Fast Trade for the Malamocco Gate

The new Malamocco gate of the MOSE project, the system of mobile barriers designed to protect the city of Venice from high tides, features controlled-tension HV En14399-4 bolts from the Tecnosix range.
Andrea Delfino, Structural Bolts Division Manager at Fast Trade – Fixing business, explains: «We contributed to constructing the new seaward gate of the navigation lock at the Malamocco inlet. This gate, complete with electromechanical systems and measuring 54 m x 16 m x 7 m, requires installing a rail-based movement system to be positioned on the seabed using a submerged bell, allowing dry operations at a depth of 14 meters».
The design and construction complexity do not intimidate the Fast Trade team, which is accustomed to working on large and complex structures.
