Expansion,
innovation, technology.

The management strategy adopted by LOTRAS has always focused on innovation and the quality of the services offered, representing a strong point in terms of competitiveness within the sector. The experience acquired in all areas of logistics, together with the care for the territory and its potential in relation to the development of industrial customers already present in the area, has led to the implementation of a new investment plan for the provision of services and solutions designed to meet customer needs. The new project will help to ensure that the best possible use is made of the whole Logistics Platform in Foggia, thus confirming its position at the forefront of the sector, and will ensure new requests can be met from abroad.

Automation
at the forefront
of logistic processes.

LOTRAS has set itself the objective of further developing rail transport within the ASI industrial area of Incoronata, strengthening standard services for the handling and management of products within numerous goods categories, currently anachronistically transported solely by road.

As the main functional infrastructure for goods from Apulia, the ASI Incoronata railway yard is the only opportunity that large production companies have to use the rail network.

The purpose of the project is to create strong technological innovation in the logistics sector and it is integrated with activities already performed by the company and can therefore benefit from means of transport that are already operational. The logistics project has a strong capacity for automation, which is useful for making goods distribution more streamlined and efficient and is in complete harmony with the various Territorial Development Programs.

The new
investment plan
for greater services.

Development of the railway area includes a series of new buildings presiding over the large yards, the boundaries of which are defined by the tracks, where along a stretch of more than a kilometre a series of buildings can be seen, standing out on the flat landscape. A multipurpose building will be built close to where the national and private rail networks meet, partially dedicated to the repair of wagons and at the same time housing offices, control towers and workshops. The running rail of the tracks is therefore a link leading from this construction to the second building, a multi-faceted shelter, partially walled along the north side; a sort of open hangar for goods trains housed in a covered area of over 1200 m² including light volumes in the framework, defiled by climbing plants. Continuing along the yards there are more buildings and technical areas, running parallel to branches of tracks ending in the lee of the terminal, a true territorial hub: the building has the appearance of a large, permeable plate, open on all sides and distinguished by the multitude of shapes and variety of architectural languages.

Territorial development
and respect for the
environment

Every area of the terminal, from the automated surface to the refrigerated depot and the offices, has its own identity, is independent and yet at the same time is in perfect harmony with the entire complex. Lastly, a building of more than 2,000 m² presents itself as the headquarters area with a facade that is both normal and unprecedented, where the usual temporary conditions of a scaffolding structure here take on the nature of a permanent green facade. The regular rhythm of the arches, together with the light metal structure, the net covering it and the climbing plants make this vertical element a real environmental diaphragm capable of lowering the temperatures and associating with the Lotras yard a clear image connected with the concepts of territorial development and care for the environment: a plan of action as ambitious and complex as it is necessary and strategic for the territory of Apulia and Italy.
