018 marks the 50
anniversary of Egis’s
experience in urban
and railway transport, since
the establishment of Semaly in 1968 by
the Lyon authorities for the construction
of what has today become one of the best
urban transport networks in Europe.
Over the years, Egis has expanded its
know-how and skills and has constantly
fostered initiative and innovation with
major milestones such as the high-
capacity automatic metro (Maggaly)
in the 1990s, or, more recently, the
“New take on the tramway” (Le tramway
autrement®) for medium-sized cities.
Today, our group is a leading light
in digital transformation solutions.
By 2020, BIM will be used on nearly 90%
of our design activity across all sectors.
In parallel, the company made a powerful
entrance in the railway sphere at the
beginning of the 2000s, at a time when
the French market was opening up
to competition and HSL lines were
developing in France and abroad.
Once again, Egis combined its expertise
and know-how to make its contribution
to the rail industry and in recent years
has successfully participated in the

of our mission is dependent on the use
and very utility of the projects that we
build every day with the men and women
who make up our teams.
Egis boasts more than 300 projects,
either commissioned or under
construction around the world, such
as the metros in Lyon, Doha, Grand Paris
Express, the Sud Europe Atlantique HSL
in France and the Kenitra-Tangier HSL
in Morocco, and the light rail systems
of Nice, Birmingham and Montpellier.

T o address this ambitious

challenge back in 2013,
we firstly had to convince
our partner Bouygues of the pertinence
of using BIM. It was clear that the project,
of which 60% of the distance is in a cut
and cover tunnel, was highly complex,
notably in terms of visibility and
disciplinary interfaces. The project’s
decision makers and some production
teams remained unsure of what BIM,
which hitherto had relatively few
references in line infrastructure, could
contribute to design. We worked together
to define and stabilise the items that
might lead to setting reasonable goals
for 3D modelling. From the design
of the project to construction and
even to operation, BIM facilitates the
management of interfaces between
the multiple constraints of the site such
as existing structures or the numerous
underground utility networks. On this
type of project, it is essential to be able

It is very rewarding to be able to guarantee
that work will progress according to plan
by simulating certain construction phases

In a sector subjected to constant
changes in regulations, BIM offers an
exceptional opportunity for adaptation,
analysis and consolidation whilst
ensuring that technical requirements
and environmental constraints are taken
into account. For the Marseille L2 bypass,
the level of finalisation was such that
BIM won over all the teams working on

Bruneseau calls on an
all-round form of engineering. This
project in particular mobilised cutting-
edge expertise to address energy and
environmental issues. To successfully
market the 11 buildings including four
tower blocks which will symbolise
the new connection between Paris
and Ivry, the buildings must display
an exemplary carbon footprint. In terms
of construction, two thirds of structural
elements will be made from wood,
including floors. In order to get around
the drawback of the flammability of the
material, new constructive solutions
were created. This project, an iconic
example of the environmental ambitions
of Paris City Hall, which aims to achieve
carbon neutrality by 2050, includes
within its design an objective of 50%
of energy produced or recovered
on site, a carbon footprint divided by five
compared with the average in Paris
and a target of 65% of energy
requirements met by renewable energy.
We therefore proposed that the future
district be supplied with renewable
and recoverable energy, notably using
heating and cooling generation networks
and the large-scale installation of solar
panels. Incorporating and managing

The idea is to absorb the infrastructure
and tone down the urban density to create
a genuine town centre. The real estate
programme, aiming to achieve a social
and functional mix, presents buildings
that are designed as vertical villages
offering a blend of residences for the
elderly, for students, social housing
or first-time buyer properties, retail
spaces, offices, etc. Another sizeable
challenge to be met was that of acoustics.
Special attention was given to the
soundproofing of facades and also to the
quality of air through a bioclimatic system.
Beyond the concentrate of innovations
that the project displays, it above all shows
a balance of uses. Furthermore, in the
last phase of the competition, our teams
recommended that this technology
be presented to the public. Exhibited
in the first eco-designed building, this
real-time energy generation demonstrator
will aim to sensitise inhabitants and fully
embed the ecology transition at the heart
of their way of life.

