A team of NGE group and Alstom is to carry out the civil works and build the tracks for the Avignon tramway project in France. The works are expected to be completed by the end of January 2019.
The consortium, which is led by the NGE group via its subsidiary TSO, was awarded the contract by the Greater Avignon Agglomeration and Tecelys following a public tender. The 20-month project covers the design, supply and installation of the civil works platforms and track. Work involves the construction of 5.4km of civil works for a total length of 10.8km of track. There will also be eight corresponding track turnouts, 10 stations and a maintenance centre.
Alstom France managing director Jean-Baptiste Eyméoud said: “We are honoured by the renewed trust of the Greater Avignon, which will benefit from the expertise of Alstom teams based in France, both for the rolling stock and the rail infrastructure project.”
“The trust shown by the agglomeration community of Greater Avignon in choosing us for this large-scale project demonstrates that the NGE Group, with its subsidiary TSO, is a recognised, key player in the railway sector.”
