A 100% Multiexpertise consortium led by Guintoli (leader), OLICHON, TSO CATENAIRES, TSO SIGNALISATION, EHTP, LACIS and SAGES RAIL has carried out the complete restructuring of the Nantes-Blottereau railway platform, covering more than 10 hectares. 
This project is part of the redevelopment of the Ile de Nantes and the transfer of Nantes État rail activities to Nantes Blottereau. 

This project involves repairing the various existing sorting lines and modernising the depot and the twenty or so service tracks. The aim is to create new facilities so that the site can meet the new challenges facing the rail system: facilitating freight train traffic and optimising the management of passenger trains and the logistics of rail works.

The scope of the works includes:

  • Earthworks and external works
  • Removal and laying of tracks and removal of catenaries
  • Sewerage work, fire-fighting network and civil engineering work on cables and temporary lighting 

This project demonstrates the strength of the Multiexpertise system in carrying out the most ambitious projects, as well as the commitment of its teams to a strong environmental approach, through the implementation of concrete measures for the recycling of materials.

 

CSR & Innovation

  • 20% of earthworks recycled on site using screening and crushing methods
  • 40% of site materials reused by SNCF
  • 40% of site materials recycled on NGE worksites in the Nantes conurbation
