The socioeconomic impact of high speed rail lines goes beyond the mere means of transport: any new line is above all a sign of the transformation of regions and the creation of new relationships. With high speed lines, distance is measured not in kilometres but in minutes of distance-time. And to date, it is the most efficient, robust and sustainable solution for interconnecting cities, changing the scale of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.systra.com\/australia\/markets\/urban-transit\/\"><strong>urban spaces<\/strong><\/a> and opening up the potential of their activities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Added to this are the notions of environmental utility and efficiency: a high speed line helps to relieve congestion on road networks, emits little CO<sup>2<\/sup>, and is characterised by a sustainable and long-lasting infrastructure that can adapt to technological developments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-is-layout-16018d1d wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-lipstick-background-color has-background wp-element-button\" href=\"#download\">Download High SPeed Rail Brochure<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:70px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:70px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-slider-quotes\">\n    <div class=\"center1130\">\n        <div class=\"wrapper-content-quotes\">\n            <div class=\"txt-part\">\n                <h2>\n                    THEY HAVE CONFIDENCE IN US                <\/h2>\n                <p>\n                    The projects we lead are always the fruit of close collaboration between our teams, our clients and our partners.

A few examples: feasibility studies for the <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.systra.com\/australia\/projects\/hs2-high-speed-line-united-kingdom\/\">HS2 project <\/a><\/strong>in the UK, projects for new lines in France in Provence-Alpes-C\u00f4te d&#8217;Azur, Normandy or even from Montpellier to Perpignan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>This support continues during the execution and completion of projects until they are commissioned.

The BIM (Building Information Modelling) approach accelerates and makes the design phase more reliable while securing costs and planning. Thanks to its collaborative organisation, <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.systra.com\/australia\/projects\/digital-engineering\/\">BIM <\/a><\/strong>facilitates decision-making.

The standardisation and prefabrication of elements helps us to reduce the quantities of materials consumed, speed up the scheduling of works and reduce the construction costs of the structures. To this end, we have filed a disruptive patent for standardised slab tracks, which is intended for new lines and, as a world first, for track regeneration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:40px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center has-pale-mauve-background-color has-background\"><strong><strong>DID YOU KNOW?<\/strong><\/strong><br><br><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.systra.com\/australia\/markets\/complex-structures\/\">Earthworks<\/a><\/strong> and civil engineering account for more than 70% of the cost of a high speed line, which is why our engineers pay particular attention to the parameters related to these two fields.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-is-layout-16018d1d wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-lipstick-background-color has-background wp-element-button\" href=\"#download\">Download Brochure<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:80px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns has-dusty-blue-background-color has-background is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"580\" height=\"814\" src=\"https:\/\/www.systra.com\/australia\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2023\/10\/image-1.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4671\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.systra.com\/australia\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2023\/10\/image-1.png 580w, https:\/\/www.systra.com\/australia\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2023\/10\/image-1-214x300.png 214w, https:\/\/www.systra.com\/australia\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2023\/10\/image-1-474x665.png 474w, https:\/\/www.systra.com\/australia\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2023\/10\/image-1-200x282.png 200w, https:\/\/www.systra.com\/australia\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2023\/10\/image-1-180x253.png 180w, https:\/\/www.systra.com\/australia\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2023\/10\/image-1-153x215.png 153w, https:\/\/www.systra.com\/australia\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2023\/10\/image-1-230x323.png 230w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 580px) 100vw, 580px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-blanc-color has-text-color\" id=\"h-the-fast-track-to-a-seamless-safer-railway-system\" style=\"text-transform:capitalize\">The Fast Track to a seamless, safer railway system<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-blanc-color has-text-color\">In this publication, we delve into the benefits and challenges that will come with interoperability, and focus on the critical role data, technology and people will play in ensuring the journey is as smooth as possible.
