maintenance centrefor Line
18 of the Grand Paris
Express in Palaiseau
(south of
Paris)
- Several technical facilities
spanning 64,000 sq. metres in total
- A contract worth over €80
million
Société du Grand Paris has awarded Chantiers
Modernes Construction (VINCI Construction) the contract to build
the operation and rolling stock maintenance centre for the future
Line 18 of the Grand Paris Express. The centre will be in
Palaiseau, and the line will connect the rapidly expanding
Paris-Saclay research and development hub to Orly Airport and the
city of Versailles.
The facilities will be near École Polytechnique,
an engineering school, and span about 64,000 square metres in
total. They will include:
- an infrastructure maintenance base
to service the line's equipment (tracks, power distribution
systems, etc.);
- a maintenance base and depot for
the automatic metro line's trains (45 to 60 metres long);
- a central control room to
coordinate, supervise and regulate traffic;
- technical facilities such as the
Tour en Fosse building, electrical utility rooms and security
post.
The contract is worth €82 million and 20% of the
total has been awarded to SMEs. It covers roadworks and utility
networks, earthworks, the structure, the envelope, finishing work,
technical installations and industrial equipment.
During this project, 10% of the hours worked
will be set aside for people on social integration programmes.
VINCI will also involve its endowment fund, Chantiers et
Territoires Solidaires, which supports non-profits' initiatives to
create jobs and foster community life in the towns and cities
surrounding Grand Paris Express projects.
This contract follows the one for the Line 14
maintenance base and depot in Morangis (also south of Paris),
awarded in 2018. It thus confirms Chantiers Modernes Construction's
expertise in construction of functional installations and equipment
for the Grand Paris programme. The VINCI Group is also involved in
other works packages for the Grand Paris Express, where it is
leveraging synergies among its subsidiaries and combining their
expertise in underground works, urban development, rail works,
information technologies, data and electrical engineering.
