Strait of Messina: approval of the Strategic Plan of the Port System The document is the key to developing the Strait's port-related system and the six ports involved The Italian Ministry of Infrastructure and Transport has approved the Strategic System Planning Document (DPSS) of the ports managed by the Strait Port System Authority. This document was developed by Proger, which heads the grouping also made up of Dinamica and Systematica.  The content of the DPSS defines the objectives and coordinated development strategies of up to 6 ports under the Strait Port System Authority - Messina, Milazzo, Tremestieri, Villa San Giovanni, Reggio Calabria and Saline - and concerns both the port, retroport and port-city interaction areas, as well as the last mile road and rail infrastructure connections outside the port area. “This is an important result for the working group, which comes at the end of an articulated process involving the numerous municipalities concerned, the Regions of Sicily and Calabria and, finally, the Ministry”, commented President Umberto Sgambati, “on the basis of our work, the System Authority can now launch the procedures for drafting the individual Port Master Plans, proposing synergic solutions to the existing criticalities, supporting the development of port activities and ensuring increasingly modern and high quality services for passengers and operators”.

Proger presents a new methodological approach to water sustainability at Ecomondo Guidelines and pilot project implemented by the Assoreca working group coordinated by Proger In the context of Ecomondo 2023, PROGER presented the guidelines for a new methodological approach to water sustainability and the related pilot project, developed by the ASSORECA Association working group coordinated by Proger and made up of Aecom, Anthemis, ERM, GM Ambiente, Gruppo Stante, Italferr, Sinergeo, Sodai and WSP. As part of the programme of the international reference event in the green and circular economy sector, Marco Sandrucci, head of Proger\'s Environment Operating Unit and coordinator of Assoreca\'s \'Water Sustainability\' working group, explained the need for a change in approach, both technical and cultural, in the way water resources are used at territorial level. This is an operational and managerial response to the ongoing climate change, the effects of which our country is increasingly experiencing, and is part of an infrastructural and legislative framework in need of profound renewal, as also highlighted in the \"Water Economy in Italy\" report published by Proger at the beginning of 2023. “Today, the total amount of water present in a given territory is divided competitively between the different categories of use: civil and drinking, agricultural and livestock, industrial and hydroelectric,\" explains Sandrucci, \"When the available flow rates become insufficient, this leads to the reduction, and sometimes cancellation, of the supply to one or more of these categories”. Pending complex, costly and time-consuming processes to increase supplies and reduce losses, Proger\'s proposal is for a circular and efficient water management, pursuing a multiple and synergic utilisation that maximises the \'cascading\' use of water, replacing the current competitive use between different types of use and utilisation. “To highlight the real feasibility of the proposal, the working group developed the pilot project of a territorial compartment with high water resilience and sustainability,\" Sandrucci continues, \"To this end, an area was selected that can guarantee the coexistence of all types of water needs, considered exemplary as a case study, to demonstrate a new virtuous circular model, replicable in different socio-economic and territorial contexts, which tends to be all the more important as water scarcity phenomena become more accentuated in the near future”.

Proger’s Sustainability is A-Class An ESGe rating which places the company among the top performers in its sector Combining \"development and sustainability\" in a unique value, with the aim of improving people\'s quality of life. This is the mission with which Proger is pursuing its corporate sustainability path from 2021 onwards, and which is already yielding excellent results: the latest news is that it has been awarded an \"A\" ESGe rating by the Cerved rating agency. An important result that places Proger among the top performers in its reference sector. Thanks to the fulfilment of its commitments and its consolidated ability to manage the risks and opportunities arising from the ESG factors relevant to its business, Proger has managed, in just a few months, to improve on the already excellent \'High End Performance\' achieved in its first financial statements. \"We imagine and shape the future, a sustainable future. This is our mission,\" says CEO Marco Lombardi, \"it is not only what we do that matters, but also how we do it and the principles that inspire us: this is how we create shared value\". The main factors that led to the rating increase can be summarised as the excellent results achieved in 2022, such as the increase of 82 resources compared to the previous year, bringing the total to 524, and the 23% increase in the presence of women, in many cases in managerial positions, in a sector traditionally characterised by a strong male presence. In terms of environmental responsibility, Proger works both on the \"direct\" front of reducing energy and water consumption in its offices, and on the \"indirect\" front of developing low impact projects in all sectors: from major infrastructures to sustainable construction, from the remediation of contaminated sites to major initiatives in support of energy transition. On a social level, Proger has strengthened its ethical and sustainable development commitments alongside communities and local authorities, for the growth and enhancement of resources and the territory. The planning of activities and the integration of sustainability into the strategic and operational management of the company play an important role in the evaluation of ESG performance: Indeed, Proger has been recognised for the strong commitment of its management, which, even in the absence of regulatory obligations, decided to appoint an ESG Committee and an ESG manager, and to draw up a sustainability plan that identified 28 objectives to be reached by 2025 in order to achieve many of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) defined by the United Nations. In this context, the new initiatives to enhance human capital and promote a culture of equal opportunities, inclusion, gender equality and respect for human rights in the workplace stand out, for which Proger has already accomplished the first of the targets set by obtaining SA8000 certification. Mr Lombardi concludes: \"The success of Proger\'s Sustainability Report goes hand in hand with the excellent results highlighted in the last Annual Report and in the Half-Yearly Report for 2023, forming a complete picture of a healthy company oriented towards continuous and responsible growth\"

For Proger, a production value of over 180 million in 2023, with a portfolio of around half a billion euros over the next three years. Presentation of the company's half-year report, forecasts to 31.12.2023 and business plan 2023-2026 At an event reserved for stakeholders, Proger\'s CFO, Roberto Lombardi, presented the company\'s results and forecasts for 2023, as well as its business plan for the next three years. For Proger, 2023 will mark the best result in the company\'s history, with a projected production value at 31 December of EUR 186 million, +40% compared to 2022, and an EBITDA of EUR 24 million. The positive results of 2023 can be attributed to the performance of the main business lines of the engineering and management company, which boasts clients such as WeBuild in the infrastructure design sector, Autostrade per l\'Italia for safety inspections and maintenance engineering, Eni and Total in the oil and gas sector, and Enel and Terna in the green energy sector. \"In 2023, we have made an important leap forward in terms of production, compared to the average of 100 million developed in recent years,\" comments Lombardi. \"Our growth model is based on the competence of our resources and the intuitions of our management, which are well supported by the financial system; in fact, to pursue growth of this kind requires strong support both from the banking system and from Proger\'s shareholders themselves, who have always reinvested profits in the company because they believe in the persistent development project that Proger has undertaken. With an NFP/PN ratio of 36%, a high level of financial availability and substantial medium-term credit lines provided by the financial system, Proger can explore new markets and generate new business on a solid and secure footing\". This solidity is confirmed by some of the main indicators highlighted during the presentation: the EBITDA margin (EBITDA/VdP) of 13% shows a good level of remuneration for the activity carried out, particularly in view of the comparative benchmark of around 10%, and the excellent ratio of net financial position (NFP) to EBITDA, at 1.26 (with an average of 3.5 in the sector), summarises the company\'s ability to repay bank debt in the short term. \"In addition to the financial data, however, we must not forget that it is essential for us to invest in human capital and training, as this creates value and guarantees the continuity of the growth trend\". During the presentation, the CFO went on to extend the time horizon of the forecast, illustrating Proger\'s business plan up to 2026, which, despite an extremely conservative approach, confirms the current year\'s production volumes. \"We have a portfolio of around half a billion euros,\" continued the CFO, \"but these are values that refer to June 2023 and I can already say that they are on the rise.\" \"I cannot deny that our CFO is always very cautious in his forecasts,\" interjects CEO Marco Lombardi, \"but we are confident that we will not only be able to confirm this year\'s VdP, as indicated in the business plan, but that we will be able to go well beyond the €200 million threshold over the next three years. This is because the figures presented do not take into account very concrete scenarios and initiatives in the pipeline that are not yet sufficiently mature to be included in our backlog. One of them, for example, sees us as the technical coordinator of one of the most important infrastructure projects in the world\". “I remember that in 2014, during a company convention, we announced the goal of becoming number 1 in Italy and reaching 200 M€ of turnover by 2025,\" concludes President Umberto Sgambati. \"To many it seemed far too ambitious, but today we can say that we are succeeding even ahead of schedule.”

