Cairo Metro Line 1
|
 |
In 1984, our Transport sector established
an official presence in Egypt, heart of the Middle East, to meet its various
and integrated demands.
ALSTOM Transport Egypt Branch, which started its activities with 30
people, currently employs nearly 300 Transport employees in Egypt, in various
activities: engineering for signaling and telecom projects, erection, testing
and commissioning as well as maintenance and guarantee.
Cairo Metro Lines 1 and 2 rank among the major projects in which ALSTOM
has participated as a member of INTERINFRA consortium that executed the
works.
Cooperation is continuing with the Client, National Authority for Tunnels
"NAT", as INTERINFRA has been awarded the contract of Line 2 Fifth
Extension (Phase 2C, El Monib-Sakkiet Mekki), inaugurated in January 2005.
ALSTOMis well known for most of the Cairenes using the underground metro
on a daily basis as ALSTOM's sign (previously spelled
"ALSTHOM"), on most of its rolling stock, is a constant reminder of
our involvement in this giant project.
The Egyptian National Railways "ENR" ordered 30 shunting
Diesel-Electric Locomotives mid 2001 to ALSTOM. The signaling
maintenance of the main rail line, Cairo-Alexandria, represents also one of our
main contracts with ENR. |
