Who are the Pichetto (Environment) technicians who make the Webuild Bridge wobble

Who are the Pichetto (Environment) technicians who make the Webuild Bridge wobble

Because the Via Subcommission of the Ministry of the Environment is asking for clarification on the Strait Bridge project and who is part of the technical body.

The Ministry of the Environment headed by Alberto Pichetto Frattin (Brothers of Italy) stands between the Minister of Infrastructure, the leader of the League Matteo Salvini and the bridge over the Strait. The project must be integrated with new elements of analysis necessary for the work of the Via-Vas del Mase Commission chaired by Massimiliano Atelli .

THE COMMISSION'S FINDINGS

The EIA technical commission of the Ministry of the Environment has drawn up a report on the final project of the Bridge over the Strait of Messina requesting 155 additions for the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA); 66 additions for the Impact Assessment (VINCA, verifies the consequences of a work on Natura 2000 sites, protected sites of EU interest, ed.); 16 additions to the Land Use Plan (PUT); 2 additions for the Verification of Compliance (VO). A 42-page document – available on "Environmental assessments and authorizations: VAS VIA AIA" of the relevant commissions of the Ministry of the Environment and Energy Security – lists 239 requests for integration of documents to the Stretto di Messina Company, as part of the evaluation of the Messina Strait Bridge project. The Webuild group company will have one month to respond to the Commission's requests.

The Via Subcommission asks to clarify the "social, economic, political and institutional context in which the project is set" in relation to the delicate issue of the maintenance costs of the work. And therefore the "request to better specify the type and variety of investment, maintenance and management costs of the work", according to what the newspapers Sole 24 ore and Repubblica wrote today.

Furthermore, it intends to know «if the cost estimate has been updated compared to current conditions or if the values ​​indicated in the previous documentation have been maintained», in light of the fact that in the meantime the world has changed. And that on bridges the cost gap is quantified at 26 percent. The dossier also asks for information on the construction phase which will presumably last several years and which in the report was treated with the elements of the operation of the Bridge. The project "does not describe the construction site system, limiting itself to the list of identified construction site areas", writes the Subcommission.

The summary even speaks of «Deficient, dated and in some cases illegible documents», with the request to «update the environmental impact study, a new general construction site report, the verification of the land and rock use plan, other studies on seismic and tsunami scenarios, new documents on air quality".

«Many tables of the document relating to the update of the traffic study are physically unreadable due to font problems». The construction site remains "as it was presented in 2011 but not updated even with the changes introduced with the 2012 revision".

The documents in the event of earthquakes and tsunamis are also insufficient: «It is required to present an updated and congruent picture, examining the tsunami hazard conditions in the Strait of Messina area. It is required to present an updated and congruent picture of the definition of the updated seismic risk scenarios in relation to the current state of the places, the construction phase and the post-operam state".
