Eiffage, in a consortium, wins the contract to transform the Gent-Sint-Pieters
    railway station in Belgium for a total value of almost EUR100 million

Eiffage, through Antwerpse Bouwwerken and Valens, two Eiffage Benelux
subsidiaries, was recently awarded, in a consortium, the SNCB (Belgian national
railway company) contract to transform the Gent-Sint-Pieters station in
Belgium. The contract amounts to almost EUR100 million, with Eiffage's share
worth EUR86 million.

The project includes the station's transformation, partial redevelopment of the
ground floor and first underground level, and refurbishment of the tracks and
platforms, which will be equipped with a roof connecting to the previously
renovated part of the station. This new roof structure will ensure passenger
comfort in all weather conditions. The installation of solar panels and
integrated heat pumps add to the project's sustainability credentials.

The station will remain operational throughout the entire works period, which
will require phased organisation and a construction method based on a dynamic
BIM model. This will provide an overview of logistical movements, such as the
removal of demolition and earthwork debris or the supply of construction and
raw materials, so that the construction process can be organised to keep the
works' impact to a minimum.

The project was designed by SNCB as part of the Gent-Sint-Pieters multi-year
plan, which is a collaboration between SNCB, Infrabel, De Lijn, the City of
Gent and the Flemish Region.
