Press release
A consortium formed of Eiffage, SARPI (Veolia) and CEMEX is announcing it has been awarded the "GEME" contract by the Société du Grand Paris to manage and use the material excavated during construction of Line 15 East as part of the Grand Paris Express project. The contract is worth over €200 million, with a one-third share for each partner.
The consortium, led by Eiffage through its Eiffage Génie Civil subsidiary, will be responsible for taking delivery, assessing, processing, storing, transporting and reusing or disposing of the 7.5 million tonnes of materials to be excavated during the works.
The renewable 84-month contract is the first to have been awarded by Société du Grand Paris for Line 15 East. In parallel, two design-and-build calls for tenders are being held for the construction of the line that will connect Saint-Denis Pleyel station with Champigny Centre station in the future.
The contract brings major challenges in terms of both assessing and reusing the excavated material and also the logistics. Logistics operations will be organised to minimise journeys by handling the excavated materials at transit hubs close to the project sites. Once the excavated materials have been assessed and classified, the consortium will send them to the appropriate processing channels, so 99% of the excavated soil can be reused.
The consortium has made an environmental commitment to ship 60% of the excavated material by river so as to reduce the project's carbon footprint. Under the consortium's social commitments, 5% of the project hours will be devoted to social employment plans offering opportunities to the long-term unemployed and over 20% of services will be subcontracted to local SMEs.
Eiffage is one of Europe's leading construction and concessions companies. The Group's activities are organised around the following business lines: construction, real estate and urban development, civil engineering, metal, roads, energy and concessions. Thanks to the experience of its 73,500 employees, Eiffage generated revenue of €18.7 billion in 2021, of which 27% was outside France.
Eiffage Génie Civil actively specialises in all aspects of civil engineering. Its teams are involved in numerous projects in France and other countries, from design through to construction, repair and maintenance, as well as demolition.
