GRAND PARIS EXPRESS flagship infrastructure in Europe It has been dubbed the “worksite of the century”. The Grand Paris Express will double the size of the Paris metro network, connecting towns and revolutionising the mobility offer in the Île-de-France 200KM region. With nearly 200km of new lines and 68 stations, the new network will put 90% of Île-de-France residents within 2km of a stationof new lines and eventually carry more than 2 million passengers a day. Since theand 68 stations launch of studies in 2011, SYSTRA has been supporting Société du Grand Paris, now known as Société des Grands Projets, at every stage,for all the lines and with the support of all its expertise: project20 YEARS to double the size management and assistance to the contracting authority for rollingof the Paris metro and stock systems and maintenance infrastructure. connect towns in the Île-de-France region SYSTRA is the only engineering company working on the four new automated metro lines on the Grand Paris Express, metro lines 15, 16, 17 and 18, which is an opportunity for the Group to achieve some remarkable feats. Grand Paris Express is the largest transport infrastructure project in Europe and the first of its size to be entirely modelled using Building Information Modelling (BIM). The SYSTRA teams are proud of the construction of the underground station at Orly without disrupting operations at the airport and the completion of metro line 14 and RER line E, the backbone of Paris 2024, ready to welcome the Games and their 12 million spectators. IMPACT An ambitious CSR roadmap Société des Grands Projets has made quantified environmental commitments and set the sustainability requirements to be met throughout the value chain for Grand Paris Express. The integration of climate risks, a plan for reduced energy consumption and the use of low-emission processes provide a framework for the project from design through to construction and operation. Conserving biodiversity, notably by offsetting the impact of construction work, and promoting the circular economy, in particular by recycling excavated soil, complement the sustainability goals of Société des Grands Projets, which are fully in line with SYSTRA’s approach. tropeR ytivitcA detargetnI 4202ARTSYS | 43
