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).

The actual contract of the project commissioned by Viacqua S.p.A., the water service managing company of the province of Vicenza, is expected to be signed in the forthcoming days. The work will serve approximately 300 thousand citizens of Vicenza and nearby towns and is therefore greatly significant for the territory. This also confirms the Group’s strategic role in providing innovative solutions with a strong outlook on environmental sustainability when meeting Italy’s water challenges.

The project foresees the executive design, the ordnances clearance operations, and reorganizing and rationalizing the sewage and wastewater system relating to the waters in the Vicenza area. 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.
