October 9, 2012 - ARCADIS (EURONEXT: ARCAD), a leading international
consultancy, design, engineering and management services company, today
announced that it has been awarded a contract to provide engineering,
procurement and construction management  services for the civil works on the
extension of the line B of the Metro System in Toulouse, France. The project is
a €12 million global contract (of which €8.2 million for ARCADIS) for a 5
kilometers long extension, with 4.5 kilometers elevated on bridges and five
aerial stations.

The project is part of the transportation development plan of the public
transportation authority of the region of Toulouse, the Syndicat Mixte des
Transports en Commun (SMTC) which will expand the current two line network of
the subway to the south and to two big industrial zones. The cost   estimate for
the total expansion project is €168 million (excluding materials and equipment).

Among the specialties involved in the study are bridges, tunnels, soil
mechanics, public roads and mobility studies. ARCADIS will also be involved in
the management of the interfaces with the transportation system and in getting
the project approved by the environmental authorities.
Paul Souaid, Managing Director of ARCADIS in France on the project: "Our strong
capabilities in metro systems once again helped to convince a client that
ARCADIS should be the preferred partner for these types of projects. We see a
clear market trend towards integrated services from initiation of a project all
the way through to completion and we are able to assist our clients well in all
of these phases."
