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.

Tramways

Mobilised since 2020 for the relaunch of the Bologna tramway, SYSTRA has already contributed to the creation of the first three lines of the network.

A COMPLETE MAKEOVER OF THE TRAM NETWORK

The number of tramway projects in Bologna is set to increase as part of its Sustainable Urban Mobility Plan (SUMP), approved in 2018, the city council announced the following year that it wanted to have a complete network of almost 60km, with a total of four lines, by 2030.

These lines will replace the bus and trolleybus lines that are most heavily used, carrying up to 300,000 passengers a day. For the moment, only the Red and Green lines are underway.

SYSTRA ON ALL THE LINES

Our teams in Italy have participated in the following projects:

• 2021: design studies for the Red Line
• 2022: contract for the design studies for the Blue Line
• 2023: amendment to the contract for the Green Line to cover its design up to its northern terminus

THE GREEN LINE, A KEY COMPONENT

The Green Line is a key component in the network as it will connect with the hub of Castel Maggiore, which links to train and suburban bus networks as well as a park-and-ride facility.
