OUR STORY
A surveyor by training and an expert in bitumen and asphalt mixes, he has been on the family company's sites since he was 17, gaining "on the road" experience that allowed him to be an integral part of the group's development over the last 25 years in the field of major public works within the Rainone family, bringing together capital, people, equipment, and experience into Unimpresa S.p.A.. While in the 1990s the family company built roads and bridges in Pakistan, the Arab Emirates, and Latin America, for ten years Enrico oversaw SOCOB, the family company specialized in the production of bituminous mixes, gaining solid, recognized expertise in bitumen that led him to collaborate with leading contractors of major roadworks and to work with clients such as ANAS, Societa Autostrade Meridionali, Autostrade del Brennero, and Italian public bodies that own or manage roads. With SOCOB he carried out the complex construction works of Interporto Sud Europa - Polo Marcianise - Maddaloni, Interporto di Marcianise - Nola, which included the construction of a rail connection between the Marcianise/Maddaloni freight yard and Interporto Sud Europa, the intermodal storage and shunting yard, as well as internal and town-connection roads, sewers, public lighting, fire-protection network, and the aqueduct, including the takeover of the Campano aqueduct. Since 2002 he has led CO.GE.R., which acquired the SOCOB Srl business unit specialized in the execution of public works. CO.GE.R. continued the Maddaloni/Marcianise interport works and in 2002 acquired an additional contract with Interporto Sud Europa for the construction of a retail park in the municipality of Marcianise. In 2005 CO.GE.R. was also awarded the external road system works for the "Parco Commerciale Campania," including underpasses, overpasses and junctions, and connections between the shopping center, the A1 motorway, and neighboring municipalities. From 2002 to 2010, under his administration and direction, CO.GE.R. delivered other major works with significant impact on the served communities, such as the extensive urbanization works at Parco Talenti in Rome, with the rehabilitation of road sections and the widening of major arteries, the overpass viaduct at the Via Langhirano roundabout in Parma, resurfacing and improvements to dangerous curves on SS Carlo Felice in Sardinia, the Trento Sud motorway station for Autostrade del Brennero and, in collaboration with Romagnoli S.p.A., the widening works on the A3 Napoli - Salerno motorway in the Pompei - Scafati - Torre Annunziata section. In 2010 UNIMPRESA S.p.A. was also established and initially carried out segments of work assigned to SOCOB and CO.GE.R., until in 2017 it won the international tender for the rehabilitation of the Bole Airport New Runway in Ethiopia and in 2018 opened an office in Addis Ababa to carry out the works. The appreciation and satisfaction of the client Ethiopian Airways led to Unimpresa also being awarded the rehabilitation of the Old Runway, followed by contracts from the Ethiopian Ministry of Defense and the Ethiopian Road Authority. Enrico Rainone's expertise and the network of relationships with leading companies in the major roadworks supply chain, built over three decades of previous collaborations, are foundational elements of Unimpresa's expansion on the African continent.
Graduated in Civil Engineering with an experimental thesis on "Study of the correlation between the Marshall stability test and the indirect tensile strength test (Brazilian test) in bituminous mixes," published in 1982 in the AUTOSTRADE journal. While still in the early stages of his experience as works director for private construction companies, in 1984 he won the competition to teach Construction and Construction Technology, and the following year he also won the competition for the chair of Technical Drawing, Topography and Topographic Drawing, but he never taught, preferring to continue his activity for companies specializing in major public works. He directed construction sites for bridges, viaducts, tunnels, railway underpasses, large water conveyance plants above and below ground, with Romagnoli S.p.A. of Milan from 1981 to 2006 and Pisa Costruttori of Brescia from 2006 to 2009, then participated as technical director in the projects that shaped the company history of GO.Ge.R. from 2009 to 2011, and of Unimpresa S.p.A. from 2011 to today, coordinating design, work teams, relationships with technical partners, and being indispensable in managing relationships with public and private clients. Four decades of experience directing projects and sites for some of the most complex public works carried out in Italy (Campania Shopping Center, expansion of the Castel Romano Outlet, water intake works on the Ofanto and large-diameter pipelines serving the Bari coastal area, disconnect structures for the "Ofanto - Locone" irrigation system in Basilicata, the "Traversa sul Trivigno - Acerenza Dam" water tunnel in Basilicata, construction of the "Ofanto - Rendina" connecting canal in the Municipality of Melfi (PZ), Vesuvian Aqueduct, widening to three lanes of the A3 Napoli - Pompei - Salerno motorway, construction of the external variant of the built-up area of Roccella Ionica - Reggio Calabria, deep wells (1,500 m) to integrate irrigation flows for the right-bank Ofanto district in Basilicata, construction of a new road axis in the Municipality of Torre del Greco, rehabilitation works on State Road "Carlo Felice - SS 131" in Sardinia, rehabilitation of the "New Runway" at Addis Ababa International Airport in Ethiopia, just to name a few); the ability to provide projects with mentoring skills for the training of young resources; combined with a precise analytical approach make Giovanni Ciocci a key pillar of Unimpresa S.p.A.'s strong expansion in Africa, starting from the projects carried out in Ethiopia from 2018 onwards. He is a speaker at conferences on road construction materials and techniques, and is often consulted for correct technical/administrative management in the execution of public works and is an expert in managing disputes arising from work interruptions and contract termination.
