The renewal and enhancement program of the High Speed Train Maintenance Plant (IMC) of Naples Gianturco, one of the main railway hubs in Southern Italy, continues. This morning, in the presence of the mayor of Naples, Gaetano Manfredi, and the director of Business High Speed of Trenitalia, Pietro Diamantini, two new areas of the plant were inaugurated: one dedicated to the cyclical maintenance of Frecciarossa trains and a new building for offices and staff training.
The project, funded with over 100 million euros, aims to improve maintenance activities while preserving the historical characteristics of the complex. In the first phase, the 2nd level maintenance workshop, where cyclical checks and revisions of the High Speed fleet are carried out, was renovated and strengthened. Among the main interventions, the restoration of the turntable for the movement of the carriages.
Subsequently, an abandoned building was demolished and rebuilt as a modern building of almost 3.000 square meters, distributed on three levels. The new structure houses offices, training rooms and spaces dedicated to approximately 130 Trenitalia employees. The IMC of Naples Gianturco, which extends over 440 thousand square meters (of which 76 thousand are covered), represents an example of synergy between engineering tradition and technological innovation. Thanks to advanced diagnostic, sensor and predictive maintenance systems, the plant guarantees maximum efficiency in train management.
A strong signal also on the sustainability front: the warehouses are equipped with 1.870 photovoltaic panels, which provide 90% of the daily energy needs of the plant, active 24 hours a day, 24 days a year. Every day maintenance is carried out on approximately 365 trains, thanks to the work of an induced force that involves approximately 35 people.
Manfredi: “This inauguration is a testimony to the strategic importance of Southern Italy in the panorama of sustainable mobility and railway innovation”. Diamonds: “Napoli Gianturco is a reality of excellence, a point of reference for our High Speed system”.
