Building and maintaining railways
In 2008, Eurovia consolidated its offering in railway-construction services by acquiring ETF-Eurovia Travaux Ferroviaires. This subsidiary is a leader in various railway sectors, including railway construction and maintenance, urban transit, and industrial sidings.
ETF-Eurovia Travaux Ferroviaires makes Eurovia a leading player in rail systems
All around the world, the need for new rail infrastructure is growing, but so is the need for rail system upgrades and maintenance. In France alone, according to the government's environment round-table, 2,000 km of new high-speed lines and 1,500 km of light-rail lines must be built. In September 2008, in an effort to provide comprehensive services to this promising growth market, Eurovia acquired Vossloh Infrastructures Services and renamed it ETF- Eurovia Travaux Ferroviaires.
Urban transit - the Company's traditional business line - remains a strong and dynamic sector. Eurovia is the leader in France in the light-rail market, with systems already implemented in approximately 20 cities. Railways constitute yet another traditional business line for the Company: it undertakes new rail construction (particularly high-speed lines), upgrades and maintenance of national lines and industrial sidings, and the installation and maintenance of catenary wires. In France, Eurovia is among the three leading companies in this sector.
Sud Express Atlantique high-speed rail line
Réseau Ferré de France (RFF) has designated LISEA as the concession-holder for the Sud Europe Atlantique high-speed rail link. VINCI Concessions leads the consortium. VINCI Construction leads the design-build consortium, which includes Eurovia Infra, Eurovia GPI and ETF-Eurovia Travaux Ferroviaires. This 50-year contract covers funding, design, construction, operation, and maintenance for the 303-km high-speed rail line connecting Tours and Bordeaux.
Czech Republic: Reconstruction of the railway station at Přerov
A consortium that includes Eurovia CS was awarded a public contract for the reconstruction of the railway station at Přerov in Moravia, a major rail hub in the Czech Republic. This was the year's largest project awarded by the Czech rail authority. Work will upgrade the rail line between Prague and Ostrava, allowing trains to reach speeds of up to 160 km per hour.
Czech Republic: Votice-Benešov u Prahy rail corridor
On March 15, 2010, a project designed to upgrade the fourth rail corridor at Votice-Benešov u Prahy over an 18-km span was launched. The new rail line will enable trains to travel at speeds up to 160 km per hour and increase traffic capacity. The project also calls for the complete renovation of roadways, platforms, and engineering structures as well as the upgrade of catenary wires and the safety system.
Rail stations in the city of Votice and villages of Olbramovice, Bystřice, and Tomice will also be upgraded and an anti-noise barrier built. Work is scheduled to be completed in November 2013.
