Construction of the Line C San Giovanni station in Rome

摘要

The construction of Rome’s Line C San Giovanni station required adopting building techniques suitable for responding to the numerous problems concerning geology, archaeology, public utilities and surrounding buildings. The procedures for building this station were strongly constrained by what emerged unexpectedly at the start of the work sites: the presence of archaeological findings down to a depth of 18 m below ground level.rnThese findings required an overall revision of the Line C’s design in the historic centre of the city of Rome, starting from the San Giovanni station, to safeguard archaeologically sensitive strata.
