Description
Astaldi’s first experience in Peru involved construction of the Lima light rail at the start of the 1990s – a project partly financed by Italian funding. The project involved the construction of a light rail with a ground-level route. Astaldi, which was represented at that time by the subsidiary R.I.C., obtained the subcontract to supply and lay the superstructure for Phase 1 of the project: construction of 20 kilometres of running line and an additional five kilometres of railway as a “service line”, for an overall contract value of approximately 10 billion Italian lire.
