In Brittany, in the coastal department of Morbihan, work has begun on the most demanding of the railway renewal sites currently being carried out by GCF in France. As lead company of the consortium with CLMTP and Groupe Pigeon, GCF France has deployed its French subsidiaries ETMF, Prestafer and Delcourt Rail on the project.

Innovation takes centre stage at InnoTrans 2026

“Global mobility – shaping projects and growth opportunities” is the official opening theme of InnoTrans 2026.
Thirty years after its debut, this year the major railway event, a global showcase for innovation, will bring together at the Berlin Exhibition Grounds from 22 to 25 September the most significant developments and trends in the international rail transport and mobility sector. GCF will once again be present with its own exhibition stand (Hall 26B, Stand 315).

GCF's contribution to the new sustainable tramway line

A concrete platform built with millimetric precision, a monorail guidance system, electric traction installations and power substations designed as a single integrated system. This is the technological core of Lot 2 of the new SIR2 tramway line in Padua, where GCF SpA carried out the specialist works that will enable the operation of the future infrastructure. A PNRR-funded project that, by the end of July, had achieved all the targets set by the European Union to qualify for funding.

The launch of the new Ponte al Pino road overpass in the Florence railway hub marked the successful completion of one of the most complex engineering operations carried out in the Tuscan capital in recent years.

A Smart Diagnostic System for the Railway of the Future

The railway of the future depends on the ability to turn data into decisions. This is the vision behind the project awarded by Rete Ferroviaria Italiana (RFI) to GCF – Generale Costruzioni Ferroviarie, lead partner of a consortium bringing together industrial, scientific and academic expertise. The objective is to develop an advanced analytical system designed to support the maintenance and diagnostics of Italy's national railway infrastructure.

Priority PNRR works on the Valle Brembana line completed

Final finishing activities are underway on the construction site of the new T2 Bergamo–Villa d'Almè light rail line. Following the completion of the main infrastructure works on 30 June, fully in compliance with the deadlines set by Italy's National Recovery and Resilience Plan (PNRR), the project has now entered its final phase as required by ministerial provisions: a 60-day period dedicated to completing the remaining works, carrying out technical testing and pre-revenue service trials ahead of the line entering operation by the end of the year.

Monitoring insulated rail joints with optical fibre in Sheffield

Research conducted by GCF – Generale Costruzioni Ferroviarie on railway infrastructure monitoring will be presented at the 9th World Conference on Structural Control and Monitoring (9WCSCM), to be held from 19 to 22 July 2026 at the University of Sheffield, United Kingdom. At the heart of the international conference will be the scientific paper "A Field-Based Damage Index for Insulated Rail Joints Using FBG Extensometers", developed by GCF in collaboration with the Department of Mechanical Engineering of Politecnico di Milano.

Railway renewal project in the Grand Est region

GCF France has returned to the Grand Est region where, approximately one year after its previous intervention, it is once again working on Line 110 000 to renew further sections between the railway stations of Molsheim (Bas-Rhin department) and Saales, in Haute-Savoie (Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region).

Technology, innovation and sustainability along 60 km of railway

With the introduction of the first electric trains into service, the Val Venosta Railway is entering a new era for rail mobility in South Tyrol, driven by sustainability and efficiency. This milestone has been made possible by the completion of the complex railway electrification works, to which GCF S.p.A., together with INEO Scle Ferroviaire, contributed through the construction of the overhead contact line and the main traction power systems.
