Barriere stradali da Sma Road Safety per quattro strade statali siciliane
L’azienda campana si è aggiudicata una commessa da 1,2 milioni da Anas: fornirà 61 attenuatori d’urto
Campana-based SMA Road Safety, led by Roberto Impero, has been awarded a new contract to improve safety on four Sicilian state roads using their own patented frontal impact attenuators. The project, requested by ANAS Spa – Sicily's Territorial Structure AGR-CT, involved four regional mobility corridors: State Highway 117bis "Centrale Sicula", SS 626 "della Valle del Salso", SS 640dir "Raccordo di Pietraperzia" and SS 115 "Sud Occidentale Sicula".
A total of 61 attenuators, valued at over €1,200,000 for provision and installation, were supplied. The compact Aries system, entirely designed and manufactured in Caserta by SMA, was chosen for the project. The devices, already assembled, can be restored post-impact by simply replacing the damaged components, thereby minimizing installation and maintenance time and costs, ultimately ensuring safer roads.
The intervention was carried out with the collaboration of Sion Srl technicians, in coordination with the Anas Works Directorate and with the support of SMA Road Safety's technical staff. SMA Road Safety CEO Roberto Impero stated, "The true effectiveness of an impact attenuator is measured not only by its technical characteristics, but by its ability to fit correctly into the context in which it operates.
In the Sicilian project, we tackled diverse situations, offering a compact solution and various anchoring possibilities. It is this adaptability that allows this safety technology to become a truly applicable solution for infrastructure." The Marcianise-based company reported €15.7 million in revenue for 2025 and employed 32 people.
Part of the Industry Ams group founded in 1969 by Pasquale Impero, SMA Road Safety is internationally recognized for innovations in safety devices such as frontal impact attenuators, traffic monitoring systems, barrier protection, emergency islands, and side barriers. The company has installed road barriers on the A1 Motorway, the Dolomites, the new Genoa Bridge, and has also worked abroad, including in Hong Kong, Valencia, Sheikh Al Jaber Causeway, the 4th longest maritime bridge in Kuwait Bay, Ontario's Thorold tunnel, and Dubai's Sheikh Zayed Road.
