Grand Paris Express: Colas Rail / Alstom consortium awarded a contract for
track and catenary on Line 15 South - East sector

The Société du Grand Paris has awarded to a Colas Rail / Alstom consortium
the contract involving the track, rigid catenary and linear equipment for line
15 South - East sector of the Grand Paris Express. The contract amounts to 155
million euros.

The contract includes the construction of 17 kilometers of metro line serving 8
stations - from Noisy-Champs to Vitry-sur-Seine - as well as the maintenance
and storage site in Champigny-sur-Marne.

The consortium, comprised of Colas Rail (70%, leader) and Alstom (30%), is in
charge of project management, studies, supply, execution of works and tests for
the railway, rigid catenary and linear equipment.

The project is scheduled to last 69 months and will mobilize up to 260
employees.

For Colas Rail and Alstom, this success bears witness to their expertise and
their ability to come together to lead cross-disciplinary projects in the field
of railway equipment and works. The two companies have already worked together
on major projects such as the Reims tramway, the LGV Nîmes-Montpellier Bypass,
and the Cairo and Caracas metros. They are currently working on tramway
projects in Nice and Bordeaux.

"I would like to thank the Société du Grand Paris for the trust it has placed
in Colas Rail by awarding it with this first large-scale project on the Grand
Paris Express network. Teams from Colas Rail and Alstom will do their utmost to
ensure that the project is a success. Colas Rail aims to pursue the partnership
with the Société du Grand Paris on other projects on the Grand Paris Express,
bringing into play its full range of expertise," declares Francis Grass,
President of Colas Rail.

"I am particularly proud of the fact that the Société du Grand Paris chose
Alstom and Colas for their expertise and skills in the field of rail works for
Line 15 South - East Sector in the Greater Paris network. This demonstrates
Alstom's ability to provide more than rolling stock on major projects such as
this one," declares Jean-Baptiste Eymeoud, Senior Vice President of Alstom
France.
