We provide design and engineering services for all types of roads and motorways.
Our teams have experience of designing in accordance with various international codes.

Urban Infrastructures / Real estate, logistics

The creation of transport hubs is accompanied by more global urban projects including new urban functions, whether residential, tertiary, retail or service. Accompanying urban development therefore requires a multi-disciplinary and comprehensive approach.
This is why SYSTRA has integrated teams of architects, town planners, landscape architects, ecologists, civil engineering, hydraulic engineering, engineering structures, building, environmental and biodiversity experts, acousticians, as well as furniture and signage designers, and also acts as a land operator.

Mining

Our role is to improve railway efficiency to maximise mine profitability. Our expertise in railway engineering and technical services for the mining industry originates from experience acquired with major mining companies worldwide, thanks to our knowledge of heavy rail standards and practices. We provide reliable and cost-effective solutions during every stage of a project cycle, from preliminary planning to ongoing operations.

Airports, Ports and marine

As an engineering company, SYSTRA supports its clients in all transport infrastructure projects, including airports and ports.
Our network of experts, located in all regions of the world, can help you to design and organise airport terminals, model port terminals, carry out environmental studies or provide building expertise.

Bologna welcomes its first tram

15 October 2026

The first tram has arrived in Bologna, Italy marking another important step towards the launch of the city’s new tramway network, scheduled to open in 2027. The network will have 4 lines.

Bologna welcomes its first tram

Produced by Spanish manufacturer CAF, the vehicle reached the Borgo Panigale depot on 8 September and will now undergo the testing and commissioning activities required before entering passenger service.

SYSTRA Italy, together with partner Architecna Engineering s.r.l., has played a prominent role in this project since 2020. Our contribution has focused on the project’s design, engineering, and technical development, including the tram infrastructure itself, its integration into Bologna’s existing urban fabric, route planning, system engineering, and the coordination of technical solutions required for implementation.

After being awarded the Preliminary Design of the Red Line, SYSTRA Italy won an optional assignment for the Final Design of the same line and Design studies for the Green Line. Both projects included construction and quality supervision and were completed one month ahead of schedule. A further contract was awarded for services for the Blue Line.