Proger at OMC Med Energy 2023 Energy and innovation for a "just transition" is the driving idea behind OMC Med Energy Proger will be attending the 2023 edition of OMC Med Energy in Ravenna, from 24 to 26 October, in its usual role as \"Associated Company\" of the biennial event that brings together the main players in the energy industry. This year, Proger, in collaboration with the University of L\'Aquila, will present a study entitled \"The circular economy approach in oil refining: recycling of spent fcc and hds catalysts\" and will be one of the organisers of the Hackathon, a competition on energy transition issues for university students in the Innovation Room. Representatives from the various technical and commercial areas of Proger\'s Oil & Gas and Green Energy business lines will be present at stand no. 307 in Hall 7 to illustrate the numerous projects that have been realised thanks to the multidisciplinary skills of the company\'s professionals, who work in synergy around the shared goal of environmental sustainability. \"We have been a key player in the energy sector since the 1990s\", explains Carmine Matricciani, Director of the Oil & Gas BU, \"and since then we have been constantly developing and expanding our skills, starting from fossil fuels and moving on to renewables, and today we are a unique interlocutor able to offer complete solutions based on an efficient and sustainable energy mix\". The integrated approach to the energy sector, developed over the years, has resulted in a portfolio of projects ranging from hydrocarbon extraction and transformation plants for major oil companies such as ENI and Total, to photovoltaic and wind power plants developed for international players such as Enel Green Power, EDP Renewables and Vestas. In between, a series of interventions to optimise energy production plants from traditional and renewable sources, with solutions based on hydrogen, bioethanol and electrical and thermal energy storage systems. \"At Proger, we believe in an ecological transition that necessarily involves a process of optimising current technologies, and this type of projects require a wide range of expertise, where collaboration between our BUs makes the difference\", says Rocco Marsico, Director of the Green Energy BU, \"examples include biomass and biogas production plants, which require the solid process knowledge typical of oil engineering, thermal energy storage systems, TESS, to support thermoelectric power plants, and electrical energy storage systems, BESS, which are essential to stabilise and optimise the production of renewable plants\". The stand that will welcome Proger\'s guests is inspired by the communication campaign \"Everything you can imagine is real\", combining technological and classic elements. \"The 5 columns in the centre of our space represent the pillars of the company\'s logo and core values,\" explains Luigi Crespi, Director of Proger Smart Communication, the Proger Group\'s communications agency. \"They are the fixed points around which revolve the statements, ideas and images of the company\'s people and projects, which will quickly flow along the LED wall that surrounds the entire structure, and which will certainly attract the attention of all visitors to OMC 2023\".

Catania railway junction Award of contract for the undergrounding of the railway line near the Catania Fontanarossa airport Proger is the leader of the JV of engineering companies, composed of Progin and S.T.E, indicated by the JV of construction companies, led by Eteria, with Euro Ferroviaria and Salcef, to which RFI has awarded the integrated contract for the \"executive design and execution of works for the construction of the Messina - Catania - Palermo railway line, Catania junction\": underground railway project to allow the extension of the Fontanarossa airport runway and adaptation to the Technical Specifications for Interoperability of the section concerned, as well as technologies and equipment for the third track at Fontanarossa station\". The project, worth over €370 million, consists of the undergrounding of the section of railway that obstructs the extension of the Catania-Fontanarossa airport runway, with the construction of an artificial tunnel and trenches over a length of about 3 kilometres. The project also includes the modification of the Catania-Siracusa line, the construction of a new branch line for direct connections between Syracuse and Palermo and the new Bicocca station, with a new freight terminal in the existing facility, and the transformation of the Catania Aeroporto Fontanarossa stop into a station with the construction of a third track. The works, which form part of the new Palermo-Catania-Messina railway line, are of fundamental importance for mobility in Catania and Sicily: on the one hand, because they prepare the ground for the construction of the new runway at the Airport, on the other hand, because they improve the railway connection with Catania Fontanarossa Airport by upgrading the Catania Fontanarossa Airport station, modernising the Bicocca station, the most important freight terminal in Sicily, and bringing the railway line up to European standards. Tra le soluzioni migliorative proposte dal gruppo di lavoro di Proger segnaliamo in particolare due ambiti: interferenza idraulica della falda con le opere interrate, per cui sono state proposte soluzioni di efficientamento, miglioramento tecnologico e semplificazione della cantierizzazione; sostenibilità idrica del cantiere, che ha portato ad una stima della riduzione dell\'approvvigionamento idrico di 3,4 milioni di m3 di acqua, equivalenti a 1.360 piscine olimipioniche, con il recupero e riutilizzo tra il 90% ed il 100% delle acque civili, industriali e meteoriche grazie a prodotti innovativi, dispositivi puntuali di riduzione dei consumi, sistemi di efficientamento e di smart monitoring delle acque. Among the improvement solutions proposed by the Proger working group, we highlight two areas in particular: hydraulic interference of the water table with the underground works, for which solutions of efficiency, technological improvement and simplification of the construction site were proposed; water sustainability of the construction site, which has led to an estimated reduction in water supply of 3.4 million m3 of water, equivalent to 1,360 olympic swimming pools, thanks to the recovery and reuse between 90% and 100% of civil, industrial and meteoric water, achieved through the use of innovative products and point devices to reduce consumption, efficiency systems and smart monitoring.

Proger alongside Enel Grids for the development of the Italian electricity grid Proger has signed four two-year framework contracts with e-distribuzione for engineering services for primary substations and satellite centres. The Enel Group\'s electricity distribution company has 31.5 million users connected to its network, which extends over 1,100,000 km across Italy and reaches more than 7,400 municipalities. The agreement signed with Proger is part of the network development and reinforcement programme that Enel has planned in the country with the help of PNNR funds and represents a major contribution to Italy\'s electricity infrastructure, as it will increase the network\'s resilience and make it capable of absorbing renewable energy production from decentralised sources. The ambitious project involves the construction of around 200 new substations and the refurbishment of around 600 existing ones. Proger will contribute to the achievement of these objectives by providing engineering services, environmental impact studies, permitting services, construction supervision and safety and coordination plans. There are four macro-regions in the country in which Proger will be active, for a total base amount of just under €7M, up to a maximum of €12M. “These contracts are the result of numerous successful activities that we have developed and are carrying out for several Enel Group companies, in the context of a sustainable transition process that will increasingly require modern and efficient network infrastructures\" Rocco Marsico, Director of Proger\'s Green Energy Business Unit, commented: \"I am thinking, for example, of the numerous renewable energy plants under construction, battery energy storage systems (BESS) and the first installation of a thermal energy storage system (TESS) in a thermoelectric power plant: plants from all sources and with different applications are all the more efficient the more powerful and adequate the country\'s electricity infrastructure is\".

