The administrative court of Nantes rejected a claim for compensation of 1.6 billion euros brought by the French Vinci group after the state abandoned the Notre-Dame-de-Landes airport project. AGO (Airport Grand Ouest (AGO)) - an 85% owned SPC by French construction group Vinci - was seeking almost €1.6 billion, believing that the government's January 2018 failure to agree to an agreement between AGO and the state the concession of airports, including Notre Dame Airport, was unfounded. According to its official website, Vinci Group operates 12 airports in France, including Lyon-Saint-Exupéry, Rennes-Brittany, Toulon-Hyères and Nantes-Atlantique airports, as well as 70 airports worldwide. #Rebuilding #Ukraine #Reconstruction #RebuildUkraine #realestate #UkraineReconstruction #realestateinvesting #infrastructure #projectfinance #donors #publicprivatepartnerships #infrastructureprojects #infrastructureinvestment #corporatetrust #investment #investing #investinukraine #investproject #circulareconomy #cooperation #international #ProjectFunding #EquityInvestment #CapitalInvestment #FinanceSolutions #ProjectDueDiligence #InvestmentBanking #FinancialClose #corporatebonds #InfrastructureDevelopment #infrastructurefinance #projectfinancing #BuildingBackBetter #ESG #Bankofindustry #ppp #SPV #alternativeassets #growthcapital #RenewableInfrastructure #institutionalinvestors #investmentmanager #privateequityinvestment #realestateinvestment https://lnkd.in/d5FRzFHH

I am pleased to annonce that yesterday Groupe SNCF and RATPgroup have entered into exclusive negotiations with Latour Capital and Fimalac with a view to opening up SYSTRA's capital. Through this operation, the new shareholders would hold a 60% stake in the Group, with the Groupe SNCF and RATPgroup each retaining a 20% stake in SYSTRA's capital. This operation is fully in line with our ambition to accelerate our growth strategy especially through a proactive acquisition policy in high-potential geographical areas. Over the past 12 months, +1,050 employees joined the Group thanks to 6 strategic acquisitions (SYSTRA Bamser, SYSTRA Subterra, SYSTRA Sverige, SYSTRA Danmark , SYSTRA Norge Consulting and Rail Systems Australia - now part of SYSTRA Group ) representing +€150m of revenues. #capital #systra #growth #externalgrowth #latourcapital #fimalac #sncf #ratp

[2/3] Going back from #SaudiArabia in #Riyadh where I could meet players #investing in #rail #development in Middle-East. With the introduction of Marc GUIGON I could discuss with our Transport General Authority (TGA) UIC - International union of railways #UICrail members especially: Bader Al Hujailan Thamir Alkhalifa Major topics were about: ✅ TGA acts as railway regulator in the Kingdom, so very attentive to #safety level. We discussed very concrete matters, following the principle that fragmentation of responsibilities could be an issue. ✅ The numerous projects need rail #expertise background, that #UIC can bring. ✅ An unseen mobility project of big big big mass transit (I won’t say too much), with restricted locations and timeframe. The challenges in terms of flow management and operations are amazing! #cooperation #railway #fortheplanet #modalshift #passenger #travel

🚇🛠 dotflow X RATPgroup Infrastructure: Underground Geolocation 🚇🛠 RATPgroup Infrastructures needs to precisely locate the Infrastructure Maintenance Vehicles (IMV) of the Metro network, whether in tunnels or elevated sections, and access data on the use of these vehicles, such as distance traveled and average speed. Founded in June 2023, dotflow is a technology startup. They design custom-built, GPS-free geolocation systems to meet the specific needs of their clients. 👉 The solution proposed by dotflow is a geolocation system, using pre-existing mapping data from the Infrastructure Manager (IM) and data from onboard sensors. What does this equipment allow? - Remote pinpointing of the IMV - Fine measurement of the route, distance traveled, and average speed 💬 Quote from Emmanuel Doucet: "This collaboration with RATP has given us the opportunity to test our technology in real-world conditions and meet the demands of the rail environment. The short sprint format of the Rail Open Lab and RATP's responsiveness have allowed us to rapidly advance the maturity of the system we are developing, to meet current and future challenges for infrastructure managers." 💬 Quote from Pierre CHAPUIS: "Thanks to the 'agile' mode of operation of the ROL and the expertise of Dotflow's teams, we were able to achieve a concrete and promising result in just 4 months. For an Infrastructure Manager like RATP, this experiment offers many opportunities." 🔍 Following this experiment, several points remain to be clarified before a potential deployment of the method across the entire fleet of IMVs. This includes the permanent integration of the system within existing vehicles, the reliability of databases, and the creation of a data pipeline to relay information to business applications.

📝 Expansion gaps are present at certain points of the railway infrastructure. 👉Expansion gaps are small spaces left between sections of train tracks. 🙌Here are some important insights : 👉These small gaps are left between sections of rail to allow for #thermal #expansion and #contraction due to temperature changes. 👉These gaps are important because they allow the metal rails to expand and contract as the temperature changes. ✓ When it's hot, the metal rails can get longer, ✓ And when it's cold, they can get shorter. 👉Without these gaps, the rails could warp or buckle, causing problems for trains. So, the gaps help keep the tracks safe and in good condition, no matter the weather. ➡️These gaps are essential for maintaining the safety and functionality of the railway 🚃 🚂 system.

Alstom continues to strengthen its position in the #tram market by starting deliveries of new seven-section models in #Lyon, this is reported by the #railway #transport news portal Railway Supply. The first of 35 ordered Citadis 402 trams was handed over to SYTRAL, the city’s #publictransport operator. This €115 million order was placed in September 2021, and the trams are now ready for operation. The #production of these trams involves seven Alstom plants in #France, with final assembly at the La Rochelle plant. The new trams are similar to previous models supplied by the company but feature an enhanced front section to improve driver visibility and pedestrian safety in case of collisions. The positioning of handrails has also been optimized for #passenger convenience. Each tram has a capacity of up to 287 people, ensuring efficient passenger flow service. Lyon’s current tram fleet consists of 106 units, including both five-section Citadis 302 models and the new seven-section Citadis 402. Additionally, SYTRAL has selected Alstom to modernize 47 Citadis 302 trams delivered in the early 2000s, underscoring trust in the company’s product quality.

🚦 🚅 ERTMS conference in Valenciennes, France, this April. The International Railway Journal reports: “ERTMS still faces some major challenges to accelerate its deployment in Europe.” THE ERTMS conference this April was opened by Mr Josef Doppelbauer, executive director of the European Union Agency for Railways (ERA), who set the scene. “Make it happen was the theme of this year’s conference,” he told delegates. “We need ERTMS to complete the Single European Railway Area (Sera). ERTMS and Sera are the basis for modal shift to rail.” (IRJ, 24) Read the full article here 👉 https://lnkd.in/edXBCiBN #ERTM24 #ertms #valenciennes

Managing the assets of a construction giant like Eiffage can be daunting. The group, whose activities range from energy and real estate to roads, civil engineering, building and metal, relies on a fleet of over 25,000 vehicles, 250,000 materials and 2 million pieces of equipment in batches. Optimizing asset management practices is crucial to enhance operational efficiency.
