Alstom has signed two contracts with Egypt’s National Authority for Tunnels (NAT) to supply the signalling system and the infrastructure of the phase 4A of Cairo metro line 3, currently under construction. The first contract for the signalling system was received by Alstom in consortium with Thales. The second contract for infrastructure was obtained as part of a consortium including Colas Rail, Orascom and ARABCO. Alstom’s shares in these contracts amount to around €80 million.
For the phase 4A of Cairo metro line 3, Alstom will provide its Urbalis 200 signalling system as well as points machines and station signalling equipment. The company will also provide electromechanical equipment including power supply to feed the third rail, ventilation system and elevators/escalators. Phase 4A of line 3, which covers 5.7 km and comprises 5 stations, will be completed in early 2018.
