Creativity is the DNA of engineering and the fertile ground in which our employees delve every day to rise to the challenges of a constantly changing world. Ever faster exchanges, digital, ecology and energy transition and the transformation of business models require that we employ inventiveness and technical prowess to define the best possible solutions and decisively cater to the current and future needs of our clients.

In order for this creativity to bear fruit beyond specific projects and allow us to anticipate market needs, Egis has for many years cultivated a resolute innovation policy. Guided by our firmly-held principle of remaining closely attentive to clients and stakeholders, this policy relies on solid specialist skills and cross-fertilisation between our different engineering disciplines. It also draws inspiration from the prolific imagination of our employees who never miss out on a chance to contribute a good idea.

For the past 20 years we have been pioneers in sustainability issues whilst developing working methods and tools that improve our performance.

This book will introduce you to a few of the innovations developed by the people at Egis.

And to go a step further, we will shortly be deploying new, more agile initiatives, more open to external partners and encouraging the commitment of each and every one of you. And so starting today, please do not hesitate to submit your own ideas at They could just turn out to be the innovations of tomorrow!

d Wind-it AN INNOVATIVE MOBILE TELECOMMUNICATIONS PYLON, HOUSING VERTICAL AXIS WIND TURBINES

is a ground-breaking technological innovation for base receiver stations which lack a reliable source of electricity.

Using a unique shell structure with a patented geometrical form, this pylon can accommodate several high-performance vertical mast wind turbines at heights ranging from 35 to 70 metres, and can also host several operators.

It can produce energy independently and, when connected to a solar-powered unit, enables mobile phone companies to considerably reduce and potentially dispense with the traditional fuel oil-powered generator.

The Wind-it® tower, which is totally modular, can be scaled to produce excess energy and thereby contribute to local electricity needs. ► 100 % renewable power!

► Electrically self-sufficient base stations ► First contract signed in Madagascar ► In 2016, Wind-it® signed a contract with Orange for

installation of two vertical wind turbine systems in Luxembourg

n Sobre A SOCIAL PLATFORM FOR MANAGING AND CONTROLLING ENERGY

Poste Immo, Caisse des Dépôts and Egis have teamed up to found a joint venture to promote the energy transition: SOBRE. Following an experimentation phase on the property assets of the shareholders, the firm will offer professional users working in real estate a range of concrete solutions for energy management and efficiency. At a time when the climate is becoming a pressing issue and with increasingly stringent regulatory control and a general upward trend of energy prices, regional authorities and private companies are duty bound to control the fuel bill of their real estate portfolio, without putting a greater strain on their capital expenditure.

In this perspective, the service provided by SOBRE will tackle the least expensive sources of savings in terms of investment: promoting behavioural changes among premises users, improving the technical operation of facilities, minor renovations, etc.

► The Sobre service is a social platform for energy management and efficiency in tertiary buildings, made up of three complementary bricks: a metrological brick: the Sobre Box a software brick: the Sobre Energy Information System a "data science brick": Sobre analytics algorithms

Energy Data

The Energy Data project aims to organise the structure of energy data produced by engineering activities in order to improve the Egis group’s services in the areas of energy transition and Smart City. ► Contribute to controlling electricity and heat consumption, by

improving knowledge relating to the respective consumption units

► Safeguard the assessment of forecast consumption in projects incorporating an Energy Performance Guarantee

► Contribute to the development of smart grid : assessment of the potential of on-site self-consumption of renewable energy production, identification of load shedding capabilities, etc

► Design new or refurbished buildings with the functions required for access to services provided by smart grid (so-called Smart Grid Ready buildings)

► Assist our clients in negotiating their electricity purchasing contracts, by controlling their provisional working load curve

► Optimise the sizing of electrical facilities as part of our Prime Contracting tasks, and thus recommend the economic optimisation of projects

Also worth noting In light of current engineering practices and resources, it has been observed that while heat consumption is generally well controlled thanks to proven forecasting methods and lessons learned from experience, knowledge of electrical consumption is less advanced, in particular with regard to specific consumption posts

Gerici A SOLUTION TO ADAPT INFRASTRUCTURE TO CLIMATE CHANGE

► GERICI is an acronym that stands for the French equivalent of “management of climate change-related risks to infrastructure”

