Ports de Paris, the public port of Paris authority, has selected Colas Rail, in partnership with Europorte, to prepare documents necessary to obtain safety certification and subsequently to take over the management, operation and maintenance of the railway infrastructure in its tri-modal ports for a period of 4 years.
The two companies will combine their engineering and railway safety expertise in the ports of Gennevilliers, Bonneuil-sur-Marne and Limay.
Ports de Paris, which has almost 60 km of railway track, is France’s top inland port and the second largest in Europe.
Europorte will prepare the ports’ Safety and Operating Regulations Reference Document (RSE).
Colas Rail and Europorte will be responsible for implementing the RSE and for the preventive and corrective maintenance of the railway infrastructure on the sites throughout the contract.
A dedicated team will be assigned to Ports de Paris. The partnership will enable it to access real-time information on the use of its tracks and the condition of its infrastructure.
