HERA spa entrusts Cefla with the management of water networks in Modena and Imola-Ravenna

A leading player in the plant engineering sector in Italy for more than 90 years, Cefla today invests in multi-utilities and acquires two major contracts with Hera spa, for the construction and management of integrated water cycle networks.

Cefla was recently awarded 2 important contracts with Hera spa and Inrete Distribuzione Energia, a company of the Hera group, for emergency services, extraordinary maintenance, new constructions and connection of water, sewer and gas networks for the Modena area and the Imola-Ravenna area, the latter together with Fabbri Costruzioni S.r.l.

A duty and an opportunity.

For several years Cefla has been involved in the construction and management of electrical networks (low, medium, high voltage), water and sewage networks, gas networks, and district heating, to support multiservice companies in supplying light, water, and heat to the population. Today, safeguarding primary resources is increasingly becoming an act of responsibility, even more so for those working in this field, and to do this it is essential to protect and make distribution networks increasingly efficient, also in line with European Union strategies and global goals related to sustainability.

Digital management.

Digitization is changing our lifestyles in every sphere. Computerization is the only possible path to efficient management. In order to create fast and secure processes, Cefla has from the beginning set up processes that automate field activities, taking care of the customer's infrastructure.

"Working closely with the customer, we have the opportunity to understand his priorities and to propose innovative solutions that can be supportive with a view to optimization and the generation of ever greater efficiencies. In this regard, alongside the day-to-day work of network management and development, we now make use of advanced platforms that, through the integration of technologies such as IOT (field-based sensing) and AI, return the most reliable information to optimize to the maximum what you want to manage, potentially decreasing waste of energy, water, or reducing CO2 emissions."

Massimo Milani, Managing Director BU Engineering at Cefla

"Cefla aims to stimulate an increasingly active discussion on issues related to the preservation of primary goods, which allow us to live peacefully and which we too often take for granted. We are proud that Hera spa and Inrete have approached us, confirming a 4-year partnership (plus another 2 renewables); our commitment will certainly be aimed at improving the efficiency of the networks, including intervening, where possible, with a preventive maintenance approach."
