This agreement covers a wide range of services: SYSTRA and Egis teams will
support Iarnród Éireann in a number of rail infrastructure projects for
passengers and freight. Experts from SYSTRA’s offices in Ireland and the United
Kingdom will provide innovative and sustainable services.

We will be involved in all phases of project development: strategic planning and
public policy development, design, contracting and construction.

### Expanding our range of services in Ireland

### SYSTRA and Egis: major collaboration

SYSTRA and Egis are working together on numerous projects throughout the world.
In Morocco, for example, Egis has teamed up with SYSTRA and Novec, a local
engineering company,
[to build a high-speed line between Kenitra and Marrakech](https://www.systra.com/en/news/new-contract-in-a-consortium-for-the-kenitra-marrakech-hsl-in-morocco/)
. This project is part of the preparations for the 2030 Football World Cup,
which the country is co-hosting with Spain and Portugal.

Also underway is the Queensland Train Manufacturing Program (QTMP), run as a
50/50 project management joint venture with Egis in Australia, which began in
2023 with the aim of bringing into service by 2032 a complete fleet of trains
built and maintained in Queensland.

Other examples of fruitful collaboration between SYSTRA and Egis include the
extension and automation of line B of the Lyon metro in France, and the
construction of
[3 of the 6 lines of the Riyadh automatic metro](https://www.systra.com/en/news/inauguration-of-the-riyadh-automatic-metro-systra-a-major-actor-in-this-ambitious-project/)
in Saudi Arabia.