He has directed and coordinated the entire technical staff of Unimpresa S.p.A. since 2024.

The rehabilitation of the Bole Airport New Runway in Addis Ababa involved the use of advanced technologies for structural pavement diagnosis, including the Heavy Weight Deflectometer (HWD) and Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR), used by Unimpresa S.p.A. in partnership with Dynatest Italia and under the scientific supervision of Prof. Alessandro Marradi. When cracking or deformation is present, the runway condition is verified through an on-site investigation campaign in which the HWD plays a central role: a mobile lab applies an impulse load that simulates the passage of an aircraft wheel and measures, via geophones, the surface deflection at various distances from the load axis. Analysis of the deflection basin makes it possible to estimate the Dynamic Elastic Moduli of the various layers, including subgrades, a crucial piece of information for runways subject to very high vertical, tangential, and torsional stresses.
VIEW PROJECT
Reinforced earth, made up of reinforcement geogrids and fill soil, are retaining structures (NTC 2018) used in geotechnical and road engineering to build embankments with sub-vertical slopes, i.e., with much steeper gradients than normal earth embankments (<= 45 degrees). On the new Epheson-Ataye-Mehal Meda road this technology was chosen to solve two critical issues: very steep natural slopes and the strong cantilever of the road embankment beyond the slope profile. The use of reinforced earth made it possible to limit the embankment extension toward the valley, avoiding excessive cut on the uphill side and the need for enormous volumes of fill material to reach the design road level.
VIEW PROJECT
Throughout the first decade of the 2000s, the scale and complexity of the road works entrusted to CO.GE.R, part of the Unirainone group, required procedures for building "box" structures, i.e., concrete monoliths cast on site off-line and then inserted into the road and/or motorway embankments to be crossed, by pushing with hydraulic jacks, to allow the traffic in service to be maintained. The same technology was also adopted for road and/or motorway underpasses and to allow the passage of water supply lines.
VIEW PROJECT
During the first ANAS lot for the construction of the third lane of the A3 Napoli-Pompei-Salerno, an off-line reinforced concrete box structure about 60 m long was built, configured as a "micro tunnel," to ensure the continuity of the Circumvesuviana railway line near the Pompei interchange (Naples direction). The monolith was built on site and then pushed into the motorway embankment using hydraulic jacks (oleodynamic thrust), allowing the A3 vehicular traffic to remain in service throughout all launching phases.
VIEW PROJECT
During the long urbanization works at Parco Talenti in Rome, to protect the 2 m diameter steel water pipeline that crosses Via di Casal Boccone, a large reinforced concrete box structure was built. At the end of that road, before entering the roundabout where Via Ojetti joins, a structure known as the "Cecchina Bridge" was built to cross the "Fosso della Cecchina," part of the stormwater collection system for Parco Talenti. This structure, whose abutments rest on large-diameter piles, has an 11 m span and a width of about 25 meters, including service tunnels and sidewalks. - The Parco Talenti works required complex excavation phases during which archaeological findings emerged, concerning the wall perimeter of a Roman-era villa. CO.GE.R. carried out a targeted and detailed survey and the related drawings for the Works Management, for the design of protection works for the site and for its location. - These protection works executed by CO.GE.R. consisted of backfilling the excavations, proper compaction, and the construction of a reinforced concrete slab of adequate thickness to safeguard the finds, as the area is subject to vehicular traffic.
