Roads and Highways

SYSTRA has built up a reputation for technical excellence through the successful completion of motorway projects around the world, such as in India and Brazil.
We provide design and engineering services for all types of roads and motorways.
Our teams have experience of designing in accordance with various international codes.

Urban Infrastructures / Real estate, logistics

The creation of transport hubs is accompanied by more global urban projects including new urban functions, whether residential, tertiary, retail or service. Accompanying urban development therefore requires a multi-disciplinary and comprehensive approach.
This is why SYSTRA has integrated teams of architects, town planners, landscape architects, ecologists, civil engineering, hydraulic engineering, engineering structures, building, environmental and biodiversity experts, acousticians, as well as furniture and signage designers, and also acts as a land operator.

Mining

Our role is to improve railway efficiency to maximise mine profitability. Our expertise in railway engineering and technical services for the mining industry originates from experience acquired with major mining companies worldwide, thanks to our knowledge of heavy rail standards and practices. We provide reliable and cost-effective solutions during every stage of a project cycle, from preliminary planning to ongoing operations.

Airports, Ports and marine

As an engineering company, SYSTRA supports its clients in all transport infrastructure projects, including airports and ports.
Our network of experts, located in all regions of the world, can help you to design and organise airport terminals, model port terminals, carry out environmental studies or provide building expertise.

Electrification progresses on the Transpennine Route Upgrade (TRU) in the UK

29 August 2025

A quarter of the 70-mile Transpennine main line has now been electrified, a major milestone in the project to bring faster, greener and more reliable services between the cities of Manchester, Huddersfield, Leeds and York in the UK.

To celebrate this progress, Heidi Alexander MP, Secretary of State for Transport, visited the route on August 5 and travelled on a TransPennine Express bi-mode train between Leeds and York.

SYSTRA contributing for over a decade

As part of the Transpennine Route Upgrade (TRU) East Alliance, alongside Network Rail, Murphy, Siemens and VolkerRail, SYSTRA has been delivering a raft of upgrades along the eastern section (TRUe) of the line since 2014.

Our teams have been involved in every stage of this vital rail modernisation project in the UK, including with a successful bridge replacement at the end of 2024.

The benefits of the Transpennine Route Upgrade are numerous:

• Carbon emissions cut by up to 108,000 tonnes per year
• More freight by rail, removing more than 1,000 lorries from the road daily
• Reduced journey times Increased capacity by more than a third
• Lasting social and economic value, with more than 5,000 jobs already supported and a peak workforce forecast of 8,000
• Increased accessibility and improved passenger facilities
