The rail context in Corsica

A network our teams know

The Corsica region is home to the metre-gauge network of the Chemins de fer de la Corse (Bastia–Ajaccio and Bastia–Calvi), under modernisation, with mountain sections, many tunnels and viaducts. Site work there calls for machines shipped by sea, track and structure work in mountain areas, long possessions outside the tourist season.

GROUPE ARROUGÉ works there for rail contractors and their subcontractors, on contracts let by the Collectivité de Corse and the Chemins de fer de la Corse: provision of SNCF Réseau and RATP-approved road-rail plant, driven by operators holding the CACES R482 / R486, TES M and AIPR authorisations.

Main conurbations covered: Ajaccio. Logistics base in Paris, machines delivered by low-loader throughout the region.
