Auma actuators to protect the Venetian Lagoon

摘要

In One of Auma's most prestigious flood defence projects, and the largest order to date for its Generation.2 product series, almost 1,000 modular electric actuators are being installed in a major scheme to protect the Venetian Lagoon in Italy. The high technology structure, called Mose, is in an advanced stage of implementation. Forming part of a major plan for the physical and environmental restoration of Venice's entire Lagoon basin, Mose links the defence of the City with the architectural heritage of historic buildings and the Lagoon's ecosystem. Protection from high waters, and recovery of the Lagoon's resources, are incorporated into the scheme. The measures to safeguard the Lagoon are being implemented as part of an integrated and systemic programme by the Consorzio Venezia Nuova, on behalf of the Italian State (Ministry of Infrastructure and Transport - Venice Water Authority).
