Through the agreement, Systra will lead a consortium consisting of TIM Ingénierie, Transitec and law firm MCL Avocats. The group will draft the tender documents for the design and build contract and manage the administrative, legal and financial processes required for the project. In addition, it will oversee the design and supervise construction.
Thierry Dattin, consultancy director, at Systra, said: “Following Systra’s design & build contract awards for the Orleans and Toulouse cable cars, Marseille consolidates the firm’s position as a leader in the urban cable car market. We are delighted to have been awarded this project management assistance contract and very much look forward to making the scheme a success.”
