ETF (agent), together with VINCI Construction Terrassement and AVENEL, is building a new track that will enable trains on the Nantes–Le Croisic line to bypass the Donges industrial zone. With several Seveso-classified sites in the area, this 4.5 km bypass will reduce the exposure of the railway line and its 60 daily trains to potential risks.

Since the official launch in October 2020 of the project to rehabilitate 375 km of railway track in Uganda between Tororo and Gulu, work is progressing well. After extensive preparatory work (clearing vegetation, surveying the line, marking rails and sleepers, etc.), the teams from the ETF/SOGEA-SATOM (VINCI Construction) joint venture have begun dismantling the track.

ETF, in partnership with TSO (agent), is responsible for constructing the eastern extension of line 11 for its client, RATP. With a 6.5 km long track platform and the creation of six new stations, this extension completes the network in this part of Seine-Saint-Denis (93), offering connections to several key lines in the network: RER E, the future line 15 (Grand Paris) and four bus lines

ETF, on behalf of its client SNCF Réseau, is currently renewing the tracks and ballast at Beaugency station and on the two nearby viaducts. This project will improve the reliability of the network and ensure passenger comfort.

The performance at ETF is based above all on teamwork and synergy between our agencies. During March 2021, the Centre-Île-de-France agency was able to count on the RFN (Réseau Ferré National) Grand-Est teams who were involved in the Vigirail campaign in Compiègne.

Around sixty people who are distant from the labour market or long-term unemployed have already been recruited and are currently undergoing training in railway construction trades.
