University of Florida Students Visit Venice Rail Link Project


Last week, we had the pleasure of welcoming 20 students from the University of Florida to our Venice job site, as part of their study tour across Italy.

The group was already familiar with Rizzani de Eccher through the iconic I-395 bridge project in Miami — one of our most significant works in the U.S. — and showed great interest in learning more about our work in Italy.

During their visit to the Venice Airport Rail Link site — another key infrastructure project we’re proud to be delivering — the students stood out for their diligence, technical curiosity, and well-prepared questions, particularly around project design and site operations.

They met our Project Director and HSE Manager, joined a presentation on Rizzani de Eccher and the project itself, and toured the site to see progress firsthand.

Commissioned by RFI (Rete Ferroviaria Italiana), the project involves the design and construction of an approx. 8 km double-track railway, including 3.4 km of tunnel, directly connecting the Venice–Trieste line to Marco Polo Airport via a new underground station.

We’re proud to shape the future of sustainable mobility — and even more proud to share this journey with the next generation of engineers.
