On July 18th, 2008, CUB assigned the Consortium to conduct the full engineering for the extension of the network of public transport with dedicated lane-tramway, together with the contract related to the transverse general studies and systems for the whole network extension.

The tramway network extension includes 15.2 kms of new tracks extending:

• Line A up to Mérignac-Les-Pins and the western by-pass (3.1 km),
• Line B up to the Alouette junction in Pessac (3.6 km) passing by the Haut-L’Evêque and Xavier Arnosan hospitals and the Alouette station,
• Line B up to the Activity Pole of northern Bordeaux (1 km),
• Line C towards the south up to Bègles (3.8 km) and towards the north up to the Bordeaux conference centre (3.7 km).

The mission includes full engineering services (from design to work supervision).

The extension towards Northern Bordeaux includes tramway crossing of the wet dock on a revolving bridge.

This 11-kilometer express bus project, connecting the Pellegrin district of Bordeaux to the Thouars district in Talence and Barthez-Malartic in Gradignan, aims to achieve “zero direct emissions” and will offer battery- or hydrogen-powered buses. Ingerop is committed to a comprehensive sustainable development approach for this project, namely through HQE Sustainable Infrastructure certification, making this BRT system a showcase for the Bordeaux metropolitan area’s 2020-2030 Mobility Strategy. This new, efficient and comfortable public transport service will also provide an opportunity to continue developing active modes of transport in order to reduce car use and improve accessibility for all.
