Over 70,000 projects carried out every year by VINCI Construction subsidiaries in some 100 countries.
In the hydraulic infrastructure sector, VINCI Construction is carrying out large projects associated with water resource management, renewable energy production and climate resilience issues: in the UK, underground civil engineering on the Thames Tideway Tunnel East, a system for wastewater and stormwater transfer and storage in central London (completed in 2024); in Morocco, the Abdelmoumen pumped storage hydroelectric plant, which will contribute to diversifying the nation’s energy mix when it is completed in the near future; in Canada, the Springbank reservoir, designed to protect the wider Calgary region from floods by diverting a portion of the Elbow river during peak volume events; in Vietnam, the solar-powered XL02 wastewater treatment plant, which will process up to 480,000 cu. metres every day for Ho Chi Minh City’s 1.4 million residents; in Cambodia, the new contract to extend Phnom Penh’s drinking water production plant (the first phase of which was also built by Major Projects), which covers construction of a new raw water intake from the Mekong river and a new line with capacity to treat 195,000 cu. metres of water a day.
In energy infrastructure, Major Projects continued construction work on liquefied natural gas tanks in Canada (with a capacity of 225,000 cu. metres), the UK (190,000 cu. metres) and the Netherlands (180,000 cu. metres), as well as on the Larivot power station (120 MW) in French Guiana, which will cover 70% of the overseas department’s electricity needs. Specialist subsidiary HDI (pipelines beneath natural or artificial obstacles) was awarded the contract to lay a gas pipeline and fibre optic networks in Brazil, and is taking part in two electricity interconnection projects in synergy with VINCI Energies – one between France and Spain, the other between Scotland and England. Geocean (marine infrastructure for the energy and water industries) recorded strong growth, in particular thanks to its innovative solutions in sea water air conditioning (SWAC) and marine renewable energies. VINCI Construction GeoInfrastructure won a contract to bury direct current power lines as part of the SuedOstLink project in Germany.
