BUILDING SOLUTIONS

Business in this area grew 12% to €5.4 billion over the year. Growth reached 50% over a five-year period, thanks to sustained expansion in France, but mostly in other European countries and in the Morocco-West Africa and Singapore-Malaysia-Indonesia regions.

VINCI Energies’ comprehensive range of services (electrical systems, fire safety, fit-out, heating, ventilation and air conditioning, video surveillance and access control, and multi-technical maintenance and associated services) are carried out by 530 local companies organised as a network. The business line’s position as a solutions integrator means it can execute all the technical work packages and plan and perform maintenance operations throughout the life cycle of a building. This position is particularly well suited to large, increasingly complex projects, and to the objective of reducing emissions associated with both construction and operation. VINCI Energies is addressing these challenges with solutions that optimise the energy systems used in buildings and contribute to transforming the way the latter are used by anticipating future developments.

In works activities, which increasingly involve renovating existing buildings, projects won or under way in France – several of which were carried out in synergy with VINCI Construction  included refurbishment of the Hopen tower in La Défense; refurbishment of the Maison de la Radio, renovation of the former Grands Magasins Dufayel building, and a new 100,000 sq. metre complex developed by Kaufman & Broad next to Austerlitz station in Paris; the new Thales hub in Cholet (Maine-et-Loire); the future police station in Nice (Alpes-Maritimes); the new Hôpital Métropolitain de l’Artois in Lens (Pas-de-Calais), where VINCI Energies is responsible for most of the technical packages (HVAC and geothermal system, lighting and communications system, building automation system, access control, fibre optics).

Outside France, salient projects included: in the Netherlands, renovation of a 100,000 sq. metre office complex for ABN AMRO in Amsterdam; a data centre campus for Swiss operator Green in Dielsdorf, canton of Zurich; in Morocco, the Mohammed VI Polytechnic University campuses in Ben Guerir and Rabat; in West Africa, the Kosen property development in Dakar, Senegal, and Société Générale’s new head office in Abidjan, Côte d’Ivoire; in Asia, data centres for Equinix in Singapore and Microsoft in Jakarta.

In maintenance and facilities management, the mostly France-based business units that operate under the VINCI Facilities banner deploy integrated, multi-site solutions for public and private-sector customers under multi-year contracts. Last year, they were awarded new contracts for the RTE headquarters in La Défense and the Carlton hotel in Nice (multi-technical maintenance over a five-year term). They also expanded the scope of their collaboration with Thales, whose sites they manage in France, and with Orange, by taking over facilities management at Orange Business’s sites in the Greater Paris area in addition to the telecoms operator’s Global and France head offices. Using a tool developed with its teams, VINCI Facilities measures the carbon footprint associated with its contracts and, based on the data collected, enlists the skills of its “carbo-logists” to offer its customers carbon reduction measures that can have a direct impact on their business and activity.

Thanks to its integrated offering, VINCI Energies also won its first comprehensive energy performance contract in France in the building sector, with the city council of Rueil-Malmaison (Hauts-de-Seine). Covering seven sites, including six school complexes, the contract covers engineering and energy efficiency upgrades (building envelope and systems) as well as operation and maintenance for a term of 10 years, with a commitment to achieve 38% energy savings by the end of the contract.

Lastly, in Belgium, the energy efficiency and maintenance contract that VINCI Facilities was awarded in 2018 by the town of Beersel has already produced energy savings of 2.6 GWh over five years, thanks to a package of technical measures applied to seven municipal buildings.
