| Cegelec equips tunnels in Germany and Algeria French engineering company Cegelec has recently been entrusted with the electrotechnical infrastructure of two major motorway tunnels in Germany (Hamburg) and Algeria (East-West motorway in construction) for a global amount of 85 million euros. These two new contracts confirm the group's expertise in providing electrical infrastructures, and most particularly safety equipment, for major road and rail tunnel projects. Since its creation in 2001, Cegelec has recorded orders close to 300 million euros in this field. For the Elb tunnel in Hamburg, one of the longest underwater tunnels in the world (3.3 km) used by up to 150,000 vehicles daily, Cegelec will renovate all of the electrotechnical infrastructure for three tubes, including ventilation and safety equipment and the traffic management system. Inaugurated in 1975, the Elb tunnel comprises four tubes, with the more recently added fourth tube already fitted out by Cegelec. In Algeria, Cegelec will equip four tunnels, representing a total length of 4.7 km, to be built for the future, 1,216 km long, motorway that will link Tlemcen to Annaba and represents the country's largest infrastructure project to date. write your comments about the article :: © 2009 Construction News :: home page |
