Construction

  • Hydraulic networks: In 2023, VINCI Construction combined all of its water-related operations in metropolitan France in Sogea Environnement, which offers the full range of expertise required to design, build, upgrade and maintain hydraulic facilities at every stage of the water cycle. Operations included a large number of local projects (maintenance, renovation and diversion of drinking water distribution and sewerage networks), as well as construction or modernisation of major facilities such as the Pierre-Bénite wastewater treatment plant in the Greater Lyon area, alongside the Civil Engineering France division, and the new drinking water production plant in Carbonne (Haute-Garonne).

As an extension of its water business, VINCI Construction is also building district and other heating networks and fibre optic networks (in synergy with VINCI Energies), as well as taking part in the construction of waste-to-energy plants such as the one at Cenon, in Gironde.

  • Earthworks, maritime and river works: VINCI Construction Terrassement’s French operations, now grouped under the Terélian brand, are most often carried out in synergy with other divisions. Business activity was spread across a wide variety of jobs related to large-scale urban projects (Lyon Part-Dieu multimodal transit hub), roads (Mende bypass), railways (Mont-Blanc tramway in Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes; section C of the CDG- Express railway line that will connect Paris to Charles- de-Gaulle airport; underground section of Line 18 of the Grand Paris Express, with high-speed removal of excavated material), as well as flood protection structures such as the embanked reservoir with approximately 10 million cu. metres of capacity for temporary storage of water from the Seine river, and associated draining ditches, on the La Bassée site, south-east of Paris. Alongside its earthmoving operations, VINCI Construction undertook a number of ecological engineering projects under the Equo Vivo brand. For example, as part of the La Bassée reservoir project in Seine-et-Marne, Equo Vivo was entrusted with a lot involving hydraulic and ecological continuity measures across 25 sites.

Maritime and river works, carried out by Océlian (formerly VINCI Construction Maritime et Fluvial), included the rehabilitation of berths and wharfs in the ports of Montoir-de-Bretagne (Loire-Atlantique) and Bayonne (Pyrénées-Atlantiques), and the Marineff project in Cherbourg, aimed at building marine infrastructure that will enhance the quality of coastal waters along the English Channel. Océlian also performs dredging, rock excavation and sheet-pile driving for maritime and river projects.

  • Deconstruction and road equipment: In addition to dismantling engineering structures and office and residential buildings (for example in the La Savine housing estate in Marseille), VINCI Construction has carried out large-scale projects in the industrial sector, including deconstruction of the Lucy thermal power station in Montceau-les-Mines (Saône-et-Loire) and the former Stellantis factory in Saint-Ouen-sur-Seine (Seine-Saint-Denis). Subsidiaries specialising in road furnishings and markings (which include horizontal markings, vertical signage, safety products, etc.) worked on a number of road (A7, A480, Paris ring road) and airport (Strasbourg-Entzheim, Annecy Mont-Blanc, Limoges-Bellegarde) infrastructure projects.

OVERSEAS FRANCE

VINCI Construction generated €0.8 billion in revenue (up 17%) in the seven overseas France geographies where it has operations. In the building sector, local subsidiaries were active in Martinique (Z’Abricots Bay property development in Fort-de-France; extension of the Mangot Vulcin hospital complex in Le Lamentin), Guadeloupe (educational facilities), French Guiana (Larivot power plant for EDF) and New Caledonia (Cegelec head office). Civil engineering activities focused mainly on airport infrastructure (consolidation of embankments at Roland- Garros airport on Reunion Island, upgrade of Aimé-Césaire airport in Martinique, runway repairs at Nouméa-La Tontouta airport in New Caledonia) and the first bus rapid transit project in Mayotte.

EUROPE

UNITED KINGDOM

VINCI Construction’s network of local companies in the UK, which work across almost all of the business line’s activities, generated revenue of €2.4 billion, up 5.5%. In roadworks, VINCI Construction maintained a high level of business thanks to ongoing framework contracts with National Highways, Transport for London, and the counties of Surrey, Hertfordshire, Essex and Worcestershire, plus two new contracts awarded by the county of Buckinghamshire and the district of North Somerset. Maintenance subsidiary Ringway, which manages over 50,000 km of roads and motorways on behalf of National Highways, Transport for London and a number of local authorities, also had a strong year, recording a 15% increase in the number of operations.

Civil engineering subsidiary Taylor Woodrow continued work on the major HS2 rail project, in a consortium with Balfour Beatty and Systra; the partners are also working on the construction of Old Oak Common station in London. Activity was also brisk in electricity and energy infrastructure. Taylor Woodrow joined forces with Omexom (VINCI Energies) to help modernise the national high-voltage electricity transmission network and its transition to renewable energies.

The building business was buoyed by a number of hospital projects, such as the Paterson Cancer Research Centre at the Christie Hospital in Manchester. Set up more than two decades ago, the Integrated Health Projects joint venture between VINCI Building and Sir Robert McAlpine is one of the United Kingdom’s leading contractors in healthcare infrastructure construction. In the residential sector, VINCI Building is working on the New Victoria development in Manchester (560 flats) and has completed a 900-bed student residence in Bristol for the University of the West of England, one of the largest Passivhaus-certified projects in the country.