► GERICI was subsequently developed at European level in the projects RIMAROCC and ROADAPT in which Egis also participated

► Egis is also a contributor to the WATCH project launched at the end of 2016 dealing with the hydraulic aspect of adapting to climate change

Bonuses

The aim of the GERICI solution is to identify the vulnerabilities of infrastructures and assess the climate risks to which they are exposed. Combine with a geographical information system (GIS), the methodological approach draws conclusions as to the adaptive capacity of the systems under study (resilience) as well as their necessary upgrading. This solution has been tested on two motorway sections in France:

- A1 for SANEF motorway owner - Pilote study for RFF (French rail network manager) on the South West

network.

©

► Better integration of constraints and environmental risks in infrastructure design and management

► Optimization of investment and maintenance costs for the operator

► Evaluation of socioeconomic benefits for the serviced territories

► Better anticipation and management of structural and operational risks associated to climate events

obit C2ROP

A NATIONAL RESEARCH PROJECT ON ROCK FALL AND ROCK-RELATED RISKS The National Project C2ROP (2015-2018) aims to provide practical, reliable and innovative solutions to the issues of rock fall and rock-related risks. Within the INDURA cluster (Rhône-Alpes sustainable investment) it brings together around fifty partners who for the first time on a nationwide level share their knowledge and expertise on the topic of rock-related risks. They are project owners, engineers, contractors, researchers and academics, and industrial firms. Organised around three main workstreams, Hazards, Risks and Protection, the C2ROP project aims to :

► Build a coordinated tool chain between these 3 fields, ► Produce a risk repository with acceptable costs ► Found a sustainable community working or rock-related

risks ► Position and develop French know-how on an international

level

The purposefully operational research programme will make the results of research available to those who need them, in particular project owners and infrastructure managers.

► The Hazards phase of the National Project C2ROP (2015-2018) is currently nearing completion while the Risks and Protection phases will continue to run until 2018

MAPPING THE VALUE OF SERVICES PROVIDED BY NATURE AND REDUCING BIODIVERSITY LOSSES

After 4 years of research, in partnership with LAMETA* and substantial investment in R&D, Egis now boasts an operational tool – the “Aulnes” method and toolkit. It represents the spatial impact of services delivered by ecosystems and assessment of the loss caused (economic, environmental and even societal value) by a project. A method in 4 successive steps :

► Identification of services provided and impacted: a typology has been established that links the services provided to the covered area. This step helps to spatialize service provision

► Characterisation of the impacted area considered for the given service: for each service and per type of project, characterisation of the effect of the direct and indirect impacts on the various services provided by ecosystems

► Prediction of biophysical services loss & estimation of the loss (economic values)

► Evolution of the loss over time: use of an ecological “discount” rate

Bonuses

► Mapping of the service offer ► Calculation of losses in ecosystem services ► Integration of the loss of biodiversity and

ecosystem benefits into the social and economic impact assessments

Optiflux A TOOL FOR THE SPATIAL ANALYSIS OF WILDLIFE FLOWS TO BUILD GREEN AND BLUE BELTS INTO INFRASTRUCTURE PROJECTS Optiflux was designed and developed by Egis with the aim of predicting and representing the effects on territorial occupation of implanting a road or railway infrastructure and the viability of the animal populations affected. It also helps to test the suitability of the positioning of structures to re-establish these flows and thus improve their location and quantity.

A tool to protect biodiversity Optiflux identifies infrastructure alignments that will create the least impact on the movement of fauna, improve the quantity and the position of these developments for this wildlife. Based on the assessment of the spatial spread of a population in a land perimeter according to its ecological requirements, Optiflux’ objectives are to:

► assess the effect of a structure that modifies the landscape component, i.e. its contribution to the fragmentation of a territory

► contribute further to field studies to gain insight into the ecological functioning of regions towards wildlife and protection of biodiversity

Did you know ? ► This tool is unrivalled in its field today. It has been used to effect on a great many infrastructure projects: RCEA*, Rhine Rhone HSL, Poitiers-Limoges HSL, the planned A304, motorway A28, motorway A63, etc It offers a response to the new demands arising from the French Grenelle Act in the area of green and blue belts, and the conservation of biological corridors with non-fragmented environments

