This is an important project, because every day hundreds of containers are transshipped between trucks and freight trains. Without the smooth operation of Geneva La Praille, our supermarket shelves would be empty.

We had the advantage of carrying out an assignment for the Direction Locale des Travaux et Assistance à la Direction Générale des Travaux as part of the renewal of the tracks at this major marshalling yard.

The project involved renewing the superstructure of 4 tracks with a total length of 800 m, installing 4 knockers and removing a non-operated level crossing. The work was being carried out in a difficult context, as the station was still being operated by road. Despite these organizational and safety challenges, the work was completed on schedule.

Many thanks to SBB CFF FFS for its confidence, and to the Vanoli AG teams for their high-quality work.

This marks the end of the BM3 (Bauen mit Dritten) season in 2023. We're already looking forward to the 2024 season, which promises to be a very interesting one, with exciting construction sites, particularly in the north of French-speaking Switzerland.
