Paris awards over EUR 550 million new metro contracts

A consortium led by Fayat group, through its legal representative, Razel-Bec – and also including Eiffage Génie Civil, Sefi-Intrafor, Eiffage Fondations and I.CO.P companies – has been appointed by RATP Paris for the EUR 365 million work package GC03, which will link the Olympiades metro station and the airport.

The contract involves the construction of a 4km tunnel as well as the civil engineering of three stations some other construction work. Some of 110,000m³ of concrete will be installed and 520,000m³ will be excavated, requiring the use of a tunnel boring machine. The JV expects that 420 people will be mobilised within the 4 and a half years of extensive tunneling works. This contract also concerns the construction of the civil engineering and ancillary works of 3 railway stations, with temporary names Chevilly Trois-Communes, MIN Porte de Thiais and Rungis Bridge.

A joint venture of Salini Impregilo and Nouvelles Générations d’Entrepreneurs (NGE) has won a EUR 203 million million contract. Under package GC04, Salini Impregilo and NGE will excavate a 4.1km tunnel from Pont de Rungis station to the site of a new station at Orly.  The tunnel boring machine will start digging in the first quarter of 2019 and works should be ready in 2022.

The stakes of this project are related to the proximity of the Orly airport, with the constraint of not causing trouble to the aeronautical operation, which will of course be maintained during the work. It will be necessary to drill a 4 km tunnel, build a 330 m covered trench and connect all at the future Morangis metro maintenance site. This involves the construction of several access shafts and ancillary works in the immediate vicinity of the airport. Line 14 is one of the strategic axes of the future Grand Paris Express. It will connect, by 2024, Pleyel (north of Paris), where will be installed the Olympic Village, at Orly airport.

It will be connected to Lines 18 and 15 and will provide several connections with the current lines of the Paris metro, including Olympiades metro station. The 14 kilometre long underground Line 14 Sud will serve more than 260,000 inhabitants of Paris, Val-de-Marne and Essonne. Once opened in 2024, it will provide links with line 7 of the metro, the RER C and tramway 7.