AN EXCEPTIONAL STRUCTURE COMBINING ELEGANCE, LOW-ENERGY AND INGENUITY Inaugurated in Bordeaux (South of France) in 2013, the Jacques Chaban-Delmas Bridge is one of the ten largest vertical lift bridges in the world! This was a truly exceptional structure for our engineers who conducted the design and works programme management. Both a work of art and a machine, this vertical lift bridge and its four towers rising 77m high are capable of raising its 2,500-tonne lift span 53 m above the Garonne, offering access to the estuary to liners and tall ships. Key figures :

► Total length: 433m including 117m of lift span ► Width of deck: 32 to 45m ► Shipping channel: 110m wide ► Height of towers: 77m ► Air draft in open position: 53m ► Number of bridge lifts: 60 per year ► Lifting and lowering time: 11 minutes

Did you know ? ► Building this bridge required 600,000 hours of work:

400,000 hours of construction and 200,000 hours of designs. The project lasted 10 years, the result of some tremendous teamwork and a lot of perseverance to overcome a great many obstacles

The Jacques Chaban-Delmas vertical lift bridge in Bordeaux won the Construction prize in the 2013 French National Engineering Awards and the “Outstanding Project of the Year” distinction in the 2014 FIDIC Awards

Citadelle bridge,

AN ELEGANT BLEND OF SIMPLICITY, ORIGINALITY AND CLARITY

The Citadelle Bridge is part of the plan to extend the Strasbourg LRT line D to the German border town of Kehl.

This metallic bridge with a through-arch supports a curved suspended deck measuring 163 metres between abutment centres. It is the result of highly integrated design between the architect and the engineers, combining technical requirements with the bridge’s aesthetic vision. It reflects a desire for simplicity and the aim of making the bridge elegant, in keeping with the project for the future development of the area.

The innovation in the bridge essentially lies in finding the perfect geometry from a perspective of balancing thrusts. The Engineering Structures and Railway teams at Egis pooled their skills to manage all the interfaces effectively with the LRT line.

French National Engineering Award 2016 The award-winning Egis team comprises Jean-Bernard NAPPI, architect; Claude LE QUÉRÉ (project manager) and Alexandros GIANNOPOULOS, Bridge Engineers, Nabil YAZBECK and Frédéric MENUEL, Bridge specialists

Managing traffic peaks

DECONGESTING THE CITY AND REWARDING EXEMPLARY DRIVERS Road traffic congestion has harmful effects on the environment, the economy and quality of life. With its Dutch subsidiary BNV Mobility, Egis offers a solution to reduce peak time road traffic. Contrary to an urban toll system which penalises the driver, a traffic peak management programme encourages personal responsibility and rewards exemplary behaviour. These programmes which are people centred and focus on changing behaviour, “delete” vehicles at certain times of the day on a given perimeter. In Rotterdam, the city has asked its inhabitants to avoid driving during peak time by rescheduling their journey, using other transport modes, working from home or ridesharing. The driver receives a reward (€3 per journey avoided for example) if they can prove that they found an alternative for their journey (LAPI cameras, connected terminals or mobile apps which can record the journey made). Did you know ? ► - 6% traffic in Rotterdam thanks to 12,000 participants ► Up to 80% of participants permanently changed their travel

patterns after the end of the programme

This solution earned second commendation in the "Le Monde-Smart Cities Innovation Awards 2016."

STREET PARKING ENFORCEMENT IN AMSTERDAM, NETHERLANDS Amsterdam’s street parking enforcement system is today considered to be one of the world’s most effective and advanced because it is entirely dematerialised.

It works using cars fitted with cameras which scan the number plates of parked vehicles and send the data to an automated back office processing system. Parking fees are then cross checked directly with the operator in cooperation with the local authorities.

Egis is responsible for developing and operating street parking services in the city.

Its advantages: ► Entirely dematerialised management ► No more need to issue a parking fine manually! ► Fewer parking enforcement officers ► Increased visitor payment rates ► A better understanding of inner city mobility

Did you know ?

