The contract, worth €438 million, is part of the Grand Paris Express project, which includes adding 68 new stations and 200 kilometres of track to the Paris underground railway.
Ferrovial will bore 6.7 kilometres of tunnel between the Saint-Quentin Est and Versailles-Chantiers stations, in western Paris. The work, scheduled to take 104 months, also includes building three stations and eight ancillary infrastructures.
The tunnels will be excavated with a tunnel boring machine to overcome the difficulties posed by the Fontainebleau sands, near the SNCF railway line at Versailles. The project involves the recovery of excavated material, particularly sand.
