Terna and E-Distribuzione Together for the Safety of the Electricity Grid on the Amalfi Coast TERNA AND E-DISTRIBUZIONE TOGETHER FOR THE SAFETY OF THE ELECTRICITY GRID ON THE AMALFI COAST The work necessary to ensure the safety of the electricity grid in the municipalities of Agerola, Pimonte, Amalfi, Atrani, Conca dei Marini, Furore, Minori, Positano, Praiano, Ravello and Scala was completed in 10 days Rome, 25 February 2021 - It only took 10 days to complete the work that involved Terna and E- Distribuzione in the extraordinary maintenance work on the 60 kV power line connecting the Primary cabin in Lettere and the one in Agerola that provides electricity to the Amalfi Coast and is necessary to guarantee continuity and safety of the electricity grids in the municipalities of Agerola, Pimonte, Amalfi, Atrani, Conca dei Marini, Furore, Minori, Positano, Praiano, Ravello and Scala. The works, which involved a total of approximately 80 technical and operational resources, ended with the complete replacement of equipment (including the installation of anti-salt insulators) and of the conductors (which date back 50 years), as well as the shield wire along the 13 km of the power line. In order to guarantee continuity of service to the public while the work was being completed, Terna and E-Distribuzione implemented an emergency plan that envisaged the used of approximately 70 generators of different sizes. Furthermore, thanks to 24 hour monitoring of the territory by E- Distribuzione and surveillance of the generators, it was possible to minimise the impact on customers. To limit the amount of time that the construction site would be operational, two companies were used who worked on different sections at the same time. Taking into consideration the particular topography of the area, the use of a helicopter to transport needed materials and equipment was essential to ensure that the work was completed quickly. This also made it possible to not interrupt traffic and to preserve the landscape because it was not necessary to build roads inside of the Parco dei Monti Lattari. The works that were just finished can be considered one of a kind. In fact, this was the first time in the last 50 years that it was necessary to make high-voltage unavailable for several days on the 60 kV Agerola-Lettere power line. This is an important outcome, made possible thanks to the synergy between the two companies, the Prefectures of Naples and Salerno and the municipalities involved. .

  • Sintesi Analisi Comparativa Della Soluzione Alternativa Ai Progetti Di
    SCHEDA ANALISI COMPARATIVA AUSINO Sintesi analisi comparativa della soluzione alternativa ai progetti di realizzazione 1 dei depuratori in Costiera Amalfitana a servizio dei Comuni di Maiori, Minori, Ravello, Atrani, Scala e Tramonti con il collettamento dei reflui al depuratore consortile di Salerno L’Ausino servizi idrici integrati ha proposto alla Provincia di Salerno una soluzione alternativa ai progetti di realizzazione dei depuratori in Costiera Amalfitana a servizio dei Comuni di Maiori, Minori, Ravello, Atrani, Scala e in più Tramonti con il collettamento dei reflui al depuratore consortile di Salerno che appare essere più sostenibile e meno aggressiva per il territorio. La soluzione analizzata è rappresentata essenzialmente da una condotta sottomarina di adduzione, della lunghezza di 18,1 km circa, che consentirebbe di evitare di realizzare i due nuovi impianti di depurazione: Maiori-Minori (27.000 ab.eq.) e Ravello-Atrani-Scala (11.500 ab.eq.) oltre al futuro e necessario potenziamento di un terzo impianto, ovvero quello di Tramonti (7.000 ab.eq). Il confronto tra le due alternative, ambedue compatibili con le normative vigenti, è stato sviluppato tenendo conto dei seguenti aspetti: Economici: la condotta sottomarina di adduzione con le relative opere a terra, trova capienza nelle somme destinate ai progetti delle nuove realizzazioni previste (impianti di Maiori-Minori e RavelloAtrani-Scala) e risulta di ben più facile realizzazione e gestione. Tempi di attuazione: la posa di una condotta sottomarina DN560 in PE per circa 18,1 km, tra l’attuale stazione di pompaggio in Maiori e l’area dell’impianto di depurazione di Salerno, (compresa tra le foci del torrente Fuorni e del fiume Picentino), richiede un tempo di realizzazione brevissimo, pari a circa 3 mesi di lavoro, ben inferiori a qualunque altra soluzione, finanche delle stesse opere a terra necessarie per collegare tutti i comuni serviti.

Most hotels and villas are open from March/April through October/November. The towns on the water with beaches include Amalfi, Atrani, Cetara, Furore, Maiori, Minori, Praiano, Positano, and Vietri sul Mare. Towns higher up on the cliffs include Agerola, Ravello, Scala, and Tramonti. Amalfi Coast is crossed by Strada Statale 163 Amalfitana (world-famous known as Amalfi Drive), a 50km (30 miles) stretch of road from north to south. If we take the two entrance points to the Amalfi Coast with Sorrento in the north and Salerno in the south, the road goes through the towns in this order: Positano | Praiano | Amalfi | Atrani | Minori | Maiori | Cetara | Vietri Sul Mare It's important to know the order as that would make exploring the towns a bit easier. The Sorrento to Salerno direction is more preferrable as, by being in the right lane, you are right next to the cliffs with no opposing traffic to block your view. There are no trains serving the Amalfi Coast. HOTELS selection Amalfi à POSITANO Coast www.italycreative.it Spread between four villas, each of the suites offers a unique blend of carefree comfort and careful attention to detail.
