Doubling of the Russi-Cotignola water duct belonging to the Romagna waterworks

Realizing the “Romagna Waterworks – 4Lsub2P2 – doubling of the duct Russi – Lugo-Cotignola deviation” – preliminary design, final design and safety coordination during the design phase.

The planned operations are the doubling of the existing line between the Russi cabin and the deviation to Lugo and Cotignola, by installing a new DN600 steel pipe of length over 7.8 km, suitable to increase the supply flow-rates from the Standiana pumping station.

The project aims to permit the following:

• Full cover of needs of all consumers from Faenza to Alfonsine, with a wide possibility of homogeneously mixing the resources from the Ridracoli reservoir and from the Standiana plant.

• A major distribution potential, in order to meet future increased demands from consumers.

• The possibility to guarantee the water supply to the town of Faenza with the resource produced at Standiana plant.

• The possibility to transfer part of the resource from the Ridracoli reservoir to the Standiana node.

• A remarkable reduction of energy consumption at the pumping station from the Standiana system, to supply the line towards Russi and the Lugo area.
