Owing to its unique know-how in the fields of metro network design and operation, which is derived

from its experience in Paris, SYSTRA has been involved in the creation and development

of many metro systems worldwide: Mexico City, Santiago in Chile since the Sixties, Cairo,

the first metro in the African continent and the Middle East since 1987,

and the large modern urban areas of New Delhi and Shanghai right now.

MexicoMexico CityThe Mexico City metro network, one of the largest worldwide currently totals 11 lines over 201 km, and with 175 stations; it carries4.5 million users every day. The creation of thisnetwork began in 1967 and SYSTRA has beeninvolved in all the stages of its development,producing the following services:•Technical studies;•Preparation of the calls for tenders for thesupply of the fixed installations and rollingstock;•Production control;•Supervision of the setting up of the fixed installations and rolling stock;•Training of the technical personnel;•Placing into operation and assistance to ope-ration and maintenance.

Lines A, B and 8: For the last three linescommissioned in 1992 (line A), 1994 (line 8) and2000 (line B), the mission of technical assistanceentrusted to SYSTRA was mainly concerned

with electro-mechanical aspects; in addition,SYSTRA was involved in civil engineering, sys-tems engineering and the quality control ofimported installations.

Lines 1, 2 and 3: In March 2003, in order toprepare the launching of a program for thecomplete overhaul of lines 1, 2 and 3, sche-duled to begin in November 2003, SYSTRA was requested to prepare an overall survey ofthe condition of the installations and to definethe parameters for their renovation.

The line was inaugurated in October 2000. It is8.5 km long and has 6 stations.Between 2005 and 2007, SYSTRA was alsoappointed to prepare the basic design for the Golden Horn Bridge as part of the extension of line 1.

AlgeriaAlgiers As early as 1983, SYSTRA was involved in pre-paring urban transport studies for Algiers. Thestudies highlighted the large volume of traffic,which justified the choice of a metro system,identified a corridor running along the sea-front as the route for line 1, and revealed certain constraints which meant that it wasnecessary to opt for an underground metro. The first phase – a 9 km stretch from Haï el Badrto Tafourah Grande Poste (Central Post Office) –has been identified as a priority. Work on theTafourah Grande Poste – Hamma section, tothe east, was carried out by local contractorsduring the nineties. In 2003, the Algiers MetroCompany appointed SYSTRA to manage theproject for construction of the Hamma - Haï elBadr section, which is 4.2 km in length.Since 2005 SYSTRA has also been providingassistance to the Algiers Metro Company withsupervision of designs, equipping and instal-lation of fixed equipment for all systems forthe whole of phase 1, including stations, rollingstock and workshops. Peak-hour traffic is esti-mated at 21,000 passengers an hour in eachdirection when the line comes into service inlate 2008/early 2009.

EgyptCairoThe placing into operation in 1994 of the Cen-tral Control Office for the regional line of Cairometro was the keynote in this major projectwhich involved 42 km of lines and 33 stations,providing transport capacity for 60,000 passen-gers per hour in each direction.

The milestones in the thirty year long coopera-tion between SYSTRA and the Egyptian autho-rities included:•Production of the transport plan for GreaterCairo (1969-1972);•Conceptual design for a metro networkconsisting of a regional line and two urbanlines (1975-1978);•Assistance to Owner for the constructionalengineering for the regional line (no. 1) andfor operation and maintenance (1981-1994);•Since 1990, resumption of the conceptual anddetailed design for line 2, an urban line (19 kmand 18 stations) which took place in four stages: assistance to placing into operation ateach stage of its construction from 1996 to2000, assistance to operation and to mainte-nance;

•Review of the transport plan for GreaterCairo and definition of the main characteristicsfor line 3 in 1999.

Line 3: SYSTRA produced in 2001-2002 designwork for the future line 3 of Cairo metro. Thisconsisted of the basic design and detailed design for the first two phases of the line, i.e.10.5 km out of a total 30 km. In 2006, SYSTRAwent through the tenders for the equipmentand the rolling stock of the future line.In 2007, SYSTRA was chosen by the NAT (Natio-nal Authority for Tunnel) in order to supervisethe works and the equipments of the first sec-tion of line 3 (6 km).

IranTehranA long-term study for the development of themetro network of Tehran carried out by SYSTRAin 2005-2006 recommended the creation ofseveral new lines. In 2007, SYSTRA was grantedelectro-mechanic studies and the review of civilengineering and electro-mechanic design forline 7 which is 27 km long and is composed of28 stations.

ShirazThe first line of the Shiraz metro will be 22.4 kmlong and serves 21 stations, 20 of them under-ground. In 2005 SYSTRA was appointed to carryout an independent review and to approve theoperational studies, the detailed design for civilengineering, stations and workshops, as well asthe technical specifications for railway equip-ment and rolling stock.

MashhadSYSTRA has been providing technical assistanceto the Mashhad metro company since the endof 2005 for construction of its second line. Thecontract includes operating studies, preparationof tender documents for the systems (rollingstock, telecommunications, signalling, electricitysupply, etc.) and technical assessment of thebids.
