What Sina Spa does

Sina S.p.A. is an Italian engineering firm headquartered in Milan, founded in 1962, that specializes in large transportation infrastructure. The company delivers a full lifecycle of services — from project financing support, design, and construction management to asset management, road safety, and diagnostics — for highways, railways, airports, and ports. Its service portfolio is anchored on three pillars: Progettazione e Direzione Lavori (design and construction supervision), Asset Management (assessment studies, maintenance planning, and proprietary software), and Diagnostica (inspections, material testing, environmental and instrumental monitoring, pavement and laser/topographic surveys, and non-destructive testing). Sina Spa also operates dedicated Road Safety and Innovation/R&D practices.

The technology backbone is a suite of trademarked, in-house software products used by infrastructure operators to monitor and manage assets: APMS® for airport pavement, S.I.O.S.® for bridge inspection, B&TMS for bridge and tunnel management, ArcUtilities Strade for road infrastructure, and the TuView / Tunnel-Inspector / Tunnel-Info suite for tunnels. Sina Spa is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Gruppo ASTM, one of the world's leading large-scale infrastructure operators, and serves enterprise customers that include Autostrada A4 Torino-Milano, Asti-Cuneo, AV-AC Torino-Milano high-speed rail, Porto di Trieste, and Porto di Civitavecchia.

The business model is project-based professional services and proprietary software licensing, sold through direct enterprise engagement with infrastructure operators and concessionaires. The company is privately held (S.p.A. structure) with a subscribed share capital of €10,140,625, operates only in Italy (Europe), and has a headcount of 101–250 employees. Pricing is not publicly disclosed; contracts are awarded through professional services procurement. Distribution is direct B2B, supported by technical publications, industry conferences such as ECNDT, and an academic outreach program.
