HC Palermo–Catania Lot 1+2 (Fiumetorto–Lercara) is a key section of the Palermo-Catania high capacity rail programme that will add about 30km of new double track, including some 20km of parallel tunnels - to shorten travel times across Sicilly and strengthen the island's role on the Scandinavian–Mediterranean TEN-T corridor. The lot includes major tunneling, viaducts and station works and is central to regional connectivity and economic development.

For this project, Unicrane has supplied 10 sets of segment molds with the specification OD 9.0 m × 1.8 m × 0.5 m (7P/R) to support the large-scale lining works. This delivery underlines our capability to provide large-diameter mold solutions for flagship rail infrastructure and reinforces our partnership with leading contractors in Italy.
