Webuild has become the contractor of choice for the infrastructure projects the world most needs but often finds hardest to build. In September, the Italian construction firm completed Africa's largest hydropower dam, a $5 billion project 14 years in the making that is designed to double Ethiopia's energy production and supply surplus power across East Africa.Webuild has also helped advance modern construction with new tunneling methods that cut through waterlogged ground, machines that dig tunnels using less energy, and automated factories that mass-produce the large concrete rings lining underground railways and water systems. Last year it broke through the Alps to connect Italy and Austria with the Brenner Base Tunnel, which is set to become the world's longest underground railway.
