EIFFAGE, A COMMITTED PATRON Following renovation of the Buren columns at the Palais Royal and the Zambelli rotunda at the Garnier opera house, Eiffage has once again shown its commitment to the arts with the refurbishment of the Paris Picasso Museum. In July 2013, the Group, via its Eiffage Construction division, signed a skills spon- sorship agreement to carry out work on the administrative and logistics site in rue de la Perle, at the same time as work on the Hôtel Salé. The building, acquired by the Paris Picasso Museum, now houses its administrative offices and archives. Eiffage took charge of part of the works to refurbish, renovate and remodel existing areas to suit their new purpose, including staff offices, the museum’s internal documentation centre, workshops and reserves, as well as works to upgrade the building to current technical and regulatory standards.

MONTPELLIER: ONE MILLION CUBIC METRES OF EARTHWORKS TO REROUTE THE A9 MOTORWAY

€133 MILLION

Vinci Autoroutes awarded the earthworks, engineering works, reestablishment of communications and roadways (TOARCCh) contract for the rerouting of the A9 motorway project in Montpellier (Hérault) to Eiffage TP. The contract concerns a 10 kilometre section of the motorway (5.5 kilometres of widening works and 4.5 kilometres of new roadways), one million cubic metres of earthworks, several civil engineering works, 15 kilometres of noise reduction barriers, a major sanitation programme, 250,000 tons of surfacing, and represents a total investment of €133 million. The works, mobilising up to 250 people, started in late April 2014 and should be completed by the end of 2017. A new section of the motorway will be opened up to the public, and the current alignment will be transformed into an urban through road.

LYON-TURIN RAIL LINK: EIFFAGE IS GETTING INVOLVED €350 MILLION

In May 2014, Lyon Turin Ferroviaire, the owner of the eponymous future railway link between the two cities, signed a contract with a Franco-Italian consortium that includes Eiffage TP, to carry out reconnaissance engineering works along the proposed 58 kilometre cross-border tunnel route between Saint-Jean-de- Maurienne (Savoie) and Suse (Piémont). The result of a European tender process initiated in late 2012, the project is expected to start in early 2015 and be completed within a maximum of 120 months. It aims to resolve any remaining geological questions and determine the appropriate excavation methods for the future tunnel. A reconnaissance gallery of approximately 9 kilometres in length, which will form part of the final structure, will be drilled using a tunnel boring machine. 3.5 kilometres of galleries will be excavated using traditional methods.

This project combines an extension of existing bio-filtration works and the construction of a new treatment facility. Total cost of the works amounts to over €750 million (including more than €400 million for the civil engineering works).

Eiffage Énergie is actively involved in this interior design project (€2.3 million) that will offer visitors several coloured fountains and a starry sky! 80% of the lighting equipment has been specifically designed for the project. Since Euralille is due to stay open throughout the works, most of these will be carried out at night but need to avoid disturbing guests sleeping in the hotel located directly above.

APPR A facelift for the network’s oldest toll plaza

The APRR network’s oldest toll plaza has been completely refurbished. Located on the A6 motorway about thirty kilometres north of Lyon (Rhône), the Limas toll plaza is now equipped with 34 lanes: 10 lanes for network entrance and 24 for network exit.

GRAND PARIS: all systems go!

In spring 2014, the Eiffage Travaux Publics division was selected by RATP (Île-de-France transport authority) to build the first section of an extension to line 14 of the Paris metro. This operation marks the beginning of work on the that plans to develop 205 kilometres of new metro lines. Similarly, Eiffage Immobilier, supported by Eiffage Aménagement, is one of six developers that were awarded contracts in December 2013 to build the Ardoines mixed-use development at Vitry-sur-Seine (Val-de-Marne), one of the first programmes being built around the 69 future Grand Paris stations. This is a great opportunity for Eiffage to demonstrate once again its capacity to support public works projects. Eiffage is indeed at the forefront when it comes to developing and providing appropriate solutions for the various areas in Île-de-France that are part of this landmark project, which will be mobilising many of the Group’s divisions.

ON FOCUS sents the first stage of the Grand Paris pro- ject. This is a complex project because the Work on line 14 was officially launched in June 2014, Porte de Clichy. Group’s teams need to work within a limited area, in a dense urban environment, ensuring the remo- val of 360,000 cubic metres of earthworks and reducing sound and visual disturbance to a minimum. For this reason, the access shafts will be covered by soundproofed cover slabs. The tunnel and the stations will be constructed at least 25 metres below ground, which means that vibrations will be almost undetectable. Tunnelling will be carried out in two phases. Once excavation of the Pont-Cardinet station is complete, a first earth pres- sure TBM will be installed. As of autumn 2015, it will take six months to drill the 1,500 metres of tunnel between Pont- Cardinet and Saint-Lazare. Then in early 2017, the TBM back-up train will be brought back to its starting position, attached to a second shield, and will begin the nine months drilling work to complete the remaining 1,900 metres of tunnel between Pont-Cardinet and Clichy/Saint-Ouen. The station will occupy the final 200 metres.

Following four months of preparations, the first works began on 1st August 2014. Our subsidiary Eiffage TP Fondations began the special foundation works at the site of the future Porte de Clichy station. The STIMONIAL STIMONIAL “two hydro mill trench cutting operations T E were launched to enable construction of slurry walls for the two stations.

Eiffage teams are going to be digging twenty metres below the foundations of buildings in Paris and so will be carrying out structural monitoring works to ensure that tunnel excavation is not generating any problems above ground. There are currently around twenty Eiffage TP management staff and twenty workers based at the site. In autumn 2015, when the civil engineering works start, this will increase to around 100.” The extension of metro line 14 will alleviate congestion on the overcrowded line 13 north of Saint-Lazare

Transport fleet: Eiffage is encouraging responsible behaviour The Eiffage group, which has a fleet of more than 20,000 light vehicles (from utility vehicles to company cars), is committed more than ever to encouraging responsible behaviour in this area, favouring the rational use of the fleet over all the entities of the group and promoting new types of mobility. In this respect, Eiffage intends to promote the use of electric vehicles – including the Kangoo and Zoe models made by car manufacturer Renault, a partner of the Group. The idea is to integrate these vehicles into the renewal programmes for small vans and company cars, whenever they are adapted to the activities being carried out (car sharing vehicles or inter-site transfers, maintenance activities at customer sites, activities in urban areas ...). Ultimately, the target is for at least one in ten vehicles ordered to be electric. Electric vehicles contribute to Eiffage’s environmental commitment to reducing CO2 emissions, fine particle pollution and noise pollution. They also help to meet customer expectations – both among local authorities and private companies - in terms of image and sustainability. Using its expertise in electrical engineering, Clemessy carried out a specific research project entitled Sysolar, which combines charging stations for electric vehicles with the production of electricity using photovoltaic panels. For greater efficiency, the panels are mounted on a pole called a “sun tracker” that rotates to follow the direction of the sun. This system increases Jean-Luc Lagresle from Eiffage Énergie production by 35%-40% compared with fixed solar panels. — uses an electric Kangoo model.