Proger and Vaccarini architects unveil a new concept for educational buildings A new school complex that is sustainable and open to the community, this is the design of the new 'Mazzini' secondary school in Pescara Proger and Vaccarini Architects have presented a new concept for public schools: a \'simple\' refurbishment of a school building in Pescara becomes an opportunity for urban regeneration of the block and the construction of a sustainable, student-friendly building. In two years, with an investment of more than EUR 6 million (EUR 5 million from an EIB loan and EUR 1 million from the municipality), a new school building will be built for the Giuseppe Mazzini secondary school in Pescara. The project was presented at a meeting with journalists and the school community attended by the Mayor of Pescara, Carlo Masci, the Councillor for Education, Gianni Santilli, the President of Proger, Umberto Sgambati, and the founder of Giovanni Vaccarini Architects, Giovanni Vaccarini. \"The project we are presenting today,\" said Mayor Carlo Masci at the opening of the event, \"represents a moment of great growth for our community, because it introduces a vision of an innovative school that has no precedent in our city. In fact, it is an intervention that, in terms of its construction characteristics, outlines a structure of great aesthetic and functional importance, capable at the same time of achieving objectives of eco-sustainability and environmental well-being for teachers and students. However, I would like to emphasise that in this project the future complex is destined to become an integral part of an urban regeneration process and not an \'alien body\' to the area concerned. I would therefore like to thank Proger and the architect Giovanni Vaccarini, our Councillor Gianni Santilli and the municipal technical offices, represented here by Giuliano Rossi\". The basic idea is to combine the themes and places of learning with the urban context and open spaces for park/garden education. Realisation of innovative learning environments with high acoustic, lighting and thermo-hygrometric well-being performance. Reducing land consumption and redeveloping the park to create usable green spaces that enrich the quality of life in the area and relate the school to the natural environment and landscape. Permeability and flexibility of spaces, usability of all environments also for functions related to those of the school and of interest to the community, such as the gymnasium and the sports field. The school as an example of eco-sustainability, with the aim of making the community aware, from secondary school onwards, of conscious consumption and knowledge of renewable energies (sun, earth and water). The use of renewable resources and the achievement of comfortable indoor and outdoor conditions will be visible and understandable to the users of the building. \"This project represents the first application of a new school building model, based on concepts that can be tailored to any educational need and urban context in our country,\" comments Umberto Sgambati, President of Proger. \"A new idea of school: beautiful, functional and sustainable, which is in itself a value and an inspiration for the children who will attend it\". \"The new complex has been designed to be the heart of an urban regeneration process,\" said architect Giovanni Vaccarini, \"under the banner of permeability and flexibility of spaces and the usability of all environments, also for functions related to school functions of interest to the community\". Deputy Mayor and Councillor for School Building Gianni Santilli said: \"The future structure aims to be a flagship for the Municipal School Building Plan that we are carrying out, as an administration, with my department. Personally, I am very satisfied with the whole operation and the smiling faces of the pupils and teachers present here today are the greatest gratification for me\". PROJECT DESCRIPTION Giovanni Vaccarini explained the contents of the future realisation and answered the questions of the students and teachers present. The new building for the Giuseppe Mazzini secondary school is an urban regeneration project for part of a central city block, bounded to the east by Via Regina Elena, to the west by Via Regina Margherita, and to the north and south by Viale Muzii and Via De Amicis respectively. The existing building, made up of three main blocks, was built in 1963, due to its age and the need to guarantee static and energy performance, it is necessary to replace the building. The idea is to concentrate the main building on the south-western edge of the intervention area in order to achieve some priority objectives Reduce land consumption Maximise the open permeable surface Identify a green corridor connecting Via Regina Elena and Via Regina Margherita, which can also become a connecting axis between the existing Lugi Illuminati school and the new Giuseppe Mazzini school building. Increase the amount of green space available for outdoor educational activities. The new school building is developed around a central courtyard typology, distributed on three above-ground levels, with vertical distribution ensured by a main circular double-helix staircase and a lift. This settlement typology allows for a minimum consumption of land. The body of the building consists of three levels above ground. On the ground floor, the body is partially vacant, creating a large entrance portico that constitutes the main access from Via Regina Margherita. The upper floors house normal, special and complementary educational activities. The roof garden contains spaces for urban gardens dedicated to outdoor educational activities. DISTRIBUTION OF FUNCTIONAL AREAS The ground floor is where the manned access to the school is located. From here there is access to the vertical distribution of floors and direct access to the gymnasium and the special services. On the first floor, on the west side (facing Via Regina Margherita), there are four sections of first classrooms, one after the other. The idea is to concentrate the groups of students per class, so that there can be moments of socialisation and educational exchange among peers. On the same floor there are three classrooms for special activities, in addition to the floor services. On the second floor, the four sections of the second and third classes are located on the east and west sides of the courtyard building. In addition to the floor services, there is a special activity room with movable walls and the school library, designed as an open space accessible to all students, to support the teaching activities on the inner courtyard path. The second floor also contains spaces for complementary activities: a teachers\' room, spaces for ATA staff and special services. On the third floor, the roof terrace is dedicated to outdoor educational activities. THE NUMBERS OF THE PROJECT No. 4 sections 12 classes 316 pupils 513 square metres of full-size gymnasium for volleyball matches 238 m² for special activities 40 square metres for musical activities 187 square metres for complementary and extra-curricular outdoor activities The project occupies a total intervention area of 3434 square metres. The covered area of the new intervention is 1260 square metres. The gross useful area is 2546 square metres. The open area is 2174 square metres.The permeable surface area is 2063 square metres.

New Hospital in South Salento A modern, functional and sustainable hospital complex Proger has signed a contract with the Local Health Authority of Lecce for the supply of Final Design, Construction Management and Safety Coordinator services for the construction of the Hospital in South Salento. An investment of 107 million euro for a structure much awaited by the territory, which will be built in the province of Lecce, between the municipalities of Melpignano and Maglie, and which will constitute a further acceleration factor in the expansion of the healthcare offer already undertaken at regional level. The group led by Proger, with Magninimo Ingegneri Associati, InAr, LAND Italia, Mirizzi Architetti Associati and Mr. Maurizio Mauri as health consultant, will develop the design of the new 370-bed hospital starting from the technical-economic feasibility project developed by the Mario Cucinella & Partners Studio Architects. The proposal was successful thanks to the difficult balance achieved, in the development of the design improvements presented, between the efficiency and functionality of the hospital on the one hand and the sustainability of the work as a whole on the other. Great attention has been paid to the reception of patients and visitors, to the accessibility of the structure and to the ease of identifying the different functional paths. One of the key elements of the project is undoubtedly represented by the new \"Main Street\", dedicated to public transit (out-patients, visitors and staff), which becomes the real \"backbone\" of the hospital connective system and place of entertainment and reception, with its information and orientation points, the bar-refreshment, the commercial areas and the lounges. The comment of the architect Piera Bisignani, project manager: \"Starting from the main street and retracing all the improvement solutions hypothesized in the various design areas, the red thread is undoubtedly the search for maximum sustainability of the work, from a social, environmental and economic point of view. In fact, unlike the pre-assessment carried out on the tender-based project which prefigured the obtainment of a Silver level certification, it will be possible to pursue a Gold/Platinum level LEED certification\"

