The quest for energy efficiency: a major growth driver

VINCI Energies was able to weather the downturn in the service sector by capitalising on the diversity of its business activities, capabilities and contracts. The quest for energy efficiency in the service sector represents a major short-term growth driver, more particularly in France where the Grenelle Environment Forum made low-energy buildings mandatory starting in 2011. To prepare for the expected upturn in the office property market, especially in the Greater Paris area, VINCI Energies made changes in its organisation in that region, pooling its full range of capabilities. The Group is now in a position to offer contracting authorities a global, structured multi-technical service together with the technical and financial guarantees that are required for major structure refurbishment and construction operations.

Major building operations helped bolster service sector activity in 2010

High-profile projects handed over included the CMA CGM tower in Marseilles, the First tower in Paris La Défense, the MMArena stadium in Le Mans, the Philips and Bouygues Telecom head offices and data centres for a number of banks. Meanwhile, VINCI Energies won several contracts to renovate high-rise buildings in the western Paris business districts in synergy with VINCI Construction. 

Two growing sectors: shopping centres and hospitals 

 In the shopping centre sector, several new construction and renovation projects were carried out both in Switzerland, with the Coop Megastore, and in France, where buoyant activity in Greater Paris region including Marne la Vallée and Vélizy 2. In the health care sector, VINCI Energies took part in the construction of hospitals and nursing homes, including SENIOcare in Switzerland, the paediatric teaching hospital in Basel, the hospital in Gothenburg, Sweden and the hospital in Loures, Portugal.
