Engineers will also fit in a 200-meter cut-and-cover stretch at Saint-Quentin Est station. As this stretch links major residential and industrial areas, it will boost daily mobility for western Île-de-France commuters and local industries.
The plant employs low-carbon rails made from electric arc furnaces, not from blast furnaces fired with coal. Emissions are lowered by approximately 1.455 tonnes of CO₂ equivalent for every tonne of steel and is made from 95% recycled materials.
