Platform Canopy Lighting Upgrade – Roma Termini Railway Station

Challenge
Upgrade the lighting system of Platform 1 at Roma Termini Railway Station to improve safety, visual comfort and infrastructure efficiency while enhancing the architectural value of the historic canopy, without disrupting railway operations during the works.

Solution
FIDA delivered a turnkey solution, managing the entire project lifecycle, including lighting design, electrical distribution design and installation, the design and installation of inspectable cladding panels, the supply and installation of 433 next-generation T-LED luminaires, a new electrical distribution board, dimming control systems, and the removal of the existing installations. The project also included 1,182 m² of cladding, 390 m of architectural casings, and 780 m of accent lighting, designed to integrate the new luminaires, conceal existing technical systems and enhance the station canopy’s historic soffit. The entire system was implemented while ensuring the continuous operation of passenger information displays, platform indicators, CCTV systems and public address equipment throughout the installation works.

Result
The project brought the platform lighting into compliance with current railway standards, significantly improving visibility, safety and passenger comfort. At the same time, the new lighting system enhanced the architectural appearance of the historic canopy, simplified future maintenance thanks to the inspectable cladding, and demonstrated FIDA’s ability to deliver fully integrated, high-value turnkey solutions without causing any disruption to daily railway operations.
