The Moroccan capital has cashed in on the fantastic economic growth of recent years, but this hasn’t prevented drawbacks such as congestion or pollution. That’s why, with the help of Egis, the Rabat and Salé local authorities and the Bouregreg valley development agency started up an ambitious high capacity light rail project to connect the two urban hubs and their generators, the railway station, shopping centres, hospitals and universities.

Opened in May 2011, this state-of-the-art system proved to be a hit with the public, judging by the high rush-hour occupation rates of its 60m train sets.

In keeping with its tradition and credo, Egis went beyond the role of an EPCM to become a long-term partner of the local authorities, sharing its expertise to accompany and support the wider transformation of the Bouregreg valley.

sharing power… and reducing operating costs

Everyone agrees that energy saving should be one of the top concerns of modern transport networks. And at Egis we were the first to recommend introducing an innovative energy recuperation system into Lyon’s public transport network. Collecting the energy generated from LRT vehicles when they brake, the sub-stations spread across the network can make this energy available to LRT and other public transport systems that run on electricity, such as underground trains or electric buses. An efficient, intelligent and forward thinking initiative.

innovation in electrics

With new light rail systems being built and extended in big European cities, those that stand out are the ones that display the best innovation. At Egis, we made our contribution to a new approach to power through our role in two light rail lines in France without overhead contact lines: in champagne capital Reims on 1.9 km of track, and in Orleans in the Loire Valley, over 2.1 km of the city’s second line, opened in 2012.

Paris and region coordinAting cApitAL projects

It’s not just a metro: Paris is also home to a number of light rail lines, developed progressively over the past fifteen years. The density of the urban environment and adapting to the many route obstacles represent a big challenge for any new project here. And the legal set-up too is complex: transport systems in the Paris region tend to have more than one public body as owner, which means that good interfacing is critical to success.

Egis has contributed its organisational skills and experience of complex environments to the Paris region on two projects in particular: the T3 line where exemplary coordination of all the project engineering firms led to completion in record time, and the T6 line under construction, the first tyre-mounted LRT in Paris, comprising an underground section and integrating densely populated surroundings, which is calling on all of Egis’ EPCM expertise right through to 2015.

makiNg our mark across thE world

As a recognised leader in designing and implementing light rail solutions, we are proud to make our expertise available internationally. Our globe-trotting teams of experts have carried out assignments in a wide range of geographical destinations around the planet, upholding our reputation for designing and implementing world-class transport systems.

Algeria here to stAy

Like its European neighbours across the Mediterranean, Algeria has embraced light rail as a modern transport solution for its inhabitants. Egis is proud to have been part of this ambition for the last ten years, supporting the country in its urban enhancement.

From feasibility studies to engineering and commissioning, Egis is a consistent, long standing consultancy provider to EMA, the body responsible for all of Algeria’s guided transport systems. This constantly renewed trust has also been earned by applying one of Egis’ basic principles: every transport system is different and its integration has to take into account the specific geographical and urban characteristics, population and employment catchment area of each individual city.

EMA’s master plan is to establish light rail systems in the vast majority of the nation’s big cities, and Egis is also playing a key role in this implementation plan.

Nicer in NiceThe capital of the French Riviera has entrusted Egis with the management of the entire light rail project, which will take passengers from the city centre out to the airport and multimodal hub. Given Nice’s dense, historic urban environment, the line will also run underground for 3.7 km, a challenge compounded by city’s unique geological and hydrological features. But with our specialist technical expertise in underground solutions, Egis deals perfectly with this complexity, managing every phase of the project from preliminary studies through the design stage to delivery and the guarantee period.

Designing the moscow of tomorrow

The Russian capital is looking ahead, and recently launched a competition for development projects for the metropolis. A Franco-Russian team incorporating Egis and its subsidiary Atelier Villes & Paysages was one of the prize winners, notably with our transport and LRT recommendations.

Elsewhere, in partnership with local body MGTP, we also carried out studies to modernise and extend the city’s existing LRT network, to offer Muscovites a more attractive transport system.

going for goal in Brazil

Our worldwide presence covers every continent, including South America, with our notable contribution to the design of an LRT system in Goiânia, Brazil’s 11th largest metropolitan area, boasting a population of over 2 million. Here, we carried out feasibility studies into the city’s first LRT line, running 15 km in an east-west axis, both over and underground, as part of a PPP.

The iconic 5-line and 70 km light rail system in Portugal’s economic capital is a smart blend of three technologies: regional and urban light rail and also underground metro, as the historical city centre classed as UNESCO World Heritage required the system to run below the ground. But Egis’ successful engineering and construction of the network, voted best new realisation by the UITP in 2008, also stems from our capacity to work within the framework of concessions and public-private partnerships (PPPs). With our results-based approach and our wide-ranging knowledge of systems and design and construction activities, we have the unique ability to efficiently drive all the different group members towards the same goal of time and budget compliant commissioning.

Colombia: promoting LRT projects as concessionaire

We are proud to be a key player in the very inception of new LRT projects in Colombia, contributing our know-how and experience to benefit this fast-developing South American nation, thanks to its recent law allowing public-private associations and privately-managed initiatives.

As partner of two concession consortia in Bogota, we conducted preliminary feasibility studies into two LRT lines in the Colombian capital, totalling over 22 km. And in Cartagena, a popular tourist destination and a UNESCO World Heritage site located on the coast, we, as leading partner of another concession consortium, carried out a preliminary feasibility study for a light rail line running along the coast to serve both tourists and the local population.

In France’s third largest city, travel between airport and city centre has become much easier with the launch in August 2010 of Rhônexpress, a true innovation in guided transport as it shares a light rail line with a city LRT line in the urban area before taking to newly-converted conventional rail track out of the city. Rhônexpress introduces a new alternative to heavy passenger rail in suburban areas and is a model for future projects.

With two clients: a local authority and the privately-owned consortium which now operates the line, Egis’ in-depth familiarity with both environments was crucial to the success of the project. Additionally, Egis made a huge contribution to keeping within budget and the tight design and construction timeframe dictated by financial constraints.

Operated networks going further every dAy

It’s not just in the design and construction of new LRT systems that Egis excels. As a long term partner to transport system owners, Egis contributes to the optimisation of the life cycle of operated systems and components as they age - and that means continuous performance at best cost.

With systems launched over 20 years ago, LRTs in the French cities of Grenoble, Nantes and Strasbourg are great illustrations of this. Egis brings into play its extensive system knowledge and experience of the urban environment in order to forecast, plan and carry out maintenance and replacement works on rails and track bed, signalling, overhead wires and power, with minimal disruption to traffic.

LRT owners are safe in the knowledge that with Egis, they can call on the expertise of a true asset manager.
