaire wind farm will be composed of 80 turbines located 12 km from the coast. These will be fully operational by 2022, therefore, making it the largest offshore wind farm in the world.

Although they already operate in the Saint-Nazaire shipyard, this is a new project for ISOLFIN in the renewable energy sector.

MOSE (Experimental Electromechanical Module) is a project intended to protect the city of Venice from flooding.

It is an integrated system consisting of rows of mobile gates installed at the entrance of the Venetian lagoon that are able to isolate the Venetian Lagoon temporarily from the Adriatic sea during high tides.

MOSE is flexible and can be operated in different ways according to the characteristics and height of the tide.  On 3 October 2020, the MOSE was activated for the first time in the occurrence of a high tide event, preventing some of the low-lying parts of the city (in particular piazza San Marco) from being flooded.

ISOLFIN delivered the insulation and anti-corrosive protection of this key infrastructure to protect the city of Venice, one of the marvel of the world

The Venice biorefinery is the first case in the world of conversion from a traditional refinery.

Since 2014, approximately 230,000 tons of vegetable oils have been processed and converted here every year. From 2024, thanks to a further upgrade, the processing capacity is expected to be augmented, with an increasing share of raw materials from food production waste, such as oils, animal fats and other advanced by-products.

To win the challenge of the energy transition it is crucial to make the best of the existing industrial apparatus. This is why we insist on remediation, recycling and conversion.

This refinery was opened almost 50 years ago and the insulation and anticorrosive protection treatment was delivered by Isolfin which therefore followed the entire life cycle and renewed the multi-specialist maintenance contract with Eni (scaffolding, insulation, painting, passive fire protection, reclamation and much more) up to 2023.