rban concentration and the
ever-increasing development
of communities entail
growing needs for mobility, at a time
when climate change is a challenge
that we all face.
Nowadays, modern mobility has
a duty not only to reflect the diversity
of expectations of city dwellers but also
to take into consideration the issues
of public health and greenhouse gas
emission control. This is why mobility
must necessarily be conceived within
the scope of the ecology and technology
transitions currently underway so that
we can guarantee future generations
the quality of life that we owe them.
In recent years we have expanded
our range of skills in response to
the challenges and needs of our public
and private sector clients. We are now
active across the full value chain, from
upstream consulting to the proposal
of veritable bundles of mobility services,
all for the direct benefit of populations.
Day after day, our teams demonstrate
their ability to develop the right
technological solutions, for example
to offer optimal access to different modes
of transport or adapt infrastructure
to the latest safety requirements.
Our teams offer ever more effective
services that help people get around
better every day. In the area of smart
parking, for example, we operate
in around 40 towns and cities in France
and abroad, with key references such
as Paris and Amsterdam.

Our solutions involve not only the
decongestion of urban space through
better vehicle rotation and organisation
of street parking, but also making users
more responsible for their own behaviour
and practices. When we draw up mobility
blueprints and master plans for our
clients, we additionally promote the
implementation of low emission zones
and thus lower pollution levels in our
communities, with a genuine desire
to “decarbonise” our city centres.
Over and beyond its primary function,
today’s mobility has become
a cornerstone of urban planning
policy, placing transport at the heart
of a city life refocussed on the place
of the user. Smart cities require genuine
intermodality that organises and
enables smooth connections between
one transport mode and another
according to needs and temporalities.
This rationalises all our efforts over
the years in developing multimodal
interchange hubs in the largest cities
and reinforcing the space dedicated
to green and alternative modes of
transport. Reinventing mobility is
undoubtedly a technical and institutional
challenge of monumental scale, but it
is truly imperative if we wish to promote
new, more responsible travelling
practices.
From soft mobility to the
sustainable use of the car and from
electric vehicles to autonomous
transportation, the mobility of the
future must not only fit in with new
urban rhythms, but it must also
be energy and resource efficient
in order to play its full role
in a carbon-free society.

New Coastal Road,
Reunion Island
Egis is at the helm of the
largest project ever undertaken
in the Indian Ocean: the New
Coastal Road, a gigantic piece
of infrastructure running
12.5 km combining causeways
and viaducts built above the sea.
In 2018, the project took
a decisive step forward with
the assembly of most of the
piers and deck segments

A
key vector for the economic
development of Reunion
Island (60,000 vehicles per
day), the New Coastal Road is a 12.5 km
combination of causeways and viaducts
built above the ocean. Its main purpose
is to offer a remedy to the insecurity
of the current coastal road between
Saint-Denis de la Réunion and Le Port,
often prone to rockslides and cyclonic
swell. Back in 2011, when Egis won
the EPCM contract put out for tender
by the Reunion Regional Authority for
the design and construction of the road,
we documented all the natural data and
technical constraints and challenges
that the new structure would be required
to satisfy. The viaduct, 5,400 m long
and 28.90 m wide, is built on 48 piers in
ENERGY
the sea. It was designed to resist events
such as hundred-year cyclone tides and
sea vessel collisions, while its six lanes
of traffic include two for a segregated
light rail line.
Building a structure in the sea and in
a cyclone-prone region required a series
of special measures. Virtually all of the
viaduct was prefabricated on land then
transported and assembled on site using
a huge barge the size of a football pitch
for the pier blocks (with loads weighing
up to 4,800 tonnes) and a 2,500-tonne
launch beam for the deck segments.
The viaduct must meet very stringent
quality standards in order to guarantee its
durability in a marine environment which
is extremely aggressive for structures.
© Egis
2018 A C T I V I T Y REP ORT
As the Engineer of the project,
Egis had to meet some very ambitious
performance targets to avoid, reduce
and offset any impacts on biodiversity.
A series of detailed and innovative
environmental surveys led to
specifications which were included in the
construction tenders (ecology, marine
acoustics, sedimentology). Among the
most significant of these, we installed
anti-SPM (suspended particulate matter)
barriers to protect the coral reefs,
contributed to the installation of eco-
reefs at the base of some of the piers to
promote the development of ecosystems,
installed submarine acoustic shields
(bubble curtains) to avoid disturbing
marine species, checked before any noisy
work that there were no sea mammals
in the area by flying over with microlites,
and finally we suspended some night
time lighting during sensitive periods
to prevent beaching by marine birds,
some of which are native to Reunion
Island. These flagship measures are
perfectly in tune with the potential for
development, protection and promotion
of Reunion. The construction investment
amounts to 1.6 billion euros. 
With its construction
spearheaded by Egis’
multidisciplinary teams,
the New Coastal Road is
a one-of-a-kind structure
in France and will be one
of the symbols of Reunion
Island in the 21st century.

