Arcadis executive board member Friedrich Schneider said that the company’s extensive capabilities in project and programme management, broad expertise in underground metro systems and ability to take an integrated view to projects meant it was well-positioned for this challenge.

“Together with our project partners Artelia and BG, we have convinced the Société du Grand Paris we are the right team,” Schneider said.
