Consorzio Venezia Nuova Installs the Last of MOSE's 78 Flood Gates
- The last of MOSE's 78 gates was put in place on 30 January 2019, after groundbreaking on 14 May 2003[4]
- Fagioli was engaged by Consorzio Venezia Nuova in 2012 for the Lido inlet, laying its first mobile walls in 2013[1][2]
- It built an 800-tonne gantry crane to lay the 58 gates of the deeper Malamocco and Chioggia inlets 14 m underwater, each weighing 400-450 t[1]
- The 78 gates sit in four rows: 21 and 20 at Lido, 19 at Malamocco and 18 at Chioggia, raised with compressed air[4]
- The first full test on 10 July 2020 was followed by first use against a real high tide on 3 October 2020[4]
- Cost is about EUR 5.5 billion, EUR 1.3 billion over projections, and in 2014 35 people were arrested on corruption charges[1][4]
- Two spare gates per inlet allow removal for maintenance, which Fagioli does with its gantry launching system[1][3]