Monitoring plan for the ancient Buriano Bridge and 40 other works in the Province of Arezzo The mapping and monitoring project of the infrastructures in the Arezzo Province territory has been launched. The infrastructures selected by the Province are being surveyed and inspected in order to determine their state of health and assign a class of attention. Proger, already responsible for the infrastructural monitoring of more than 7,000 bridges, viaducts and tunnels on the national motorway network, has been entrusted with this activity, together with Movyon, a leader in the development and integration of Intelligent Transport Systems solutions and a centre of excellence for research and innovation of the Autostrade per l\'Italia Group. A collaboration born from an initial experiment started a year ago on the ancient Buriano Bridge. The works in the Arezzo area are the first in Italy outside the motorway context to be inspected by Proger and digitised with the use of ARGO, the platform developed by Movyon in collaboration with IBM for managing the life cycle of the works on Autostrade per l\'Italia\'s network. The solution includes the digitisation of infrastructure assets, their storage in a database for the governance and control of data and processes, and the use of a mobile app to support field and remote inspections. The platform, built on the basis of the new guidelines of the Superior Council of Public Works, is integrated with the AINOP system, the National Computer Archive of Public Works, can be used in the cloud and is accompanied by training and assistance services. In detail, there are 44 bridges located throughout the territory that Proger inspectors are inspecting with ARGO. A precise reconnaissance that will allow the Province to better plan any maintenance work that needs to be undertaken, also optimising the management of funding. “We are pleased to make Proger\'s expertise in infrastructure surveillance available to the Province of Arezzo. Thanks to the specialisation and experience of our inspectors, we can assess the degree of safety of individual works and, consequently, the possible need for structural upgrades to ensure their full usability in total safety”, said Valerio Lombardi, Civil Engineering Business Unit Director of Proger.

Redevelopment of the former Sanatorium in Gorizia Three new structures outlined by the Italian Recovery and Resilience Plan to enhance community health care Proger was entrusted with the design for the redevelopment of the former sanatorium in Gorizia, which will host a new integrated territorial health care system. A total investment of 40 million euros for a project spread over 13,000 square meter area and represents the first activation of the two framework contracts recently acquired by the company, in a grouping with InAr, as part of the Italian Recovery and Resilience Plan (PNRR), Mission M6 Health. The project aims at creating three types of structures that are part of the strategic plan outlined in the PNRR to adapt the services of the National Health System to the needs of patient care and standardize them in every area of the country. Specifically, this is a 45-bed \"Community Hospital\", which represents an intermediate step between the actual hospital and home care; a \"Community House\", an access point to the health and social-health care system; a \"Territorial Operations Centre\", able to coordinate home services and other health services. To accommodate the new functions, in safety and according to the principles of sustainability, the project involves the reorganization of the internal spaces, the structural adaptation for the reduction of seismic vulnerability, the renovation of the technological systems, the improvement of the energy behaviour of the building and the setting up of the park with green spaces and new volumes hosting small businesses \"The implementation of this project will give an important response to the territorial needs of proximity assistance and the so-called intermediate care\", explains Valerio Lombardi, Director of the Civil Engineering BU of Proger, \"Furthermore, we will redevelop an important historical pavilion that has not been used for decades\".

Law Courts Park in Bari An energy-efficient and environmentally friendly public area to serve the city The commission for the Technical-Economic Feasibility Design of the Bari Law Courts Park and the Final Design of the first functional lot was awarded to the JV led by Atelier(s) Alfonso Femia, with Proger, Magnanimo Ingegneri Associati and Land Italia. The winning proposal of the design competition envisages the construction of a four-building complex intended for the judicial center, with 44,000 sqm of covered area, within a large urban park of 104,000 sqm, for a total value of the works of 252 million euros. The proposed four-building solution, instead of the six buildings envisaged in the tender basis, ensures the containment of construction time and costs and a limitation of the built-up area, to the advantage of the area to be used as a public park, which will be equipped with spaces for sports, play areas for children, gardens and community services, including a kindergarten. Architect Piera Bisignani, Project Manager of the assignment, comments, \"The Law Courts Park, located in the area currently occupied by the former Milano and Capozzi barracks in Bari, is an opportunity to stitch up one of the most fragmented territorial and urban areas in the Bari area, through the inclusion of an iconic project, a public area to serve the city. The project has been identified as a priority infrastructural intervention to be commissioned, therefore, the design will follow the stringent Guidelines issued by the Italian Government, which place a strong emphasis on the sustainability of the work and innovation in all its main meanings, themes, these, which have always been guiding principles of our company\". The Law Courts Park will, therefore, be an accessible, functional and flexible work as well as energy efficient and environmentally friendly throughout its life cycle, according to the principles of the circular economy. The design approach includes the achievement of nZEB (Near Zero Emission Building) standards, and the application of environmental objectives, defined within the taxonomy system of eco-sustainable activities and the DNSH (Do No Significant Harm) principle, with the goal of LEED Gold certification and potential for achieving Platinum, thanks to passive and active energy and water-saving solutions, the abatement of CO2 emissions and the choice of materials with a high content of recycled or recovered materials.

Inauguration of TES, the Thermal Energy Storage system for the Santa Barbara thermal power plant World's first installation of the green solution to make power plants more flexible and efficient Inaugurated the Thermal Energy Storage (TES) system at the 390 MW Santa Barbara power plant. Proger was contracted by the manufacturer, Israel-based Brenmiller, for project management, supervision, quality control, contract and supplier management services for the installation of the TES in the ENEL combined cycle power plant located in the province of Arezzo. The TES is a totally green system that allows to increase the efficiency of the power plant, thus reducing consumption and polluting emissions. In technical terms, it is a modular heat exchanger with storage capacity, by means of a mixture of crushed solid rocks, which works in an integrated manner with the thermal cycle of the plant by acting as an \"energy buffer\": it can store or return energy by withdrawing or reintroducing steam into the circuit that feeds the steam turbine of the thermoelectric power plant. In this way, the TES ensures more stable and, at the same time, more responsive electricity production with respect to changes in demand, thus increasing the plant\'s efficiency and flexibility. \"This project fits perfectly with Proger\'s approach to the energy transition,\" comments Rocco Marsico, BU Green Energy director, \"which cannot disregard an incremental path of optimizing current power generation systems with solutions that are technologically mature, easily installable and therefore sustainable from all points of view\".

