TASK:
GESAC, the management company at Capodichino, wanted to expand the southern side of Taxiway A, and Air Alliance was appointed to carry out the detailed design of the new northern apron that would follow from it. The work covers a fully equipped four-stand Code C apron complete with pavement, storm water drainage and electrical network, together with four service roads — two of which give access to a new helicopter apron forming part of a separate project. Upgraded Code C infrastructure on entirely new pavements secures a long period of trouble-free growth for Naples.
