Other notable applications include waterproofing for the strategic public work of an underground tunnel connecting the Abruzzo Regional Citadel to the L’Aquila bus terminal, a hub for intercity connections to over 22 cities in Italy, including Naples and Rome, and ensuring the structural integrity of Y-40, the world’s deepest thermal pool.
