Underground works for the Nice tramway

3 March 2016 - Projects update and handover - France

Within the framework of the T2 tram line project in Nice (south of France), Soletanche Bachy (VINCI Construction), as part of a consortium, is supplying the civil engineering works of the underground section of the future line: a 3.2 km-long tunnel, four underground stations and the entrance and exit shafts.

Soletanche Bachy is currently engaged in injection works and creating the walls of the Garibaldi and Alsace Lorraine stations. Soldata, a Soletanche Bachy subsidiary, will be monitoring this worksite which, being implemented in a delicate subsoil, requires that the stability of buildings on the surface be carefully watched. Completion of the works is scheduled for late 2017, with the line due to open in 2018.
