TRACK WORKS
CONSTRUCTION
Faced with the challenges posed by changes in society and the climate, countries and cities are reinventing themselves and turning to rail mobility. ETF was involved in the construction of the first lines of the Paris metro and the main high-speed lines that are shaping France (LGV Est-Européenne / LGV SEA). Backed by their expertise, our teams are actively involved in the construction of new rail networks in France and abroad.
ETF has positioned itself as a true systems integrator, able to deliver turnkey projects. From design to construction, we provide our customers with all our organisational and innovative capabilities, in synergy with other VINCI Group entities.

Maintenance operations
A network of local agencies manages maintenance contracts on a day-to-day basis. They are responsible for regularly planning and carrying out maintenance work on all types of network. ETF deploys skilled teams to manage various types of worksites, particularly complex operations requiring high technical skills and solid expertise.
These major track works (e.g. replacement of switches, ballast or sections of track) are structured around a phase of preparatory work, main work and finishing work. To implement these different phases, ETF is organised around several major tasks: technical studies and methods, planning, renewal work and maintenance.
INDUSTRIAL REGENERATION
ETF is also present on SNCF Réseaux’s “Suites Rapides” markets, with these rolling work trains regenerating track at industrial rates. These markets are part of the modernisation plan of our customer, SNCF Réseau.
Since 2015, ETF has held the contract for the only Suite Rapide in dense areas on the Ile-de-France network.
Since 2018, ETF has been working on a Suite Rapide lot on the national network.
In 2024, ETF will begin the RRI contract (Renewal of Industrialised Rails), which will involve renewing 675km of track over 5 years.
