Background

Snam S.p.A. is a company operating in the transportation, storage and regasification of methane. Snam was established on October 30, 1941 with participation of Ente Nazionale Metano (Agip), Regie Terme di Salsomaggiore and Società Anonima Utilizzazione e Ricerca Gas Idrocarburati (SURGI). The goals were the construction of methane pipelines, and the distribution and sale of gas.

The Group’s Work

In 1995, work began on the SNAM degasser at the Portovenere plant, specifically in the Gulf of Poets. The Migliaccio Group participated in the construction of the two silos designed to change the gas state from gas to liquid and vice versa. On site there were 4 pumps, two of which were from the Group, one Putzmeistere a 33mt Cifa working simultaneously so as to ensure uniform construction of the silos. The concrete was provided by the Calcestruzzi S.p.a.

Overall, pumping work on the silos took about 8 months.