The Golfo Centro project is for the
operation, maintenance and renovation
of three toll road sections (142 km) over
13 years, connecting the centre of the
country, Mexico City, with the port
of Tuxpan on the Gulf of Mexico.
This contract, which began on 1st February
2018, provides for the modernisation
of manual tolling and electronic tolling
equipment, traffic regulation facilities,
and the renovation of road infrastructure.
By following the MRO (maintenance –
renovation - operation) model, we have
always pursued the objective of extending
the lifespan of equipment and installations
by providing effective maintenance
to guarantee the best possible safety
to users. The technology used in Mexico
is identical to that developed in Europe,
such as fibre optics and emergency
call-out services. However, in view of
the growing trend in smartphones use,
the traditional SOS phones have been
replaced by a Wi-Fi solution accessible
to users wherever they are on the
highway, thereby improving the interface,
the communication and assistance
to users. This proficiency was furthermore
illustrated through two other contracts
for the operation of the Atlacomulco-
Maravatío highway (centre of the country),
considered as a national reference,
and, more recently, the Jala-Compostela
highway (in the west of the country).
2018 was a productive year in terms
of growth and customer satisfaction.
We expect to accelerate our development
in Mexico, but also increase our footprint
in Latin America where we are already
monitoring several large projects
in Colombia and Peru.

T he management of very large
projects entails addressing
a range of regulatory and
environmental constraints. Situated
on a listed heritage site, ParisLongchamp
proved to be no exception to the rule.
Requiring several administrative
authorisations relating to the Building
and Environment codes, the refurbishment
of the racecourse, on which the Prix de
l’Arc de Triomphe is run every year, was
the subject of many discussions lasting
ten years with Paris City Hall and the
French architecture regulator Architecte
des Bâtiments de France. Our client
France Galop, a not-for-profit organisation
which runs six racecourses and three
training centres, brings together a
range of different profiles with similarly
varied interests: owners, trainers,
breeders, jockeys and enthusiasts.
Success thus depends on listening to all
the stakeholders. The choice of project
contributors, the design, planning
permission and construction phases
are above all issues based on people.
Egis’ know-how in the field is a genuine
asset to support our clients in delivering
on their ambitions. It is our job to
anticipate and prepare the projects
in advance to ultimately bring about
a consensus.
While the general public’s waning interest

for the whole project, all within a strict
conservation framework: energy and
water efficiency, careful attention paid
to biodiversity, fauna and flora, and more
specifically to the existing plane and cedar
trees which epitomise the racecourse
and constitute a guarantee
of a high-quality horse racing
environment. Care for wildlife life was
essential to the success of this project
and its conservation was planned in the
finest detail. One illustration of this is
the two magnificent cedar trees that
grow through the very middle of the
construction under the watchful eye
of the peregrine falcon rehoused
in a nesting box placed specifically
there for it.
Working to deliver this project over
a period of more than ten years, the Egis
team accompanied the organisation
to overcome the challenges and deliver
work of the highest quality, acknowledged