The most recent of these is the Riyadh Art Program, which aims to turn the city into an open-air art gallery and make it a world-class tourist and cultural destination.  Riyadh Art is one of four grand projects being developed by RCRC that will collectively transform the capital into an environmentally friendly, sustainable city which offers the highest standards of livability and lifestyle, in line with the Kingdom’s Vision 2030 goals. Proger is in charge of the Program Management Office of this civic art initiative of unprecedented scale, with more than 1000 contemporary artwork to be installed in 300 sites across Riyadh, that will spectacularly transform public spaces, create a movement for artistic expression through community engagement, and accelerate the development of its cultural economy.  In order to make such an ambitious vision come true, Proger has assembled a team of engineers, designers, managers, art experts and directors of some of the world\'s most important museums to work together according to the company’s principles of flexibility and excellence. Notable collaborations include the Civita Group, KPMG and Ilaria Bonacossa, as well as one hundred professionals from all over the world, each with their own traditions and culture, but all united by Proger\'s values of internationality and multidisciplinarity. With a video made by Proger Smart Communication, the communications company controlled by Proger, the spectacular work being done with the Riyadh Art project was visually summarized. https://vimeo.com/715217424/478928626e Going into details, Riyadh Art is divided into 10 sub-programs and two annual festivals.  Sub-programs range from Jewels of Riyadh, dedicated to site-specific installations of artworks by world-renowned artists in the city\'s most important squares, to Hidden River, that is focused on illuminating the main bridges of the city and revitalising the wadis banks. They span different levels of scale and visual impact, from the numerous small playground projects of Joyous Gardens to the imposing works of Art on the Move and Welcoming Gateways, which will mark the most important infrastructural junctions and entrance \'gates\' to the city. To complete the overview, we can mention Art in Transit, dedicated to metro and public transport stations, Urban Art Lab, Urban Flow, Garden City and Riyadh Icon, which will give life to a new landmark in the city, visual symbol of the cultural aspirations of Vision 2030.  Then there are the two festivals, which are at the moment, the most tangible display of Riyadh Art:  Noor Riyadh is a citywide annual festival of light and art consisting of numerous public art installations across Riyadh, an awe-inspiring exhibition and a diverse program of talks, tours, workshops and events. The first edition was held in March 2021 and was attended by more than 300.000 visitors. In a period of restrictions it really is an impressive number.The Tuwaiq International Sculpture Symposium is an event gathering artists from all over the world to produce a series of permanent public sculptures. The entire creative process is open and accessible to the public with a program of events, visits and talks. The works will be on view at the end of the Symposium before moving to an open-air gallery that will be accessible to the public. To date, much of this work has taken place behind the scenes and is not yet visible: Proger formed a panel of experts consisting of figures such as Eike Schmidt - Director of the Uffizi Galleries, Florence (Italy), Cristiana Collu - Director of National Gallery of Modern and Contemporary Art, Rome (Italy), Director of the  21st Century Museum of Contemporary Art, Kanazawa (Japan), Aric Chen -  Artistic Director?of Het Nieuwe Instituut, Rotterdam (Netherlands); so far, Proger has involved more than 200 artists from all over the world; identified a shortlist of 170 world-class artworks and selected 24 of them for purchase, after a careful evaluation by renowned international auction houses and the judgement of the experts panel; Proger launched 3 international competitions, in which it selected more than 20 proposals and, finally, presented a list of companies that will be responsible for constructing and installing the works and whose activities the company will supervise during the operational phase.

24/7 surveillance of road works in the Municipality of Rome 500 works of Rome's main road network under daily surveillance for the next three years The bridges, viaducts and tunnels among the main 800 km of the Municipality of Rome road network are subjected to 24/7 surveillance by the joint venture led by Proger. In recent weeks, Roma Capitale has entrusted to the JV, which includes also Studio Speri and Bureau Veritas, the framework agreement (total maximum tender amount approx. 5.5 million) for the surveillance and monitoring service of the road works. The activities started a fortnight ago and the companies will be thus committed for the forthcoming three years. The most important works of the Municipality of Rome subjected to 24/7 surveillance – and 365 days a year – are 500. The inspectors will operate by means of vehicles specially equipped with signalising systems, video recording and GPS tracking and will carry out periodic monitoring activities with the support of technological tools such as drones and laser scanner surveys, aimed at creating 3D models of the monitored infrastructures. \"The structural checks and the surveillance of the state of our works\", states Ornella Segnini,council member for public works, \"are the main objective of the management and maintenance of the vast road network of the capital which, thanks to Proger technicians’ support, is thus able to update its database on road works on a daily basis, identify any problems and promptly resolve any critical issues that may arise \". In accordance with the ANSFISA technical guidelines (the National Agency responsible for the control of bridges, viaducts and tunnels), through an Operations Centre for the coordination of surveillance, monitoring and, in general, all engineering activities, Proger manages from its Roman headquarters the numerous technicians and engineers operating in the municipal area. An organisation of this type allows the Municipality to better manage the service, guaranteeing smoothness in the approach, planning and the possibility of keeping under control the heterogeneous infrastructural heritage of the Capital, consisting of historic bridges, viaducts of large developments, crucial galleries, and modern works of architectural value. \"Proger is ready to face such a demanding challenge - comments Marco Lombardi, CEO of the company - thanks to the vast experience gained since 2018 in the extensive monitoring and surveillance activities of the thousands of works in the national network of Autostrade per l\'Italia and other concessionaires\". It is an important commitment, in terms of continuous presence within the territory, number of works to be inspected and, above all, of great responsibility towards the safety of millions of citizens, not only Romans, who cross the streets of the city every day.

Proger entrusted with the strategic planning of the port system of the Strait of Messina The JV led by Proger and consisting of the companies Dinamica and Systematica was tasked with the drafting of the System Strategic Planning Document by the Port System Authority of the Strait. The DPSS defines the development objectives and systemic planning contents of the port authorities; it identifies and perimeters the areas intended for  port and rear-port functions, the port-city interaction areas, the last mile infrastructural links of road and rail type with the individual ports of the system, the crossings of the urban center; it ensures a clear and unambiguous identification of the addresses, rules and procedures for the drafting of the individual Port Regulatory Plans. Proger and the other companies of the JV will have five months to prepare the DPSS, which must then be submitted for the opinion of the municipalities concerned, the Calabria Region and the Sicily Region and finally approved by the Ministry of Sustainable Infrastructures and Mobility. This opens a decisive planning phase for the growth of the port and rear-port system under the responsibility of the AdSP.  According to the Document, it will be possible to start the drafting of the Port Regulatory Plans for the ports of Milazzo, Reggio Calabria, Villa San Giovanni and Saline and the updating of that of Messina. Solutions to the many existing criticalities will be proposed in order to support the development of port activities and to ensure increasingly modern and quality services to passengers and operators.

Upgrading of the Financantieri Plant in the Port of Genoa Integrated contract awarded to Proger’s JV The JV led by Consorzio Stabile Grandi Lavori, which sees Proger among the main designers, was awarded by the Port Authority of Genoa to carry out the \"upgrading\" of the Fincantieri plant in Sestri Ponente. With a total offer of 338.6 million euros, the JV won the tender attended by all the most important Italian construction companies. It refers to the construction of one of the most important maritime works of the last 15 years in Italy. More specifically, the \"definitive and executive design and the execution of the works relating to the adaptation to the safety regulations in the workplace, as well as the rationalization of the accessibility of the industrial port area of Genova Sestri Ponente\" represent the executive part of the Phase 2 of the interventions program for the construction of the new dry dock, capable of accommodating the construction of ships up to 150,000 tonnes, in the Fincantieri shipyard area. To achieve this goal it is necessary to remodel the operational areas (yards), for a total area of about 500,000 square meters, to adapt the seabed with dredging at an altitude of -11.00 m a.s.l. and to expand the area of the basin in front of the shipyards. This will ensure maneuver space for the 380-meter long and 50-meter wide ships that will be built there. Other interventions will be also made to improve the external and internal viability of the area, with regard to future programs under the responsibility of Ferrovie dello Stato and Autostrade per l\'Italia. The project is part of the \"extraordinary urgent investment program for the recovery and development of the port and related accessibility infrastructures\", worth over 2 billion euros, where major works have been identified for the development of the Port of Genoa. In this regard, Proger is already at work with various assignments, including the \"executive design of the new descent for shipbuilding use within the Porto Petroli of Genoa Sestri Ponente and the hydraulic arrangement of the Molinassi river\", a project that is strictly linked to the expansion of the Fincantieri area, and the upgrading project of the technical dock dedicated to the loading and unloading of oil tankers, in the outer area of Genoa\'s Old Port.

