DIGITAL TECHNOLOGY AT THE SERVICE OF
STATION DESIGN
A station redefines a district over the long
term by restructuring spaces, flows and
landscapes. Our teams use digital mock-ups
to help stakeholders and local residents better
understand the project. New channels of
communication and decision support are used
from the upstream study phase, allowing, for
example, immersion during technical reviews.
MANAGING COMPLEXITY THROUGH BETTER
COLLABORATION
As engineers, we have guarantee to our
clients that the various eco-design choices
for a station are compatible with the project’s
constraints. The spatial, contractual and
technical coordination of all these elements
is facilitated by the use of digital mock-ups
and BIM (Building Information Modelling)
processes. Since 2010, we have deployed
these methods on the Rennes metro, then on
Grand Paris Express.
ASSET MANAGEMENT AND OPEX
OPTIMISATION
Today, many metro system owners are
considering setting up a digital twin of their
stations. This will provide a centralised and
reliable database of all assets managed
throughout the life of the installations and
allow them to prepare off-site maintenance
operations and then support on-site
engineering work. Egis supports asset
managers in setting up digital twinning as a
service platform and is gradually developing
other services based on digital twinning.

Riyadh
Egis has spent the last ten years in Saudi Arabia
supporting the Arriyadh Development Authority
(ADA), from the initial transport blueprint through to
the design studies for the first of the city’s lines, and
up to the construction procurement procedure.
Egis contributes to the project management and the
construction supervision of three lines of Riyadh’s
future metro network, covering 104 km altogether
and comprising 61 stations.
The entire six-line network represents a total
investment of almost 20 billion euros.
This is a truly exceptional project with its 88 stations
and 176 km of track including 59 km underground,
81 km elevated and 36 km at grade.

Paris Area
A leading figure in the urban development of the Paris region - Ile-de-
France - Egis has supported the Société du Grand Paris (SGP) in the
design and construction of the future Grand Paris Express metro from
the preliminary study phases.
Since the summer of 2013, Egis has been in charge of the systems EPC
management for lines 15 South, 16, 17, 18 and the infrastructure project
management for line 16, as well as the project management of the
Maintenance and Storage Facility for line 15, located in Champigny. Egis
also managed the infrastructure EPC management for line 15 East from
autumn 2016 to autumn 2019 (when lines 15 East and 15 West were
transferred to a Design & Build contract). Finally, Egis is in charge of the
General Planning, Scheduling and Coordination missions for lines 15
south, 16 and 17.
In 2017, Egis, Société du Grand Paris and their partners were awarded
the Bim d’Or award in the infrastructure project category for their
collaborative work around BIM on the future line 16 of Grand Paris
Express.

System & migration

Infrastructure development
Marseille - Fourragère
Extending the M1 line by 4 stations (2.6
km) has led to several adjustments being
made:
relocation of the OCC, modification of
the transmission networks, railway
signalling, audio-visual, radio and
telephone equipment, passenger
information systems and park-and-ride
facilities.
Marseille metro network:
• 2 lines
• 28 stations
• 21 km (3 km elevated and 18 km
underground)
Toulouse - Line A Improvement
The aim of the operation was to improve
the capacity of line A by operating
52-metre trains.
Egis acted as project manager for the
development of the Jean-Jaurès and
Esquirol stations, as well as conducting
a general contracting mission for the
project.
These improvements were carried out
while services continued, including the
migration of the technical premises,
the refurbishment of the platforms
to accommodate 52-metre trains and
the construction of a new connection
between two lines.

Thanks to its extensive experience, Egis
has been involved in many automatic
metro projects around the world.
In fully automatic systems,
the trainsets run without drivers and
safety headway are managed
automatically. The Control Centre
processes live information about the
trainsets and manages data concerning
the station equipment (lighting, ventila-
tion, etc.)

reconfiguring the line, replacing the current automatic
control system with a more efficient system and supplying
additional trains.
On the new m3 line, Egis is in charge of all phases of the
project, from design to commissioning.
The system used will be the same as on the m2 line in order
to ensure interoperability between the lines.
Lyon - Line B
Egis is currently in charge of the new extension of metro line
B to Hôpitaux Sud, as well as the "Avenir Métro" operation,
which involves the full automation of line B, with the
integration of new rolling stock. Egis is involved in all phases
of this project, from studies to testing and commissioning.
The studies have made it possible to define the programme
for the renewal of rolling stock, systems and automatic train
control systems, in particular by defining how to migrate
these new systems onto the lines.
The integration of new rolling stock and the migration will be
carried out in successive phases.
Lille double its capacity
On a fully automatic 45 km network, line 1 has increased its
capacity from 2 to 4 cars. As a result, the stations have been
specially equipped, the electrical and electromechanical
equipment has been upgraded and rolling stock has been
purchased in accordance with the new safety standards.
Mumbai
Line 3 of the Mumbai metro, which runs almost entirely
underground, will cross the island of Mumbai on a north-
south route over a distance of more than 30 km. It will
connect the south of the island to the centre of the island,
passing close to Mumbai International Airport. This
entirely automatic system will have 27 stations, 26 of which
underground.
Egis is in charge of project management and engineering for
this project.
Montreal - Blue Line
The Blue Line is seeing its first extension since 2007, taking
the line further westwards. At the same time, the project
includes the migration of the line to a CBTC system, the
creation of an underground maintenance centre for the
infrastructure and the installation of platform screen doors
doors on the orange line.
Egis is working on specific subjects such as system
integration, power, platform screen doors and CBTC.
