The division’s subsidiaries were involved in several projects associated with the Paris 2024 Olympic and Paralympic Games: the Athletes’ Village in Saint-Denis; the Marie-Curie sports complex in Nogent-sur-Oise (Oise), which was renovated and expanded to accommodate a dojo; the Olympium real estate complex in Villeneuve-d’Ascq, where the basketball and handball teams will be housed; redevelopment of the areas surrounding the Grand Palais museum, the Warsaw fountain in the Trocadero Gardens and the new Porte de La Chapelle (Adidas) Arena in the capital.
They have also taken part in a growing number of climate adaptation projects (combating urban heat islands, landscaping schoolyards, rethinking or introducing parks and gardens, soil unsealing), for example with their new Revilo® integrated offering.
More upstream in the construction supply chain, VINCI Construction produces around 50 million tonnes of aggregates every year in France. As France’s leader in this market, it aims to double its output of aggregates from recycled materials by 2030. It intends to achieve this with its Granulat+ circular economy programme (now up and running at more than 200 materials reclamation and recycling platforms) and with Ogêo, a new line of highly technical, low carbon aggregates that are responsibly sourced from eight collection streams, produced locally and formulated to meet each customer’s specific technical and aesthetic requirements. Some 50 sites in France are already marketing the Ogêo range.
VINCI Construction teams are taking part in the vast La Bassée pilot project
at Châtenay-sur-Seine (Seine-et-Marne) to protect the Greater Paris area from the risk of flooding.

- Rail works: Business for specialist subsidiary ETF was brisk in its two main project categories. The first is maintenance and modernisation of existing infrastructure, mainly for SNCF Réseau. Over the year, 81 km of track were fully replaced, at a pace of up to 400 metres of track in one night, using two high-output track renewal trains, one of which is used exclusively in dense urban areas in and around Paris. ETF also carried out modernisation work on the Lannemezan Tarbes line, in the Hautes-Pyrénées (replacement of 54 km of catenaries) and on a rail bypass at industrial sites in Donges, in the Loire-Atlantique region.
The other main project category is new urban mobility infrastructure. Alongside other divisions in the business line and VINCI Energies, ETF teams will be fitting out future Line 15 West of the Grand Paris Express with track components and equipment, following on from similar work they carried out on Line 15 South-West in 2023. They are also involved in a number of tramway projects, notably in Marseille and Lyon.
