Extending 14 kilometers underground, this extension includes 5 new stations which connect the old Olympiades terminus to the new Airport station. Representative of a group to carry out the “low voltage and low current” market.

Selected by RATP in 2021 to take charge of project management, studies and works, SPIE CityNetworks carried out all of the low-voltage work as well as normal and safety lighting for the extension of line 14 South .
These consisted of the installation:
• lighting equipment for public and private spaces in stations, ancillary structures and tunnels
• electrical power in stations (elevators, ventilation, smoke extraction, operating equipment, etc.)
• electrical services (power outlets for firefighters, electrical terminals, etc.) and automation for electrical substations.
After a study phase of approximately 9 months, the work took place from June 2021 to June 2024. In total, 5 stations, 14 km of tunnels and 12 ancillary structures were equipped. This operation mobilized up to 200 people at the peak of activity.

“We are proud to have contributed to the commissioning of this extension, which makes line 14 the main north-south link of the Paris metro. The collaborative and agile approach that we deployed was one of the keys to successfully carrying out this complex operation, which involved a large number of stakeholders” – Guillaume Bouvatier, operational director at SPIE CityNetworks.

“The constrained schedule was one of the main challenges to overcome; this extension project was carried out with a view to being operational for the largest international sports competition which took place in Paris this summer […] It is a real collective success where each actor knew how to play the right role, client, project managers, partners, suppliers…” Luc Sauze, general director of SPIE CityNetworks.