► Egis manages approximately 150,000 parking spaces, 180,000 digitalised resident parking permits and 2,400 parking meters

Le "Tramway PUBLIC TRANSPORT TAILORED TO THE SIZE OF CITIES Faced with the new requirements of cities in the area of sustainable mobility, Egis has developed the “tramway autrement®” (another take on the tramway) approach. This proposes four categories of light rail systems, each suited to different urban configurations: the classic, the short, the economical and the express tram systems.

Each type of tram system has its specifically-designed street layout, stations and depots, service precision, level of technology, vehicle capacity and operating headway. Additional options are also offered, ranging from the highest quality to the most expedient.

This solution has already been adopted in the French cities of Besançon, Aubagne and Avignon!

Bonuses

► Cost structure aligned with the size of the city with a focus on the essential functions

► Contributes to high quality urban redevelopment ► Choice of a tram system on the criteria of utility,

performance and cost ► Optimisation of consumption ► Reduction in emissions per passenger carried

The shared smart street A DYNAMIC SPACE FOR SHARING

How do you react when a new use of public space emerges, in a space which by definition is non-extensible?

The shared smart street displays the ambition of reconciling all the uses of the public space, both present and future, by incorporating their time function within the space. The aim is to adapt to changes in life patterns to avoid public spaces constantly becoming obsolete due to their inability to develop at the right pace.

Based on the dynamic allocation of street spaces, this Egis solution uses a mechanism combining upstream information through variable messaging signage, smartphone apps and dynamic luminous signs on the ground.

The smart street solution is particularly suited to highly restricted spaces within which we find seemingly incompatible uses. It helps reconcile the uses and traffic capacity of the street and facilitates the expression of community life and living together within the city.

A smart solution ► Based on variable allocation of space according to utility time

periods: Daily or weekly time spans Longer lifespans reflecting changes in society: reboot possible when new uses are detected

► Not predetermined in its form: Plane surface No physical boundaries

► Interactive with users: Informations on use allocation provided on smartphones Provision of associated digital services vidéo 2 vidéo 1

Free-flow tolling

Already a pioneer in free-flow electronic tolling with the Melbourne City Link in Australia, Egis operates the electronic tolls of two major bridges in Vancouver (Canada) for two public sector clients, as well as the Tampa expressway in Florida.

e-bus

In 2013, Egis began research into the suitability of the electric bus concept (e-BRT) for urban transit, which subsequently led to studies comparing the different technical solutions from an economic viewpoint.

© E

gis

Egis has rounded out this expertise with world-acclaimed experiences in enforcement / penalties and in interoperability solutions. These solutions allow users to improve their everyday while guaranteeing authorities a certain revenue level and providing everyone with a very high level of service.

On new projects with significant street redevelopment, from the perspective of total cost of ownership, the e-BRT emerges as an economically viable solution (the saving made on fuel counterbalancing the cost of batteries for significant distances travelled in excess of 60,000 km/year).

► The concept was extended in 2015 by a CdC Lab (an in-house ideation competition at Caisse des Dépôts) under the supervision of Connexion (a Dutch bus operator and Transdev subsidiary). Work continued with the development of a suggestion box to deal with technical engineering issues prior to a project to migrate from diesel operations to “zero emission” operations.

► Integration of systems and equipment up until commissioning ► Operation and maintenance of collection and enforcement systems ► Definition and implementation of commercial policy ► Operation of back offices and relations with road user customers

The Philharmonie A PERFECT ALLIANCE OF STRUCTURE, ACOUSTICS AND FLUIDS

With its audacious architecture, the work of Jean Nouvel, and its auditorium comparable with the world’s leading symphony concert halls, this magnificent building dedicated to music has, from its beginnings, benefited from exceptional technical expertise. In particular, the concert hall required synergies between all of the technical packages, most notably the complex structure and the integration of fluid networks, made particularly challenging due to exceptional acoustic constraints. The furthest seat in the auditorium is only 32 metres away from the conductor!

