Four VINCI companies Soletanche Bachy and Sif Groutbor, both subsidiaries of Soletanche Freyssinet , and Chantiers Modernes Rhône-Alpes ( – are to participate, as part of a consortium, in the CEVA project (Cornavin – Eaux-Vives – Annemasse), building the future link between the rail networks in the canton of Geneva (Switzerland) and the Haute-Savoie (France). In particular, they will construct the 350 m long, cut-and-cover Val d’Arve tunnel, between the Pinchat rail tunnel and the bridge over the Arve valley. Its construction will require the creation of 12,000 sq. metres of diaphragm walls. Soletanche Bachy, Sif Groutbor and Chantiers Modernes Rhône-Alpes will also build the underground Geneva Eaux-Vives railway station (photo). Total value of the works: €83m.
