Incide Engineering, as principal designer, was awarded, together with RTI I.C.I. SOC. COOP A.R.L., the assignment for the design and execution of works for the construction of a new bus depot and two buildings destined for workshop and offices for local public transport in the Municipality of Monfalcone (GO). The work, commissioned by the Azienda Provinciale Trasporti APT Gorizia, represents a strategic intervention for the strengthening of the region’s transport infrastructure.
An integrated public transport project
The intervention area is located between the road embankment of Via Consiglio d’Europa and the Timavo River dock. The master plan foresees the construction of a modern and functional infrastructure, destined to host the bus parking and spaces for public transport activities. In particular, two new prefabricated buildings are to be built, one for offices and the other for a workshop.
Functional and modern offices for efficient service management
The prefabricated building, with a beam and pillar structure, will house operational offices, vehicle insurance, debt collection, sanctions, meeting rooms and service areas for staff and drivers, including changing rooms, toilets and a refreshment area. With a covered area of 474 square metres and a height of 4.45 m, it will be built on reinforced concrete plinth foundations on truncated piles. The ventilated attic with an air gap of at least 20 cm will guarantee comfort and compliance with health and hygiene regulations (L.R. 44/85). The perimeter walls will be made of insulated prefabricated panels, with a façade in the client’s colours. Mechanical systems and photovoltaic panels will be installed on the roof, with a safety system in compliance with R.L. 24/2015.
A technological workshop for optimal vehicle maintenance
The machine building, with a covered area of 638 square metres, will comprise the maintenance area, washing and technical rooms on the ground floor, while the first floor will house offices, changing rooms, a refreshment room and service rooms. The operations area will be double height to allow access and maintenance of buses. The building, prefabricated with beams and pillars, will have reinforced concrete plinth foundations on truncated piles. Structural provision is made for a future mezzanine for storage use. The ventilated floor in the office areas and the insulated industrial flooring in the workshop will improve working comfort. The infill will be in insulated prefabricated panels, with a façade inspired by the client’s colours. Mechanical and photovoltaic systems will be installed on the roof, with a safety system in compliance with Regional Law 24/2015.
Sustainable mobility: hydrogen and photovoltaics for reduced environmental impact
One of the most innovative elements of the project is the construction of a hydrogen production and storage facility, which will be used both for refuelling buses and for the external road network. The plant, which will occupy an area of approximately 3,200 square metres, represents a significant step towards sustainable, low-emission mobility.
To support the energy system, a photovoltaic system will be installed over an area of approximately 16,000 square metres, capable of powering both hydrogen production and the complex’s various electrical consumers, including external lighting and buildings. This solution reflects Incide’s approach to integrating energy-efficient technologies into its projects.
Innovation and sustainability at the service of the territory
The new complex represents an evolution of public transport infrastructure, with a focus on environmental sustainability and operational efficiency. Thanks to its experience in strategic infrastructure projects, Incide Engineering will contribute to the realisation of an innovative work, capable of responding to the current and future needs of the territory.
