Types of services
The cross-border section of the Lyon-Turino railway line is a new railway line of about 67 km linking Saint Jean de Maurienne in France to Suze in Italy and Bussoleno where it connects to the historic Turino-Modane line. In particular, the line requires the excavation of a 57.5 km single-track twin-tube tunnel known as the “Montcenis base tunnel”.
On the French side, the civil engineering of the base tunnel is divided into 3 operational worksites.
The construction management of the 08-operating site, led by a consortium formed by Egis tunnels (leader)/ Ingérop/Alpina/Géodata, includes the construction of the following works:
- The construction of a site platform at Villard Clément at the head of the future French side
- Preparatory construction for access to the future tunnel head (high-level temporary lining, mass earthworks, special ground reinforcement work),
- Excavation and lining of the two tubes of the base tunnel and the linking galleries over about 3 km,
- The construction of a cut-and-cover tunnel about 140 m long at the connection between the entrance to the base tunnel and the cut-and-cover tunnel under the A43 motorway already constructed as part of another construction package,
- The construction of the networks and water drainage system at the tunnel exit, the backfilling and definitive site installations
Characteristics
- Multiple interfaces work with the existing (buildings, infrastructures, networks) and other construction sites of the project (construction civil engineering sites, processing of excavated materials)
- Carrying out additional geotechnical and topographical studies, ICPE (Classified facilities for Environmental protection) files
