While the track work continues to progress in the tunnel, the group's catenary teams have taken over to start installing the rigid catenary.

This includes:

Drilling the voussoirs to install the stanchions that support the catenary.
The installation of the overhead contact profile (PAC) in which the contact wire will be clamped a little later.
The last step will be to adjust the whole assembly to the millimeter!

For the entire underground part of the Eole project, more than 16 km of rigid catenaries will be installed.