The JV led by Proger - composed of SINA s.p.a., Progin s.p.a. and BRENG srl - was awarded Lot 6, relating to the territorial structures of Abruzzo, Molise and Puglia, for the duration of 4 years with a maximum amount of 14 million euros. Also in this case, thanks to an excellent technical-organizational structure, the JV can guarantee the simultaneous execution of seven application contracts with BIM methodology. Proger can also boast a long and fruitful collaboration with Anas, with which it currently has further framework agreements: in 2021 it acquired DG 159 Lot 1 (read the news) , for definitive and executive design services relating to works underground and is currently working on some projects activated under the agreements DG 43 Lot 4, for the design of maintenance and safety interventions, and DG 27 Lot 6, for the design of new works, including the adaptation of the motorway section of the Avellino-Salerno junction of the A2 Salerno-Reggio Calabria motorway and the doubling of the State Road 268 \"Del Vesuvio\".

Proger at OMC-MED Ravenna Taking a leading role in the energy transition Sustainable energy, the ecological and energy transition and technological innovation are the topics on which companies (from traditional and renewable energy companies to producers of services and technological solutions for plant construction and distribution) involved in a sector that is increasingly at the centre of economic, social and cultural news will be confronted. Proger spa will be present again this year at the 15th edition of the Omc-Med Conference and Exhibition in Ravenna (from 28 to 30 September), the biennial showcase of the main players in the energy industry for the countries bordering the Mediterranean. Proger has been working in the energy sector since the 1990s, having developed transversal skills that apply to both traditional and more innovative productions. Overall, the annual turnover deriving from the design of plants and technological solutions in the energy industry is about 50 million euros, about half of Proger\'s entire turnover. The company employs around 300 people in Italy and abroad. The skills developed by Proger spa in these thirty years of work in the energy sector have been transversal, \"and make it a natural protagonist of transition engineering, an ideal hinge between the past that will accompany us for a short time to come, and a future that has already begun but requires time and investment to establish itself definitively\", as explained by Umberto Sgambati, CEO of Proger spa, who will be present in Ravenna on the opening day of the Omc. The skills developed by Proger spa in these thirty years of work in the energy sector have been transversal, \"and make it a natural protagonist of transition engineering, an ideal hinge between the past that will accompany us for a short time to come, and a future that has already begun but requires time and investment to establish itself definitively\", as explained by Umberto Sgambati, CEO of Proger spa, who will be present in Ravenna on the opening day of the Omc. The \"holistic vision\" built up over the years by the work of Proger spa ensures a present made up of projects on every side of the energy sector, contributing to the construction of more sustainable plants in traditional production, increasing planning in the renewable energy sector, investing with expertise in the field of \"green\" energy (from hydrogen to bioethanol). It is worth mentioning, on the latter front, the important experience of Proger in the construction of hydrogen production plants, both as a by-product of the recovery and purification of traditional refineries - as in the case of the Lukoil plant in Burgas (Bulgaria) - and as \"green\" production from the electrolysis of water, in the pilot project conducted by Enel on the island of Stromboli.

Remediation works started on La Martella waste treatment platform The first step towards returning an important facility to the city of Matera The remediation of the landfill adjacent to the waste treatment platform in \"La Martella\" began. Proger (in JV with Eng. Barucchello) is in charge of the design, supervision of works and safety coordination of the intervention aimed at overcoming the EU infringement procedure, dated back to September 2017, through environmental impact mitigation works for each of the sectors composing the plant. The municipal solid waste treatment platform is located approximately 7 km from Matera and covers a total area of approximately 25 hectares, divided into 5 sectors. The first phase of the work, which is expected to last 8 months, will involve the relocation of the overburden present in sectors III and IV to sector V, for a total of approximately 45,000 tonnes of waste, and will make it possible to resolve the current environmental risk situation. On completion of the operations, the final capping layers will be laid and the revegetation and environmental restoration work will be carried out, with the installation of new treatment plants for biogas and leachate extracted from the landfill sectors and rainwater. The work will be completed within one year and the areas will be handed back to the municipality for its operation and maintenance activities.

2020 Financial statements: Proger increase profit and assets Proger\'s economic results for the year 2020 are to be considered more than satisfactory despite the Covid emergency, as also confirmed by the A.3.1 rating by Cerved Rating Agency: the 2020 financial statements show an increase in EBITDA (+ 20.10%), net profit (+ 15.75%) and shareholders\' equity (+ 12.5%), and a substantial confirmation of the turnover of 88.25 million euros, against a value of 88.95 in 2019 (-0.79%). The gross operating margin (EBITDA), contrary to what has happened worldwide, has had a substantial improvement reaching 12,54 million euros against the 10.44 million recorded in 2019. The Ebitda Margin (EBITDA / Value of Production) - which stands at 14.21% with an increase of 2.47 percentage points compared to 2019 (11.74%) – is particularly interesting to potential investors. Therefore net profit stands at 5.78 million euros, with an increase of approximately 1 million compared to the previous year. From a financial and equity point of view, Proger spa shows an excellent relationship between Net Financial Position (NFP) and EBITDA, both in absolute value and with regard to the sector it belongs to; given the operating margin achieved, the de quo index, equal to 1.99 compared to 2.60 in 2019, summarizes the ability to repay the bank debt in a limited time frame and in any case much lower than that actually contracted. Finally, Proger’s “book value” (shareholders\' equity) is noteworthy, showing a marked increase, amounting to € 49,136 million compared to € 43,681 in 2019. The positive results of 2020 are attributable to the performance of Proger\'s main business lines and precisely: Multidisciplinary Engineering: for the strategic role played during the Covid-19 emergency, by carrying out orders related to the expansion of healthcare facilities and the procurement of medical devices. Infrastructure: for due diligence and construction management and surveillance activities carried out for ASPI. It should be noted that this sector is currently booming given the particular attention the Italian and European legislators are paying to the maintenance of high-risk infrastructures (bridges, tunnels, dams ..).Green Energy: for activities related to the production of energy from renewable sources, biofuels as well as the energy efficiency of existing real estate assets.Oil & Gas: for the engineering and construction projects relating to fully automated drilling rigs according to which Proger\'s \"Stargate Rigs\" system is \"unique\" on the international market. In fact, the automations applied to the main components of the plant allow both to carry out drilling without personnel, by controlling the process from a control cabin and eliminating any risks of serious accidents, and to assemble and disassemble the plant itself, by speeding up transport from one field to another with significant cost saving.

