Ansaldo STS, which was contracted by the Genoa local authority in Italy as a concession holder to design and build the region's metro, will be a key player in the inaugural celebrations for the extension of the new line, according to a company press release. The line extends to Brignole station, crossing the Bisagno waterway and continuing along a track that will be considered for a future extension. Ansaldo was responsible for the project's civilian work (tunnels, shafts, surface work and finishing), and technological work (signaling, telecommunications, energy supply, elevators, escalators, fire safety systems, ventilation and air conditioning).
