ARCADIS (EURONEXT: ARCAD), the leading pure play global engineering and

Société du Grand Paris, the authority for the ambitious "Grand Paris Express"
metro lines in the Paris region in France. This 16 year contract represents a
total value to ARCADIS of ?40 million. Further financial details were not
disclosed.
The Grand Paris Express project is over 200 kilometers in length of new metro
lines and will mainly be realized underground. The contract awarded to ARCADIS
is referred to as the 100 kilometers of "red line" and will connect the suburbs
around Paris, which are now connected through the center of the city, thus
putting pressure on existing commuter systems. The construction cost estimate
for the total project is over ?20 billion. It will be delivered in the next 16
years.
The Grand Paris Scheme includes above and underground transportation, stations,
building and social infrastructure projects to enhance the economic dynamism in
the Paris region. The "red line" is one of the first major investments in this
scheme and ARCADIS will be involved in all project and program management
services including contract, cost, risk, and time management, environmental
procedures, technical advisory including tunnels, underground stations, and
mobility, and in the interfaces with other parts of the Parisian transportation
system.
Friedrich Schneider, Executive Board member responsible for the European
activities of ARCADIS on the project: "Our extensive capabilities in project and
program management, broad expertise in underground metro systems and our ability
to take an integrated view to projects positioned us well for this challenge.
Together with our project partners ARTELIA and BG, we have convinced the Société
du Grand Paris we are the right team. We are proud to be at the beginning of a
long journey of raising public transportation in Paris to the next level with
the Grand Paris Scheme."
