The new Macerata Università railway station (a project worth 1.65 million euro, part of a wider 110 million electrification project involving the entire Civitanova Marche Albacina line) was designed to change the city’s life and that of nearly 5.000 students from the Bertelli campus, which until now was only accessible by car. The new station has a new 150m platform protected by a canopy. It also has a tactile path for the blind, self service ticket tellers, LED lighting, cctv systems and a PA system. The new electrified line will transform the local line into a sort of surface metro connecting the Vergini district with the city centre. With this latest project, the Marche Region will become one of Italy’s most electrified regions, with a quota of 92%. For this project, Energy Rethink was in charge of the mechanical, electrical and special systems’ design.
