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.

Our Services

Planning & Consultancy

Design

Choosing SYSTRA for the design of a project means opting for a global leader in the design of infrastructure, both railway lines and civil engineering structures. From preliminary studies and sketches to execution studies and independent review, our design departments are involved at every stage of the studies and in every field. Layout, geotechnics, earthworks, underground or overhead infrastructures, systems, but also the design of rolling stock, buildings, operating and maintenance schemes, with constant attention paid to the environment, and sustainable design and construction.

Project Management & Construction

SYSTRA is an expert in Project Management and Construction Supervision services. From Light Rail and Mass Transit to High Speed Lines, not to forget Conventional Rail and Exceptional Infrastructure, our Engineers have managed the delivery and supervised the construction of some of the largest and most complex transportation projects. With blended teams of Project Management and Technical experts, we tackle your challenges as a true partner, always keeping in mind the best project interests.

Testing & Commissioning

SYSTRA is committed to the quality of the transport service offered to passengers and supports its clients throughout the testing and commissioning process. Our integration experts define the test strategy, then plan, manage and conduct the tests from the factory to the site, manage the overall tests, organise the handover of the transport system to the operator and supervise the start of commercial operation.

Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART) – United States

Technical details

Client

Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART)

Dates

2020-2030

Missions

Design Services During Construction (DSDC); numerous train control, emergency preparedness and engineering assignments

Location

United States

Activity

Railways

Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART) is a rail transport network serving the entire San Francisco Bay area in the United States. As the population of California continues to grow, the authorities have decided to increase the transport capacity of this network by automating it with a CBTC (Communications-Based Train Control) system.

SYSTRA: A KEY PLAYER IN THE FUTURE OF BART

SYSTRA has played a pivotal role in keeping BART trains moving over the years and into the future. Our US teams were initially hired to review and evaluate BART’s new Integrated Control System (ICS) designed to supervise all train movements. SYSTRA identified risks and recommended solutions for ICS to BART. Since then, SYSTRA has provided expertise on numerous train control, emergency preparedness and engineering assignments to BART to ensure safety and reliability for its riders.

SYSTRA’s CBTC EXPERTISE ACKNOWLEDGED

In 2020, we were awarded a long-term project to provide BART with Design Services During Construction (DSDC) to deploy the Communications-Based Train Control (CBTC*) system for the entire network. Our long-standing knowledge of CBTC projects around the world and the growth of our activities in this area are key assets in successfully completing this project.

*A CBTC system is an automatic traffic control system based on communication between the track and the trains.