Transition Engineering The article by Proger CEO Umberto Sgambati for Il Sole 24 Ore We are living a historic moment in which all technological references seem to have been overcome by environmental, social and health changes, which ask for a rapid transition towards what is New.For some time now ambitious policies, programs and initiatives at various levels (from the UN to the EU) push towards objectives that seem incompatible with the times and ways with which, starting from the Industrial Revolution, technological innovations have occurred in every field. Now they invoke the urgency of a rapid, disruptive change, and it is not a coincidence that the adjective \"disruptive\" is the most used in the daily speeches about Transition\"! But the almost messianic expectation of the maturation of extraordinary innovation from now to 10, 20 or even 30 years paradoxically risks holding back the renewal of what is existing, physiological due to obsolescence or convenient on the basis of a technical / economic analysis, for fear of finding oneself with works, plants and infrastructures already outdated at the time of entering into operation or shortly thereafter (the \"stranded assets\"). On the other hand, the immediate deployment of technologies still far from full maturity would not be economically sustainable: obviously, it would not be sustainable for companies, nor even for the state, which would have to commit substantial funding resources (a film that has already been seen!) The combination of these elements risks transforming the Ecological Transition into a sterile race spreading evocative messages that promise ambitious commitments for the distant future. With the real risk that these commitments remain such or reach the poor result of improving in the short term and cheaply the reputation of those who declare them from time to time.  On the contrary, Transition is a stage race, where each stage is equally important because all together they draw an authentically sustainable trajectory towards the New, that will never be reached with a single leap, or with uncertain or too long steps.Deciding the number, length and duration of each stage; identifying and deploying innovative technologies that are sufficiently mature, and above all suitable for the national context; developing new ones, experimenting to make them available for the following stages; using the best public-private partnership tools, perhaps modifying them to encourage widespread use, to maximize the benefits and reduce the time and risk of this long march. To my mind, this is the real challenge of the Transition. \"A crisis can be a real blessing to any person, to any nation. For all crises bring progress. Creativity is born from anguish, just like the day is born form the dark night. It\'s in crisis that inventiveness is born, as well as discoveries made and big strategies.\" Should we trust Albert Einstein (so often quoted in this period) we will live an extraordinary era, in which a development model has entered into crisis but a new model is still far away, and it is only possible to catch a glimpse of it : we are currently wading, and extraordinary opportunities are opening up. To still all doubts, the analysis of the document that constitutes the National Recovery and Resilience Plan, presented on 30th April by the Italian Government to the European Commission should suffice: 6 missions, divided into 16 components, each in turn comprising serveal lines of intervention (43 in all), divided into different actions. This investment accounts for 235 billion euros, between European loans (non-repayable and on loan) and a national complementary fund.Everything has to be planned, designed, authorised and launched in a very short time (no later than 2023) and completed respecting the time schedules, as well as times, costs and quality; and, in any case, by 2026. A very ambitious plan, due to the variety and breadth of the planned projects: from energy efficiency and redevelopment of private and public buildings, with particular attentiont to schools and hospitals, to renewable sources; from public transport and sustainable mobility to major road, rail and port works; from the intelligent monitoring of our rich building and infrastructural heritage, to the engineering for its maintenance, safety and prevention; from the digitization of the public administration and the health system, to the new frontiers of telemedicine and personal care and well-being.And many other projects, capable of triggering a virtuous innovation and economic growth process, as well as constituting an extraordinary competition for the best engineering skills in the country, which will have to produce an exceptional effort and do their best so that the numerous external constraints, as far as timing, technical and permitting issues concern, do not prevent the achievement of such ambitious and important objectives.However, the scientific, technological and management challenge that awaits us - albeit of an epochal scale - is not the only one, especially if we look at PNRR as the first step of the Transition. At least two others must be added: on one hand, of economic nature, and on the other hand of social nature. Let\'s start with the first. In order to establish a new development model, it is necessary to invest as many resources in new technologies, but it must be done by adopting specific tools according to the level of technological maturity reached. To quote the European Green Deal, this allows \"to eliminate greenhouse gas emissions by 2050, in all sectors of the economy, from the generation of electricity to the whole industry, agriculture, cars, buses, airplanes, ships, while ensuring biodiversity and sustainable use of natural resources, without compromising economic growth, even increasing it, thus increasing \'the well-being of European citizens. Interventions - and incentives - unrelated to the actual \"maturation\" would inevitably lead to the useless waste of public money, without approaching the common goal and supporting few beneficiaries.We are therefore in the presence of an optimization problem: it is necessary to approach the project objective at the minimum cost - in any case very high - otherwise the effort would be useless, as well as unsustainable.For the economic sustainability of the Transition it will be necessary to identify the most suitable regulatory and financial instruments, making use as much as possible of the Public-Private partnership: the best engineering, managerial, entrepreneurial and financial skills must be involved (as is known, private capital in the current accounts of Italians amount to a figure about 8 times higher than the entire amount of the PNRR!) that are able to ensure the \'technical-economic sustainability of the Transition but also the perfect and pragmatic knowledge of the Territory, to guarantee projects tailored to real needs.In this regard, the presence and work of leading companies, well rooted in the Territory but aiming at international markets, which know how to integrate and develop the capacity and creativity of local excellences, will prove to be fundamental - and globalization requires it. This will ensure the leap in quality necessary to connect local players and the rest of the world. As far as the social order within the Transition project concerns, it is clear that the permitting procedures are the heart of the matter. In fact, such an organic and widespread system of measures requires the construction of works and infrastructures of all kinds: from transport to telecommunications, from energy to water and waste management, from networks - physical and digital - to interventions on existing buildings (for recovery and efficiency, but also for demolition and reconstruction, for hundreds of thousands of buildings - if only one property out of 100 were carried out, the interesting buildings would be more than 700 thousand); from urban and infrastructural changes in cities - increasingly smart and eco-sustainable - to the recovery of villages and inland areas, destined to become \"offshoots\" of urban areas connected by digital infrastructures and able to guarantee a different quality of life; from the redevelopment and upgrading of production plants to adapt them to new energy sources, to the construction of new power plants and infrastructures for the production, storage and management of the new green energy.But all these interventions - and the list would be very long - are today in fact hindered, if not even impeded, by a deep-rooted opposition to change; and this even in the presence of well thought-out projects, in compliance with the rules and the territory, as well as supported by complete and correct impact assessments. This opposition, often preconceived, must be faced and mitigated with a careful process of information and involvement that requires knowledge, transparency, credibility and intellectual honesty.This too will be a fundamental piece of the Transition project. The effective and efficient design of the Transition means integrating different skills:Not only technical, but also socio-urban, economic-financial, managerial, communicative, etc. All together, they must define and enable an growth path towards the New and identify the different stages, according to those technologies available and with particular attention to the territorial context. And then to be able to detect potential obstacles in time and to propose possible remedies, manage risks, analyze alternative hypotheses if need be and propose the necessary variants, quickly reschedule interventions to meet deadlines and budget. Last but not least, optimising investments, with the participation of private capital, as a futher guarantee of the ability of the business class, by naturally proposing fair measures for an appropriate remuneration. It is therefore necessary to design interventions that are concretely and authentically sustainable, which implement the Transition process step by step, based on a close and loyal relationship with the Territory, through the involvement of projects and local resources guided by the best entrepreneurial realities, that work according to guidelines defined by the public watchdog.  It is high time to Engineer Transition.

Framework Agreement with EDP Renewables Italia Holding for electrical substations for wind farms Proger enhances its relationship with EDP Renewables, winning a two-year framework agreement for the supply of electrical substation design services for renewable plants that EDPR plans to build in Italy. Proger will have to provide the Executive Project and prepare all the documentation required to launch the tenders for its construction. The agreement, which follows the one for the provision of technical assistance services and supervision of works related to the development of wind farms and photovoltaic systems, confirms the company\'s experience in the electrical substations sector, an area in which it also works for other important Italian players such as Terna and Enel. The first project concerning the substation connected to the Fulgatore wind farm in the province of Trapani is currently underway. Proger will be responsible for the development of the executive project (civil and electromechanical) of the EDPR electrical substation for the connection to the National Transmission Grid (NTG) of the electricity produced by wind power, coming from 12 wind turbines with a unitary power of 3.65 MW, for a total power of 43.8 MW, installed in the Wind Farm. The substation will enable the transformation of the energy produced by the wind farm from 20 kV voltage to 150 kV voltage for connection to the National Transmission Grid (NTG) with 150 kV voltage. The user station will consist of a 150 kV operating voltage section, with relative step-up transformer, and a 20 kV operating voltage section for the connection to the wind farm.

