CERTIFER and APAVE join forces to carry out the qualified body and technical control missions for the creation of the T9 and T10 tramway lines in Lyon on behalf of Sytral

The creation of T9 and T10 lines projects is part of a global approach to territorial optimization in the Lyon urban area. The T9 line aims to link Villeurbanne and Vaulx-en-Velin. The main objective of T10 line is to link Vénissieux, Saint-Fons and the area of Gerland (city of Lyon). The challenges of these 2 operations are to optimize time of travel for users, to improve access to main public transport lines and to developping underserved areas. The construction work is expected to start in 2023 and commissioning is planned for 2026.

On the strength of their various past collaborations, CERTIFER and Apave will use their respective fields of expertise to meet Sytral's request. As a Qualified Body, CERTIFER will be in charge of the global system, rolling stock, infrastructure, energy, CCS and urban intertion parts. Apave will be in charge of the Technical Control mission for engineering structures, technical premises, public lighting and stations, among others. 10 resources have been appointed for CERTIFER and 3 for Apave, for an intervention that will last 65 months.
