Trinidad and Tobago chooses Bouygues Construction, Alstom
and RATP to develop its railway system

The project includes the construction of two express train
lines with a total length of 105 kilometres (including approx.
20 kilometres of viaducts) and around ten stations. One line
will link the capital Port of Spain to the south of the island
(San Fernando), while the other will cross the island from east
to west, from Port of Spain to Sangre Grande.

During the first phase of the contract, worth US$70 million,
the consortium will conduct preliminary design studies to
finalise the route and the detailed specifications for the
railway system selected. Following this pre-design phase, which
is expected to last 20 months, the cost and scheduling of the
project will be agreed with Nidco.

Construction will then be managed by Bouygues Travaux
Publics (a subsidiary of Bouygues Construction) for the civil
engineering and Alstom Transport for the railway system and the
supply of rolling stock over an estimated four-year period.
RATP Développement will handle the operation and
maintenance of the service for 15 years.

This project illustrates the operational and commercial
partnership put in place since April 2006 by Bouygues
Construction and Alstom to jointly develop and offer solutions
that combine the expertise of the two groups: civil engineering
and construction for Bouygues Construction and systems,
equipment and services for power generation and rail transport
for Alstom.
