The rail context in Grand Est

A network our teams know

The Grand Est region is home to the LGV Est high-speed line, the Lorraine corridor (Metz–Nancy), the Strasbourg hub and the cross-border links to Germany, Luxembourg and Switzerland, with heavy freight traffic along the Rhine. Site work there calls for work on mixed passenger / freight lines, 25 kV and 1.5 kV overhead-line work, winter projects that need machines reliable in severe cold.

GROUPE ARROUGÉ works there for rail contractors and their subcontractors, on contracts let by SNCF Réseau, the Grand Est region, CFL and DB Netz for the border sections, and overhead-line contractors: 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: Strasbourg, Reims, Metz, Mulhouse, Nancy, Colmar. Logistics base in Paris, machines delivered by low-loader throughout the region.
