On February 23, TELT celebrates its first 10 years and, to mark this important milestone, the binational company entrusted by Italy and France with the construction of the cross-border section of the Lyon-Turin is adding a symbol to its logo.
The colors of the two countries’ flags blend with TELT’s green in a circular shape that recalls the rotary movement of a TBM, while the various segments represent the modular structure of the lining segments, the concrete elements that cover the Mont Cenis base tunnel. A label that will accompany many of TELT’s events throughout 2025.
10 years of challenges
In these ten years, TELT has faced key moments for the progress of the project, which today is a ‘single’ construction site:
- All civil works for the construction of the base tunnel are underway
- All access adits have been completed
- A quarter of the tunnels excavated out of the 164 km planned, including nearly 16 km of the base tunnel
- Over 2,800 people at work
- 2,000 companies on the white list
- €2.3 billion of production by 2024
The challenges that TELT has overcome since 2015 provide momentum for the more intense and complex ones that, in the coming years, will lead to the commissioning of the Mont Cenis base tunnel, which today stands as the longest underground railway infrastructure ever conceived.
