Key Data

In the automotive sector, in Germany, Actemium is supporting Volkswagen in the transition to production of all-electric vehicles at its Emden site, following Zwickau (Saxony) in previous years. Actemium has also worked on projects in Mexico on sites operated by carmaker Ford and equipment manufacturer Continental.

In the logistics sector, driven by the development of e-commerce, Actemium has outfitted one of Viapost’s French sites (Argonay, Haute-Savoie) with an innovative and scalable mechanised sorting system that cuts delivery-round preparation time by a factor of three.

In the agri-food sector, in the Netherlands, Actemium equipped a mush-room compost plant for the Sikes group; in France, it helped a plant operated by the Syngenta Group, which specialises in seed production and crop protection products, to optimise performance of one of its production lines by using data analytics to identify the root cause of a problem affecting a filling process.

In the oil and gas sector, Actemium participated in the commissioning of eight new platforms in the Tyra gas field off the coast of Denmark, which provides the bulk of the country’s natural gas supply. Actemium is also working with Shell in the Netherlands on a biofuel production and storage facility in Rotterdam; with national gas company Adnoc in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates, to upgrade its infrastructure’s emergency shutdown systems; and with Petrobras and Trident in Brazil on maintaining several offshore platforms.

In the ports sector, Actemium has developed an emissions-free onshore power supply installation, enabling ships to shut off their generators, which run on fuel oil, during laytime. The solution, which connects to a ship via a cable, can be adapted to the various electrical systems on any vessel. After being implemented in Sweden, it was then rolled out across some 30 projects in six countries, and will be up and running in 2023 in Abu Dhabi, where 10 units with a total capacity of 4 MW are being installed in the industrial ports of Musaffah and Ruwais.

Lastly, business units belonging to the Actemium network are involved in the growing hydrogen industry. In France, they are providing the electrical, instrumentation and control systems for a new experimental underground storage site for HydroFrance. After having carried out the design phase, they were also awarded the execution of a pilot electrolyser production line at Genvia’s site in Béziers (Hérault). This company, which is partly owned by VINCI Construction, is carrying out a project aimed at deploying high- temperature electrolysis technology on an industrial scale.

 

BUILDING SOLUTIONS

Business volume in this activity reached €4.8 billion, up 12% com-pared to 2021.

In a context where new environmental regulations require stepping up efforts to cut carbon intensity in buildings, which are responsible for about 40% of global greenhouse gas emissions, VINCI Energies is helping its customers develop comprehensive and stringently designed solutions. In addition to optimising the long-term carbon footprint of buildings and immediately reducing their energy consumption, these solutions factor in the transformation of building uses while anticipating future developments. With expertise covering the entire life cycle of buildings, from engineering and construction to maintenance and operation, VINCI Energies is well poised to address these challenges. Its position as a solutions integrator is particularly well suited to large projects, which provide an opportunity for its business units to coordinate their areas of expertise and not only execute, but also oversee and manage, all technical work packages.

In works activities, this approach benefited a number of large-scale projects in France, several of which were carried out in synergy with VINCI Construction: the Hekla tower in La Défense (west of Paris); the future Triangle tower and the renovation of the Grand Palais in Paris; the Lyon Part-Dieu multimodal transit hub (Rhône); the new university hospital complex in Nantes (Loire-Atlantique);the future administrative centres in Toulouse (Haute-Garonne) and Lille (Nord); the aquatics facility built in Saint-Denis (Seine-Saint-Denis) for the 2024 world sports events; the new Lidl logistics hub in Saint-Augustin (Pas-de-Calais), which is aiming for BREEAM® Very Goodc ertification.
