Ferrovial, through its Construction division, in consortium with French companies Spie batignolles génie civil and Spie batignolles Valérian, has been awarded a contract to build a section of Paris Metro line 18, in France. The contract is worth EUR 438 million. The work is part of the Grand Paris Express program, Europe’s largest infrastructure project, which includes adding 68 new stations and 200 kilometers of track to the Paris underground railway. Under the contract, Ferrovial will bore 6.7 kilometers of tunnel between the Saint-Quentin Est and Versailles-Chantiers stations, in western Paris. The work, scheduled to take 104 months, also includes building three stations and eight ancillary infrastructures. In line with the company’s commitment to the environment, the tunnels will be excavated with a tunnel boring machine to overcome the difficulties posed by the Fontainebleau sands, and near the SNCF railway line at Versailles. The consortium has set ambitious targets for the recovery of excavated material, particularly sand
