Venice Flood Protection
Location: Venice, Italy
GLF SpA has been part of the Consorzio Venezia Nuova to which the Italian government has entrusted the vast project for the protection of Venice and its lagoons. The primary objectives are restoration of the environment, protection of Venice from high tides, and to halt the ongoing urban decay and deterioration of the lagoons. The secondary objective is to put in place an effective management system to monitor, control, and thereby preserve the newly restored environmental/ecological balance.
This mega-project involves the most significant and complex studies, experimentation and intervention works ever undertaken by the State of Italy.
