ENVIRONMENT BOLD LEADERSHIP SYSTRA 10 Saudi Arabia When the future serves history SYSTRA was chosen to conduct the preliminary and detailed design studies for a somewhat unusual tramway project. Over a distance of 21 kilometres, in north-western Saudi Arabia, in the AlUla oasis, the route will serve a major cultural, agricultural and residential area that boasts an exceptional architectural, historical, archaeological and environmental heritage. The route will need to showcase it while at the same time preserving it. Egypt Cairo is expanding its mobility solutions The first tranche of phase 3 of line 3 of the Egyptian capital’s metro system was officially inaugurated on 6 October 2022. This was a major milestone for a network, the development of which SYSTRA has been involved in since 1970. Cairo continues to extend its transport offering in a bid to reduce the density of a city that suffers recurring pollution incidents, while at the same time providing its residents with safe and sustainable mobility solutions. France Toulouse is on the rise The inauguration of Téléo – Toulouse’s urban cable car system – is the culmination of years of studies, design and development work for SYSTRA. Spanning three kilometres and supported by only five pylons – meaning the smallest possible footprint – the cable car system represents significant technical prowess: since May, users have been able to pass over the flood plains of the Garonne river, a Natura 2000 protected site, a regional nature reserve, a biotope protection site and an area of protected historical monuments. International SYSTRA – ambassador of a low-carbon future At the InnoTrans show in Germany – the major world rail transport event – SYSTRA and Stradal presented Slab Track – a patented system of next-generation low-carbon tracks on slabs. Made in France, this innovation meets the challenges of track-replacement projects: easy to lay, economically competitive and produced on an entirely prefabricated low-carbon reinforced concrete structure, it has a very low environmental impact.
