Webuild's new Genoa breakwater reaches 1,5 km in length.
Construction of Genoa's new breakwater, the project being carried out by the PerGenova Breakwater Consortium led by Webuild on behalf of the Western Ligurian Sea Port Authority, continues apace. This is according to a press release. With the installation of a new mega-caisson, the breakwater reaches a total length of approximately 1,5 kilometers, consolidating the progress of one of the most complex maritime engineering projects currently underway in Europe. This achievement confirms the acceleration of offshore activities and the project's high level of execution capacity. It is intended to transform the Port of Genoa into one of the most modern and competitive maritime hubs in the Mediterranean, strengthening the city and Italy's role in international logistics routes.
In parallel with the caisson installation, seabed consolidation continues, an essential activity to ensure the stability of the infrastructure. Construction of the superstructure, the most visible part of the dam, designed to reduce the impact of waves, is also progressing. Cossi Costruzioni, a Group company specializing in the construction of complex projects, is also involved in the project. Its contribution confirms the strength of Webuild's integrated industrial model, which leverages the expertise, production capacity, operational synergies, and people of its subsidiaries to address highly complex engineering challenges and accelerate the construction of strategic projects for the country.
The project is taking shape at seabeds reaching depths of up to 50 meters, making each installation phase particularly complex and requiring the coordinated use of specialized naval vessels, advanced technologies, and highly qualified personnel engaged in monitoring, control, and assistance at sea, on land, and underwater. The New Breakwater represents a strategic intervention for the enhancement of the Port of Genoa and its connections with national and European markets. The project contributes to enhancing logistics flows towards Northern Italy and the main European corridors, and once completed, the port will be able to accommodate next-generation ships, benefiting the capacity and competitiveness of the entire port system.
