Local/French groups win additional packages for Line 3
Egypts National Authority for Tunnels (NAT) has awarded two local/French consortiums deals worth a combined 270m ($307m) for the third phase of the Cairo Metros Line 3.
Both the civils and tracks packages are led by the local Orascom Construction. The civils contract was awarded to a group that includes Frances Bouygues and Vinci, and the local Arab Contractors, while the track works package was awarded to a group that includes TSO of Frances NGE Group and ETF, a subsidiary of Frances Eurovia.
Another Orascom-led team, which includes the UKs Colas Rail, Frances Alstom and Arab Contractors, had earlier won civils and electromechanical work also for phase 3, worth an estimated $317m, of which $113m was accounted for by Orascom.
Phase 3 will stretch across 18 kilometres of tunnelling and viaduct works, which will include 15 elevated, at-grade and underground stations. French and Europeans funds are providing finance for the phase.
