Ouargla, city with 130,000 inhabitants, consists of two urban centres: Ksar (the old town) and Hai Nasr (the new town). Within a few months, a tramway designed with advanced engineering will connect the two centres.
“Entreprise Métro d’Alger”, the public company responsible for this new infrastructure, has already worked with IDOM on other projects such as the tramway of Constantine and the metro of Algiers.
The success of the work carried out on these projects has been a deciding factor for the Ouarlaga tram Joint Venture (composed of the companies Rover Alcisa–Assignia–Elecnor) to once again put their trust in Idom. 5 km section has 11 stops, and among the challenges of the project is that of resolving the problems associated with the presence of sand on the tracks and infrastructure.
