Bernay-Caen: the CEO of SNCF Réseau praises the teams’ performance
ETF teams are currently working between Bernay (27) and Caen (14) to replace 53.73 kilometres of track on the Paris–Caen–Cherbourg line. On 1 July, this industrialised rail renewal (RRI) project welcomed Matthieu Chabanel, Chief Executive of SNCF Réseau, accompanied by local elected representatives and regional officials.
To shine a spotlight on those who work every night
Every night, more than a hundred staff take turns to ensure the work progresses. This tour of the heart of the construction site provided an opportunity to appreciate the scale of the resources mobilised and to discover the organisation required to carry out an operation of this magnitude.
That night, 1,600 metres of track were renewed using the REVO track-laying train, demonstrating the efficiency of this industrialised operation.
On this occasion, the visitors praised the professionalism and commitment of the teams working on site. This recognition highlights how the expertise of ETF and SNCF Réseau complements each other, united by a common goal: the sustainable modernisation of the railway infrastructure.
Work is continuing in the Île-de-France region
After Normandy, the RRI Rapid Renewal Programme will move on to the Île-de-France region. From 24 August, the teams and the REVO mobile workshop train will head to the Sarcelles–Persan–Beaumont section, where 23.28 kilometres of track will in turn be renewed.
