They have also been involved in a growing number of climate adaptation projects, notably using Revilo®, a comprehensive solution to create urban cool islands which won the VINCI 2024 Environment Awards’ top prize and was deployed in several municipalities in Charente-Maritime, along one of Marseille’s trunk roads and in the area surrounding a shopping centre in Dordogne.
Further upstream in the construction supply chain, VINCI Construction produced 46 million tonnes of natural aggregates in 2024 and aims to double its output of aggregates from recycled materials by 2030. As France’s leader in this market, it intends to achieve this goal thanks to a network of more than 200 materials reclamation and recycling platforms which apply the Granulat+ circular economy approach. Some 70 of these platforms are already marketing 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.
Furthermore, on the Lyon–Turin rail link project, VINCI Construction has commenced work under the contract to recycle the excavated material from the French side of the Mont-Cenis base tunnel (Savoie). More than 50% of the 23 million tonnes extracted on the French side will be reused in project-related works. The contract includes the creation of three final disposal sites, three materials processing stations, eight logistics platforms, 15 km of conveyor belts and a complete rail loading site.
