Despite the unrest that shook New Caledonia, Martinique and Mayotte, revenue declined only 2.9% to €0.7 billion, confirming the resilience of the business units in these geographies. In the building sector, local subsidiaries were mainly active in French Guiana (development and construction of residential complexes; new buildings at the Guiana Space Centre, including one to store boosters for Ariane 6 and Vega C launchers; a comprehensive energy performance contract for the future judicial precinct in Cayenne), on Reunion Island (La Kanopée eco-district in La Possession) and in Saint Martin (reconstruction and extension of the occupied buildings of Roche Gravée de Moho secondary school in Quartier d’Orléans, following the damage caused by Hurricane Irma). Civil engineering and public works projects included: on Reunion Island, starting construction on the solid recovered fuel (SRF) power plant; in French Guiana, construction of the Larivot power station for EDF (120 MW) in synergy with Major Projects; in Martinique, work to protect the RN5 on the Rivière-Salée plain (raising the road level to prevent flooding during heavy rains); and in Mayotte, the Caribus bus rapid transit network. Lastly, business was brisk in French Polynesia, notably thanks to specialist activities (slope stabilisation).

Covering a broad range of business activities, the network of local subsidiaries in the UK VINCI Construction’s largest market after France generated revenue of €2.7 billion, up 10%. VINCI Construction signed an agreement in late October to acquire FM Conway, a leading British public works company (close to €700 million in revenue, 2,000 employees), with a view to bolstering its position in the very buoyant south-east England market. The transaction was completed in early 2025.

Business in roadworks carried out by Eurovia and road maintenance by Ringway held steady at a high level, thanks in particular to asset-delivery framework contracts and multi-year service contracts with National Highways, Transport for London, and the counties of Surrey, Hertfordshire and Worcestershire. Ringway, which manages over 50,000 km of urban roads, highways and motorways, was reappointed to maintain and improve roads and public spaces in the city of Milton Keynes (Buckinghamshire) for eight years. The company is developing advanced circular economy solutions through which it has, for example, achieved an 83% materials recycling rate under the maintenance contract for trunk roads in the east of England.

Civil engineering subsidiary Taylor Woodrow continued construction work on the Old Oak Common station in London, a major hub on the future High Speed 2 line, and completed the Bletchley train depot in Buckinghamshire. Its joint venture with Omexom (VINCI Energies) was named as a delivery partner in the large-scale programme to upgrade the national high-voltage transmission grid and has begun overhauling a series of substations under this contract. In addition, Taylor Woodrow built the transfer station at the EcoPark South sustainable waste management and resource recovery facility in North London using Exegy® ultra-low-carbon concrete.
