  Some unusual aspects in the Construction Management of “La Maddalena” Exploratory Adit in Italy for the Turin-Lyon HSR project

  The new Turin-Lyon high-speed rail project is halfway along the future“Mediterranean Corridor” connecting Seville in South-Western Spain to Budapest in Hungary. The project includes a 57 km-long Alpine base tunnel, whose construction is expected to start in 2015, making use of data collected from four exploratory adits. The three exploratory adits on the French side of the Alps, Saint-Martin-La-Porte, La Praz and Modane, were all complete by 2010. Construction of the exploratory adit in Italian territory was planned to start in 2006 but strong social unrest and opposition to the high-speed rail line brought the project to a long stop. Construction was finally able to re-start only six years later, in April 2012. On site, the three traditional actors, Client, Contractor and Engineer, have to interact and be coordinated with a fourth very active party: the Police Force. .
