A consortium of Italian companies , led by Rocksoil , has won the tender worth over 12 million euros to carry out the technical and economic pre-feasibility study of the Einstein Telescope , the future gravitational wave detector, which Italy has candidate to host in Sardinia.

After a careful selection, in fact, the winner of the main tender of the Pnrr Etic (Einstein Telescope Infrastructure Consortium) project has been identified .

«Given the design complexity of the infrastructure, and the requirements imposed by the scientific community, the study will have to investigate multiple aspects - explains Gaetano Schillaci, sole manager of the procedure -. Among these, the geology of the chosen area, the optimal location and depth of the observatory vertices in both investigated configurations, the excavation and construction techniques, the management of materials, the environmental impact and finally the costs. In the 18 months expected for the completion of the study we will also have continuous interaction with the Italian and international scientific community of Einstein Telescope."

The consortium is made up of Rocksoil spa , leader in the design of underground works with high technological content, Leonardo European Consortium for engineering and architecture, Ferro energia srl, Criteria srl, Inar srl, Gdp Geomin srl, Geotec spa .
