This assignment, one of the biggest engineering contracts signed by the Group to
date in France, confirms SYSTRA’s positioning as the signature team for
transportation solutions.

Lines 15 East and 15 West are destined to play a key role in the Grand Paris
Express. Together, they will serve 27 communes, covering a distance of 43 km,
and should transport 1 million passengers per day. The technical project
management assistance assignment will start in September 2019 and will continue
until the commissioning of the two lines, scheduled for 2030.

**Didier Traube, SYSTRA’s Managing Director France, underlines:** « The SYSTRA
Group is proud and honoured to have been selected by SGP to contribute to this
project of such importance to the inhabitants of the Greater Paris region. This
new assignment, exceptionally large for an engineering contract, confirms our
commitment to SGP, with whom we have been in a partnership since 2011. We will
carry out this assignment with passion, relying on our excellent knowledge of
metro projects in the Greater Paris region and on our breadth of experience at
the international level: this combined experience is a valuable asset which will
enable us to respect the objectives set by SGP. We will mobilise a very large
range of areas of expertise developed within the Group, including the management
of large projects, civil engineering and rail equipment engineering, as well as
architecture, environmental management, land management issues, and tendering
processes…»