Also worth noting

► Contracting authority: Association Philharmonie de Paris

► Architects: Atelier Jean NOUVEL & Mathieu FOREST ► Construction consortium: BOUYGUES, AXIMA, INEO,

ROSAU AN APPROACH TO IMPROVE URBAN RESILIENCE

Egis has developed the ROSAU approach, a simple and powerful solution designed for local authorities who wish to anticipate adverse effects of disruptions on the functioning of urban services in their towns. Based on a GIS tool (geographical information system), ROSAU enables users to identify and characterise the interdependencies of each urban component on other utility networks (electricity supply, drinking water, telecommunications, public transportation, etc.) The solution then assesses disruption scenarios and their resulting domino effects. These results form the basis for collaborative research to assess the town’s ability to react to deterioration or loss of services affecting all the town’s stakeholders. It is then possible to test various solutions (move a transformer, reorganise teams, arrange emergency circuits, etc.) to improve the town’s resilience. By anticipating the disruption to utilities, by improving the reliability of services and activities and by improving the functioning of cities, ROSAU is a comprehensive and operational all-round urban management tool! Read the Energy-Climate interaction guide, volume 2: Resilience

ROSAU receives a distinction at trade fair World Efficiency 2015!

The tool received the “Climate Change” award in the category “Innovation in technology” for its operation efficiency and positive impact on society

CAPITALISING ON ABANDONED, UNUSED OR UNDER-UTILISED URBAN SPACE

Also worth noting

© E

gis

A great many regions suffer from growing shortfall in land in urban zones, while numerous sites are left abandoned or are under-utilised in these same areas. Rehabilitating urban wasteland helps to:

► Increase the appeal of regions by facilitating the production of land at acceptable cost and without budgetary impact on the local authority

► Support economic growth by revitalising and re-establishing the appeal of urban wasteland

► Promoting sustainable urban development and protecting the environment by contributing to the growth of urbanisation and taking part in exemplary reconversion initiatives

Owners or public contacting authorities will be making increasing use of third party operators to conduct these complex operations which are growing in number as a result of demographic and real estate pressure and industrial decline. Phenix is based on this model and consists of developing an integrated offer encompassing the entire value chain, to accompany the conversion of wasteland to a brand new purpose.

► This service offer is open to public and private contracting parties and revolves around an operator/investor model developed with Caisse des Dépôts and which aims to be very flexible and open in terms of exit strategy. It would be made up of an engineering organisation bearing the design risk and an investment structure bearing the land risk

Métabolisme Paris AN INTERACTIVE APPLICATION

is an interactive application developed by Egis Group entity Elioth on behalf of the City of Paris in order to popularise the concept of urban metabolism towards policy makers, project leaders and citizens. To satisfy its needs, the city uses and transforms resources, generates inflows and outflows of energy, resources and water. Analysing these helps to gain a better understanding of the interaction of the city with its environment: how much electricity, gas, oil, heat, consumer goods, food and drinking water enter Paris each year? Does the city export more goods than waste? To what extent is it dependent on energy imports? Designed for the “Optimisation du Métabolisme Urbain” (Urban Metabolism Optimisation) call for projects launched by the City of Paris, the website presents over 40 local projects, examples of concrete circular economy solutions, already in place and functional: how can paving stones be reused rather than manufacturing new ones? How is the sand from Paris Plage recycled every year? How can waste be turned into reusable materials or energy?

Did you know ? ► Métabolisme Paris was nominated for the CityVis

award and was presented at the 2016 UN summit Habitat III held in Quito

BETTER PERFORMING ROADS IN TROPICAL COUNTRIES

Lateritic soil (containing laterite, a red rock) which forms by rock weathering in tropical climates, delivers excellent performances in the road building field it is compacted. Compaction is a technique used in civil engineering to improve the quality of soil for construction. Egis is currently conducting several laboratory research programmes as part of the classification method MCT* (Miniatura, Compactação e Tropical), in association with Professor Job Shuji Nogami from São Paulo University. The goal of this method is to improve knowledge relating to the mechanical and hydraulic properties of lateritic soil, firstly to reduce impact during road construction by maximising the use of existing materials on site, and secondly to control construction and maintenance costs in tropical climate countries.

