This morning the Minister of Defense Elisabetta Trenta, accompanied by the Army Chief of Staff, General Salvatore Farina, visited the newly renovated accommodations in some barracks of the "Cecchignola" Military City aimed at improving the housing conditions of the personnel employed in the “Safe Roads” operation in Rome.
Minister Trenta, during the meeting with the military and civil personnel of the District Command, stressed that "The intervention is part of the implementation of the broader and ambitious" Grandi Infrastrutture - Barracks "study, presented by the Army General Staff and wanted by the Defense to make available to the staff new, efficient, functional, fully responsive infrastructures to current regulations, including training areas, housing poles for military personnel and related families and sports facilities and recreational partners also open to the community ".
The works, carried out by the Operational Department of the Infrastructural Engineering Department (ROGI), saw the implementation of maintenance work on some buildings that allowed to increase the accommodation capacity with additional 460 beds. This intervention follows those already implemented in recent months in Rome, Milan and Cesana Torinese (TO) that have allowed the modernization of over 100 housing.
These measures are part of the implementation of the programmatic guidelines illustrated by General Farina to the Defense Committees of the Chamber and Senate, and in particular as regards the aspects related to the well-being and safety of personnel who can operate and live in modern and sustainable infrastructures. In this context, preparatory activities were also launched for the implementation of some pilot projects in Northern, Central and Southern Italy.
The launch of this innovative and modern studio, with a low financial impact as it is a long-term plan and designed to renovate an infrastructure park made up of properties built over 70 years, will allow us to intervene decisively and without delay by starting a process " virtuous "that allows you to have a completely renewed infrastructure park with consequent reduced maintenance costs, high energy efficiency and eco-sustainable materials. The project, moreover, is cost-effective from an economic point of view, also in relation to the containment, in perspective, of the operating costs and benefits for the staff involved in the use of higher quality standards.
