It was in June 2009 that SYSTRA won the contract for the project management of the first tram line. Opened in December 2012, this line, which is 31km long, serves 44 stations and transports more than 130,000 passengers per day. The second tram line designed by SYSTRA was inaugurated in 2019.
FACILITATING MOBILITY FOR THE CITIZENS OF CASABLANCA
Since the beginning of 2019, the inhabitants of Casablanca have been able to benefit from a tram network extended by 16.5km. The newly opened sections cross nine districts, with close to a million people living in the vicinity of the tram lines, about a quarter of the population of the economic capital of Morocco.
A NETWORK SIGNED SYSTRA
For this assignment, awarded by Casa Transports, a local development company, the teams were in charge of the project management of the entire execution for the infrastructure, the systems and the rolling stock.
We overcame numerous challenges on this project, in particular:
- infrastructure reorganisation works simultaneously on the two interchanges with only nine days of interruption of operation;
- migration of all the central systems without interruption of operation.
