The project and its requirements

The expansion of the Paris metro includes new lines and stations. Tunnel construction required passage through reinforced structures without lengthy removal of steel bars.

How the reinforcement was used

MateenBar™ in soft-eye zones can be cut by the tunnel boring machine during excavation. Its lower weight also made handling easier in confined spaces.
