BUILDING SOLUTIONS
Business in this area grew 8% to €6.1 billion over the year.
Six VINCI Energies companies are taking part in the urban regeneration project around Austerlitz train station in Paris.
At the Fenix Museum in Rotterdam, Netherlands, highperformance technical solutions were used to enhance sustainability and visitor comfort while preserving the site’s industrial character.
In Rabat, Morocco, VINCI Energies crews completed the technical packages for the Mohammed VI International University Hospital, a major hospital complex which is spearheading the development of the region’s medical sector.
Some 600 locally based business units organised as a network provide a comprehensive range of building-related expertise, from electrical systems and heating, ventilation and air conditioning, to fire protection, access control, maintenance and facilities management, mostly in Western Europe, North and West Africa (Morocco, Senegal, Côte d’Ivoire, etc.) and Asia- Pacific (Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia). Through its ability to execute all the technical works packages and provide services throughout the life cycle of a building, VINCI Energies offers comprehensive solutions that can help address environmental transition goals, such as reducing the long-term energy consumption and carbon footprint of buildings, or adapting them to climate change.
Business is buoyed by a number of structural trends, including increased defence spending, growing investment in building renovation and energy performance, and the rapid rollout of data centres and associated technologies. The computing boom has led to significant advances in processor performance, but heat dissipation limits are becoming an issue and new liquid cooling technologies are emerging to address it. In this market, VINCI Energies companies provide installation, maintenance and fire protection services for local data centres, delivering technical works packages or working as general contractors for large players, particularly in the Greater Paris area and Asia (Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia).
VINCI Energies has been involved in a growing number of renovation projects in France, a segment where momentum remains very strong. While technical packages generally account for less than 50% of a new-build project, they can exceed 70% in renovation projects. For instance, VINCI Energies is taking part in the refurbishment of the oldest building on the CentraleSupélec campus, part of an engineering school located near Saclay, south-west of Paris. As part of a design-build-operate-maintain consortium, it is delivering the main technical packages, including power, lighting and communications systems, fire safety systems, heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC), as well as plumbing and special fluids. The project also includes a comprehensive energy performance contract targeting a 50% reduction in energy consumption per sq. metre.
More generally, the Building Solutions segment is positioning itself to meet growing demand for school and university renovation work in France and elsewhere in Europe. In this connection, and guided by a long-term vision aimed at supporting local authorities and the private sector alike, VINCI Energies provides comprehensive support including site audits, financial structuring, subsidy identification, drafting of targetbased energy performance contracts, design, operation spanning several years, etc. In Toulouse (southern France), VINCI Energies won the HVAC/plumbing and power, lighting and communications works packages as part of the modernisation of Safran Power Units’site. Work on this project began in December 2025 and is scheduled for completion in 2028. In Morocco, after an initial wave of projects in university buildings, VINCI Energies has been active in several projects involving hospitals (following the recent extension of public health insurance to 20 million people) and stadiums (for the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations then the 2030 FIFA World Cup).
