Politecnica is the leading company of the designers JV which drafted the Feasibility Study for the Flood protection and hydraulic risk management plan of the town of Olbia. The new proposal, revising and amending the existing Piano Mancini, was unanimously approved by Olbia Town Council on February 9 2018: it offers three options, the best one of which features a flood way 11 km long, partially running into the tunnel, and two detention basins. Such solution, in the occurrence of extreme events, reduces to a third the current volume of water entering the city, in the aim at requalifying – environmentally and human friendly- the town rivers and banks, proposing a civil use that in some cases is even navigable.