New ISTAT Headquarters Proger, in JV with A.B.D.R. Architetti Associati, MANENS-TIFS and Studio VALLE Progetti, was awarded the final design of the new Istat (Italian National Institute of Statistics) headquarters after winning the Design Competition – out of 17 competing groups – in 2019. The new Istat Headquarters will be built in the Pietralata area in Rome. The design strategies focused their attention on the relationships with the city and its flows, with the aim to contribute, through the design of public spaces, to a better overall quality of the urban environment. The project is characterised by “openness and permeability” criteria, allowing, on one hand, a great flexibility in the use of the facilities annexed to the offices – so that they can be shared by the community – and, on the other hand, offering articulated and modular spaces within the building and the working environments. The building structure will consist of a two-storey basement, intended for ancillary activities (entrance hall, library and historical archive, Museum of statistics, refreshment area, kindergarten, gym and conference centre), from the overlying 8-storey L-shaped building, intended for offices, and two underground floors, dedicated to parking and the technological centre. All enriched with a double square, namely a pedestrian square at zero altitude and the other located on a 9-meter higher terrace, which will host a “hanging forest”, open to the public. The project applied the best bioclimatic and energy efficiency strategies and maximized the use of renewable energy sources, providing protection systems for direct solar radiation for all the facades, accumulation and release systems of the accumulated thermal load, along with passive bioclimatic systems based on convective loops (passive heating and cooling).

The JV led by Proger was first in the ranking of a public tender procedure, carried out by a tender commission appointed by the Ministry of Infrastructure and Transport, for each of the three overall lots into which the contract was divided according to the competence area of the Territorial Offices. Proger will therefore offer integrated engineering services regarding supervision and control, the execution of tests and instrumental, functional or related surveys - quarterly, annual or bi-monthly - partly \"scheduled\" and partly \"on call\", for a total of 7,385 works of art, including viaducts, overpasses, galleries and minor works. The operational organization foresees the activation of a Front-Office in close proximity to each of the Territorial Offices and a Back-Office for all coordination and engineering activities at Proger’s headquarters in Rome, which will ensure homogeneity of approach, planning and evaluation for all artworks on the network. This assignment follows the checks already carried out by the company on over 4,500 works throughout Italy starting from 2019, thus ensuring immediate operation and an already consolidated knowledge of the needs and problems to be solved. The tender-based contract has a duration of 3 years, extendable for other 2 years, for a total value of € 67,500,000. Link to ASPI’s press release

Former Allianz headquarter, Corso Italia 23 Milan Proger to work on the important redevelopment project The redevelopment project of the historical Allianz Group headquarter was presented in Milan after being entrusted to SOM – Skidmore, Owings & Merrill. Proger, together with its technical partners – BMS, Manens-Tifs and Systematica – performed the structural and MEP design, the technical coordination of the whole project, and the consultancy services, in particular with regard to environmental sustainability topics and to the relations with the institutions to obtain the Building Permit. Moreover, Proger has been chosen by Allianz Real Estate, owner of the real estate complex, to complete the entire design implementation phase, along with Construction supervision, Safety coordination and Construction management activities. The project will transform the 50,000-square meter historical complex located in Corso Italia – originally designed by Gio Ponti, Piero Portaluppi and Antonio Fornaroli in the early ‘60s – into an urban campus with offices and open spaces. Three buildings and a new internal courtyard with a garden will be the heart of the campus; the office floors, which are all open-space, will host central common areas; solar panels and new façade materials will considerably reduce heat dispersion; the introduction of green areas and the renovation of the outdoor courtyard, with restaurants, shops, and a co-working space will allow a deeper connection with the neighbourhood. All the above is accomplished with attention to sustainability concepts, workplace, well-being and smart building strategies, ensuring continuity with the original design. The project deals with all sustainability aspects  – environment, source and people management – aspiring to achieve the LEED/WELL Gold standards, through specific passive and active strategies linked to the climatic characteristics of the region to improve the building’s performance thus becoming an outstanding example of environmental performance.

The financial transaction was carried out thanks to a strategic agreement between PM & P - of which Proger\'s Managing Directors, Umberto Sgambati and Marco Lombardi, are the main shareholders - and Cadogan Petroleum Holdings BV, 100% controlled by Cadogan Petroleum PLC, a company listed on the London Stock Exchange. The industrial partnership between Proger and Cadogan will be strengthened by the presence of two figures, including the President, appointed by Cadogan to the Board of Directors of Proger, composed of seven members. \"This agreement\" declares the CEO, Marco Lombardi, \"offers both companies the advantage of potential operational synergies for the development of their respective activities and marks a further step forward in Proger\'s international development path which in recent years has recorded a steady growth in value of production (€ 124 million in 2017 ) confirming itself today as the non-captive number 1 engineering company in Italy\".

One year support to a vaccination centre in Congo Pointe Noire, Congo - Proger has signed a partnership agreement with the Health Department of the Kouilou Region, in Congo, to support for one year a vaccination centre in Pointe Noire: the CSI (Integrated Health Centre) of Mpita, a densely populated borough of the city. The project, conceived with the aim of promoting the healthcare of those communities that live in the areas the company works in, with the collaboration of local stakeholders and on the basis of the Country’s policies, is linked to the national vaccination strategy set by the Ministry of Health of the Republic of Congo for the 5-year period 2016-2020 (Programme Elargi de Vaccination - PEV).   More specifically, the project’s objective is to contribute to the reduction of the incidence of the major endemic diseases, on one hand, according with Proger’s competences, through the strengthening of CSI plants and, on the other hand, through the organization and management of a customized awareness campaign. This will be mainly addressed to children and mothers: in this regard a prompt action is particularly important because it is decisive for the future of the country, and it will involve the surrounding population during the implementation phase of the program, by favouring the creation of professional opportunities for the local communities. Proger has been working in Congo since 2009 and, thanks to this initiative, it confirms once more the attention it addresses to the realization of sustainable, efficient and responsible social projects in those countries where it works, trying to positively impact the development of the hosting communities.

Road ‘Pedemontana Aspromonte Tirrenico’ Reggio Calabria, Italy - Proger has been awarded, together with the company Cosedil S.p.A., with the detailed design and works execution on the basis of the final design of the road Pedemontana dell’Aspromonte Tirrenico, linking the mountain municipalities of Cinquefrondi, San Giorgio Morgeto and Cittanova (province of Reggio Calabria), connecting the former main road 111 and the “Strada di Grande Comunicazione” crossing the ridge between the Ionian coast and the Plains of Rosarno.   With reference to the project, one of the main aspects of the technical offer developed during the tender stage referred to the operating process proposed for the completion of the viaducts structures partially built and abandoned between the \'80s and the \'90s. In this regard, due to the poor knowledge of the types of underpinning already built, of the mechanical characteristics of the concrete and of the reinforcement rods at its inside, Proger has proposed the abandon of the existing substructures and the realization of brand new works for three out of four viaducts of the section. As per the Macario viaduct, the most important of the lot, the reuse of the existing piers and abutments has been studied, after the optimization of the design of dosserets, which will be lighter because fully in steel. This solution ensures a general behaviour of the viaducts in case of seismic events, a longer overall lastingness, better safety and a clear simplification for the construction stages. Finally, the offer has been completed with some technical improvements and with the identification of a series of additional interventions in the territories of the surrounding Municipalities, in order to benefit road users and to emphasize the territory.
