The work

Understanding the work

Four steps are required before the C1 Cable is commissioned.

Step 1: concession work

This work is carried out by the managers of the underground networks: sewerage, gas, electricity, telecommunications, water, etc.

These different networks are moved to free up the space necessary for the construction of the C1 Cable, but also to allow their maintenance during operation.

This work will mainly concern Créteil-Pointe du Lac in order to build the supports for the future station and the footbridge that will connect the François Mitterrand mall to the Metro station 8 Pointe du Lac.

Step 2: Preparatory work

This work precedes the infrastructure work. They free up the spaces necessary for the construction of the line, while securing the future work area (temporary road improvements, for example).

Step 3: Infrastructure work

This stage includes all the work necessary for the construction of the C1 Cable:

• construction of the footbridge between the François Mitterrand mall and the Metro station 8 Pointe du Lac, in Créteil,
• construction of the 5 stations and urban developments,
• development and equipment of the stations,
• installation of the pylons (construction of the foundations, earthworks and footing of the pylon),
• unwinding of the cable along the entire route,
• installation of the electrical system,
• assembly of the cabins.

Step 4: Testing

The last step before commissioning, the tests of the C1 Cable will ensure the performance and safety of the infrastructure, the system and the comfort of passengers.
