Pit-Tracks for the Grand Paris Express Maintenance Facilities

The Grand Paris Express is one of Europe’s most ambitious infrastructure projects, aimed at transforming the transport network in the Paris metropolitan area. The massive development includes 200 kilometers of new railway lines, 68 stations, and requires meticulous planning and engineering at every step. Gantrex was honored to contribute to this project by supplying customized pit-tracks to support the maintenance operations in three different workshops along the network.

Our pit-tracks are designed with flexibility and durability in mind, offering a solution that can withstand the heavy loads and continuous use common in rail maintenance.

Key features of the Gantrex pit-tracks include:

  • Precision Design tailored to each workshop’s layout and operational requirements.
