Eiffage, SARPI (Veolia) and CEMEX won the contract awarded by Société du Grand Paris for the management and use of excavated materials from the construction of line 15 East of the Grand Paris Express.

The total amount of the contract amounts to more than 200 million euros, divided into a third for each partner. The consortium will be responsible for receiving, characterising, treating, storing, transporting, and recovering or disposing of the 7.5 million tonnes of excavated materials during the works.

The stakes of this market are major, both in terms of characterisation and recovery of excavated materials and logistics. The latter will be organised in such a way as to optimise trips by receiving the excavated materials on transit platforms close to the worksite areas. Once the excavated materials have been characterised, the group will transport it to the most appropriate management channels, thus enabling the recovery of 99% of the excavated soil.

The consortium is committed to the environmental plan by favouring the river transport up to 60%, with the aim of reducing the carbon footprint of the project.
