In charge of leading the transformation project of the Plaerrer, a strategic multimodal hub in Nuremberg, Ingerop Deutschland is managing the urban project team to design a more functional and attractive public space. The project involves a complete reorganisation of the infrastructure: redistribution of roadways, reconfiguration of tram and bus lines, improved connections with the metro, and renovation of access
points. It also includes making the site accessible, creating dedicated spaces for pedestrians and cyclists, new urban amenities and new green spaces.

The goal is to optimise mobility, enhance accessibility, and improve quality of life, while ensuring the maintenance of existing functions throughout the construction work. This project is part of the master plan ‘Plaerrer becomes green’, ensuring a balanced approach between technical, aesthetic, and environmental requirements.

The project aims to increase the transport capacity of Saint-Domingue’s metro line 1 by adding ten trains and three Alstom Metropolis model 9000 vehicles. This involves overseeing the manufacturing and delivery of rolling stock units according to the planned schedule. Ingerop’s mission is to oversee the design, manufacture, testing and commissioning of rolling stock.

Ingerop ensures the reliability of the trains and compliance with specifications, notably by making sure that every delivered unit has passed the required tests: each unit must leave the factory having successfully completed the scheduled inspections. The inspection will then focus on preventive and operational reliability.

Ingerop, together with a local partner, serves as the project manager responsible for design check and supervising the construction work. The project involves developing and paving a 43.8 km stretch of the Route des Pêches, including access ramps.

This route has strong economic and tourist potential, serving in particular the palaces of Abomey, important regions for voodoo culture and the memorial areas of the former slave trading posts. The works include the construction of asphalt carriageways, six engineering structures (four composite bridges and two reinforced concrete girder bridges) and retaining walls. Interventions also include landscaping and the implementation of environmental and social measures.

Additionally, Ingerop is conducting studies for the implementation of a toll system to secure funding for infrastructure maintenance.

HS2 Phase 1 is a new high-speed line covering 225 km from London to Birmingham, UK. The HS2 Phase 1 Lot C1 Contract was awarded to ALIGN JV. This section consists of 21.6 km of high-speed rail line and
includes a viaduct, a twin-bore tunnel, earthworks, two road bridges, a footbridge and a wildlife crossing structure.

The Colne Valley viaduct is an iconic structure, 3.4 km long with approach embankments, stretching from the Northolt tunnel at the southern edge of the Colne Valley Regional Park up to the Chilterns at the northern end. It is set in a diverse and ever-changing landscape, made up of intertwined with forests and crosses major obstacles such as roads and a canal.

The Chilterns tunnel comprises two 16 km-long bored tubes beneath an area of outstanding natural beauty. There are five intervention shafts along the route, four of which are also ventilation shafts. Rendel and Ingerop contributed to the studies in the tender, project and execution phases and assisted the ALIGN JV design-build consortium made up lakes of intertwined during the construction work.

The Werra 2060 project is an ambitious initiative aimed at restructuring the K+S plant to extend its operation until 2060 and secure the supply of potash in Europe, a key element in fertiliser production and various industrial processes.

This operation is based on a substantial transformation of the plant to modernise its processes while integrating environmental protection practices and sustainable management. This includes considering the use of advanced technologies to reduce our CO2 emissions, improved water resource management, as well as strategies aimed at minimising waste and increasing the sustainability of our processes.

The Ingerop Deutschland teams support this initiative by providing assistance to the Owner.

• phase 3 – electrification of 118 buses with the installation of two new transformer centers, an upgraded low-voltage system, and a 696 kWp photovoltaic power plant,
• phase 4 – extension for 60 buses including adaptation of the medium-voltage ring, a new transformer centre, reinforcement of the low-voltage system, and a photovoltaic power plant 333.

This project embodies a commitment to developing integrated solutions that facilitate the energy transition and contribute to sustainable, innovative transport.

Refhyne 2 is a European initiative aimed at demonstrating the industrial feasibility of large-scale green hydrogen production, particularly for the mobility and industrial sectors.

This project focuses on producing hydrogen through water electrolysis powered by solar and wind energy, integrating it into the Shell refinery located in Wesseling, a suburb of Cologne, Deutschland.

Ingerop Deutschland is responsible for the design of buildings, infrastructure, and utilities for this European green hydrogen production demonstrator with a capacity of 100 MW.

Congo Terminal aims to enhance its capacity by adding two new quay berths and expanding its storage area through the construction of a new container terminal on the East Mole of Pointe-Noire port. The project plans to accommodate 400-metre-long container ships, requiring the adaptation of existing and future infrastructure to handle these large vessels.

The project includes both the design and construction of a new 750-metre quay, as well as the necessary dredging to accommodate large-capacity container ships. It also includes conducting a navigability study and a wave agitation study, as well as the essential embankments for the northern extension of the east mole.

Faced with the insufficient water resources on the south coast of KwaZulu-Natal, the Lower uMkhomazi water supply project aims to meet the growing demand. This large-scale project involves the construction of a water treatment plant with a capacity of 134 ML/day, incorporating a comprehensive recycling system.

Potable water will be transported through a 1400 mm gravity pipeline over a distance of 3 km, leading to a 35 ML storage reservoir. Ingerop in South Africa is managing the entire project: design, tendering, construction supervision and commissioning.

The State of Bavaria, via the Donauwörth water management service, is building a flood retention basin on the Mindel to protect the town of Burgau. This largescale project includes a retention capacity of 1.4 million m³. The basin is based on a slightly curved dam dike, 1.5 km long and 6 m high, as well as on four dam structures with several fields to regulate the retention area. The objective is to reduce the flow from 135 m3/s to 65 m3/s.

The project also takes into account the constraints related to the adjacent railway line and the federal highway, which require careful management of the interfaces.

The port of Garacad is a new container terminal under construction in the city of Garacad, Somalia.