Did you know ? ► In parallel to these experiments, Egis designs and

implements practical solutions to build low-cost roads from fine-aggregate lateritic soil, on nearly 12,000 km of local roads in the state of São Paulo in Brazil

Variways ASSESSING THE CARBON FOOTPRINT OF A ROAD PROJECT

Road infrastructure is behind more than 70% of carbon emissions caused by the transport sector. To control these emissions, Egis has designed an e-comparator of road alignment options, Variways®, which assesses the carbon footprint of a piece of road infrastructure during construction and operation phases by calculating two indicators: greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) and energy consumption. The only global approach of its kind on the market

Through calculated indicators, enabling decisions to be made closest to needs, Variways® quantifies GHG emissions and energy consumption according to project parameters relating to construction (earthworks, type of structure, road building materials, etc.) and operations (geometric profile, traffic, speeds).

Did you know ?

► Variways® has received two positive opinions from

IDRRIM for the operation phase (2013) and subsequently for the construction phase (2016)

► The tool was also selected in 2016 by Comité 21, the leading French network of sustainable development actors, as part of its “21 solutions for tomorrow” scheme highlighting initiatives to invent a sustainable world

► Helps decision makers to optimise their projects and make informed choices as to route options using maps, histograms, tables, etc

► GHG emissions are generated for each alternative

A NEW DIMENSION TO PROJECTS

The digital model is today at the very centre of design, construction and operations processes of structures. From the upstream phase, BIM enables the right choices to be made thanks to interactive simulation and the reversibility of solutions envisaged. The interoperable programmes in BIM encourage teamwork and communication between disciplines, helping to achieve greater project cohesion. From digital integration of data to 3D visualisation, stakeholders have new tools at their disposal to make productivity gains (cost and timeframe control) and improve the technical and energy performances of infrastructure.

Egis has made BIM its production standard. The digital model, which it uses to design and build a structure as closely attuned as possible to the needs of users, allows its clients and stakeholders to gain a better understanding of their projects. It fulfils their demands for digital continuity throughout the life cycle of their facilities (design, construction, operation).

As a pioneer in research, training and promotion of BIM among its partners, Egis has developed genuine expertise and earned particular recognition when it won the Silver BIM 2015 for the L2 motorway bypass in Marseille, entirely designed as a digital model.

Integration of

Developed by the firm Airborne Concept and the Egis group, the display of a mini-drone on the control screens of the French civil aviation authority (DGAC) constitutes a real first! This breakthrough was made possible by fixing an ADS-B (Automatic dependent surveillance – broadcast) transponder onto a multi-rotor drone.

A maiden mini-drone flight took place at Toulouse airport. The operation was highly successful and enabled the civil aviation authority DGAC to identify drones in airspace in the same way as it can identify aeroplanes.

Principle and outlook for the project The ADS-B transponder spontaneously emits messages, in particular its position and identity, on a radio frequency normally used in the aeronautical sector.

This ingenious concept fulfils the need to survey and facilitate the detection of drones in real time and thus counteract illegal overflight.

Did you know ? ► A patent common to both companies was filed

several months ago in the perspective of industrial development of this first proof of concept

AutoCad Civil 3D ASSESSMENT AND APPROPRIATION BY EGIS OF DRAINAGE MODULE

AutoCAD Civil 3D is capable of modelling a building’s data (BIM technology) for the documentation and design of public works.

A SIMULATOR DESIGNED FOR MOTORWAY TUNNEL OPERATOR TRAINING

The civil engineering software package AutoCAD Civil 3D includes design tools for use in civil engineering, analysis, topography and cartography.

Egis has developed the Civil 3D Drainage module. Its aim is to define the hydraulic and wastewater field in this tool and in particular with Egis rules.

It also aims to : ► create data libraries of structures, configured with

rules specific to Egis ► supplement the library of cross section designs with

drainage structures connected with the platform ► build an extraction process towards internal

calculation tools

SimCoach is a training module whose aim is to improve incident management on motorways or in tunnels.

Designed for operations centre officers (traffic and tunnel) and patrollers, it notably uses a 3D simulator which reproduces a virtual motorway environment and the end-to-end management of an incident according to a wide range of scenarios (an object on the road, a stray animal, an accident, a tunnel fire, equipment failure, etc.). It helps to improve skills and train staff in the application of procedures, internal and external communications with various stakeholders and the management of equipment.
