Chiasso Railway Station: Design and Work Supervision for Electric Traction, Environmental Feasibility Study In light of the upcoming opening of the new (Gothard and Ceneri) Trans-Alpine crossings, the FFS (Swiss Federal Railways) have launched a series of upgrading works to existing plants, which include: • replacement of the current Central Electronic Equipment (ACE) in Chiasso, involving modification of the PRG and the electricity supply systems; • increase of the capacity for sheltering rolling stock and work on platform systems at the Chiasso passenger station. As part of this project, Italferr has been appointed to develop: • final design of the 3 kV electric traction systems at Chiasso station, including an analysis of the step-up units used to take the voltage to 15 kV, a HV cabin that protects the contact line, and an electromagnetic compatibility study; • design of the SCMT (Train Operation Control System) for Chiasso junction and Chiasso passenger station;
• providing support especially for defining approval standards and procedures, according to Italian standards (for the Italian section); • drawing up an environmental feasibility study (general setting for the work and the context of the territory affected; analysis of planning tools, all constraints and problems, such as: archaeological risk, the presence of pollution or potentially polluted sites, noise/vibrations and electromagnetic fields), as well as general support activities.

Preliminary and Detailed Design of Hrvatski Leskovac-Karlovac Railway Line Italferr was appointed by Croatian Railways (HŽ Infrastruktura) as designer of the interventions aimed at upgrading the Hrvatski LeskovacKarlovac railway section. The financing was guaranteed by IPA Fund and the main output is the preparation of the tender dossier for works and the application for EU financing. The project includes the doubling of the line and the modernization of the existing track along 30 km and the creation of a new double track railway line along 25 km, including the renewal of two stations and the construction of two new ones. The section is part of Corridor Vb, connecting port of Rijeka with Zagreb and Budapest.
