Speed Train Service Between North Texas, the Brazos Valley and Greater Houston
FOR TEXAS CENTRAL INTERNAL USE ONLY TRANSFORMING TRAVEL IN TEXAS Assessing passenger demand for high-speed train service between North Texas, the Brazos Valley and Greater Houston An updated analysis of consumer demand and ridership FOR TEXASMARKETING CENTRAL INTERNALCONTENT USE ONLY ABOUT THE PROJECT The design, construction, finance and operation of a new high-speed passenger train line connecting Houston and North Texas has been under development since 2002. This market was chosen as the most attractive after reviewing 97 pairs of cities and their potential for commercial success. The project expects to begin construction after federal permits are granted and financial close is achieved, at the earliest the end of 2019. The train will enable passengers to travel between Houston and North Texas in 90 minutes, including an intermediary stop in the Brazos Valley. This transformational project will provide a safe, productive, fast and reliable choice for travelers between the country’s fourth and fifth largest economies. These metropolitan regions collectively produce 6% of US GDP, and contain close to 50% of Texas’ population and 5% of our national population. Connecting these cities via high-speed train will not only service an existing travel market that is only increasing in size, but will create a super economy larger than that of Spain or Mexico. The location of this project is well suited in that Texas is the second largest state economy in the US and is growing at historic rates. With the sustained yearly population increase, the need for infrastructure is critical to preserve the future economic vitality of the State. -
Two Desalination Contracts in Oman for Combined $330M One Plant to Be Bigge
PRESS RELEASE NEW WEBUILD WIN IN PLANT CONSTRUCTION: TWO DESALINATION CONTRACTS IN OMAN FOR COMBINED $330M ONE PLANT TO BE BIGGEST IN OMAN AS SULTANATE SEEKS SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT MILAN, November 20, 2020 – Fisia Italimpianti, a unit of the Webuild Group, has won two engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) contracts worth a combined total of about $330 million for two desalination plants in Oman. Located on the coast in the Gulf of Oman north of Muscat, the plants will serve residents living near the capital. The contracts, commissioned by the Oman Power and Water Procurement Company (OPWP), will have Fisia Italimpianti and its joint-venture partner GS Inima Environment build plants that use the reverse osmosis process to desalinate water from the sea. The first, Ghubrah 3 IWP, will have a production capacity of 300,000 cubic metres of water a day, while the second, Barka 5 IWP, will produce 100,000 cubic metres a day. Both projects are expected to take three years to complete, with Ghubrah becoming the biggest in the sultanate. Fisia Italimpianti has a 50% stake in both joint-ventures. The Barka 5 and Ghubrah 3 plants will increase the Group’s presence in Oman as it helps the sultanate reach its goals of sustainable development, confronting the challenge of water scarcity posed by a desert climate. Fisia Italimpianti entered Oman in 2017 with the Salalah project, a desalination plant that also uses the reverse osmosis process to produce 113,500 cubic metres a day of potable water for the city of the same name on the southwestern coast. -
16 Million People Travel Between Houston and North
MARKETING CONTENT TRANSFORMING TRAVEL IN TEXAS Assessing passenger demand for high-speed train service between North Texas, the Brazos Valley and Greater Houston 1 MARKETING CONTENT ABOUT THE PROJECT The design, construction, finance and operation of a new high-speed passenger train line connecting Hous- ton and North Texas has been under development for five years. The project expects to begin construction in 2018, and will enable passengers to travel between Houston and North Texas in 90 minutes, including a stop in the Brazos Valley. This transformational project will provide a safe, productive, fast and reliable choice for travelers between Texas’ two largest economic hubs, using proven, world-class technology. The increased mobility between two of the fastest growing metropolitan areas in the US made possible by the Texas Bullet Train will deliver substantial and long-lasting benefits to both the state and local economies. Texans will have a safe, productive and reliable choice for travel between Houston, the Brazos Valley and North Texas. ABOUT THE STUDY In January 2016, Texas Central appointed L.E.K. Consulting to conduct a study exploring the opportunity for a high-speed train service in Texas and the benefits it could bring to Texans. L.E.K. has developed a commercially-driven, technology-enabled forecast for passenger demand including: • Estimating the market size and growth rate for travel between the two metropolitan areas; • Undertaking primary market research with input from more than 2,000 Texans to understand local travel habits and determine the Texas Bullet Train’s potential share of the travel market; and • Building a robust and highly granular forecasting model to predict future passenger demand under a range of assumptions and different scenarios. -

PRESS RELEASE WEBUILD (SALINI IMPREGILO) to WORK on €220M CONTRACT for TURIN-LYON HIGH-SPEED RAILWAY BASE TUNNEL MILAN, July 1
PRESS RELEASE WEBUILD (SALINI IMPREGILO) TO WORK ON €220M CONTRACT FOR TURIN-LYON HIGH-SPEED RAILWAY BASE TUNNEL MILAN, July 10, 2020 – Webuild, formerly Salini Impregilo, and its partners have won a €220-million contract to help develop the base tunnel between Turin and Lyon, a major infrastructure project that is part of an ambitious European Union initiative of sustainable mobility to connect the continent’s railway networks and increase the transport of people and goods on rail rather than road. The Lot 5A contract, commissioned by Tunnel Euralpin Lyon Turin (TELT), is the latest acknowledgement of Webuild’s global leadership in tunnelling and the construction of major high-speed railways that contribute to the sustainable development of transport links across regions. Webuild will develop the project with joint- venture partners Vinci Construction Grands Projets, Dodin Campenon Bernard, VINCI Construction France and Bergteamet. Webuild has a 33% stake. Located at the center of the planned 57.5-kilometre base tunnel between the train stations of Susa in Italy and Saint-Jean-de-Maurienne in France, the contract consists of preparatory works for the future safety site at Modane. The excavations will create a logistics hub 500 metres below ground ahead of the drilling of 18 kilometres of tunnel under the Ambin Massif in the direction of Italy. It comprises the excavation of four shafts each 500 metres deep at Avrieux, using the raise-boring method for safety, speed and cost. The contract also entails the excavation by the conventional method with the use of explosives of tunnels, chambers and seven caverns - measuring up to 22 metres in height and 23 metres in width - at the base of the existing decline at Villarodin Bourget Modane. -
