VINCI Construction — 2021

Our ambition in response to a changing worldTalk with Pierre Anjolras,

Chairman of VINCI Construction

A new organisational structure at VINCI, combining the activities of VINCI Construction and Eurovia within a single business line, was announced in January 2021; it is headed by Pierre Anjolras.

Why are Eurovia and VINCI Construction joining forces?

This move is all about preparing for the future. We live in a world where transformations are accelerating. The ecological transition, the digital revolution... These far-reaching changes are leading us to rethink the assets that need to be built and how we build them. This presents both a fantastic opportunity and an immense challenge for all our construction businesses. Together they cover an unrivalled range of expertise across building, civil engineering and infrastructure, and are equally outstanding in terms of human community, economic potential and geographical coverage, with 115,000 employees and over 1,000 companies in some 100 countries, and €23 billion in revenue in 2020. Connecting all of these skills and creating new synergies among our teams places us in a better position to meet the challenges that lie ahead and to fulfill our customers’ expectations.

The move also boosts our collective innovation capacity, which will be critical in accelerating the transformation of our businesses, products, services and solutions in response to the ecological transition, in which we play a leading role.

How is VINCI Construction now organised?

We are organised into three pillars, with leading positions in each. The first, which most clearly sets us apart from our competitors, is our Speciality Network; it brings together our subsidiaries that specialise in soil technologies, structures, nuclear engineering and digital solutions for the construction sector, with skills and brands that set the standard worldwide. The second is our Major Projects Division, which brings together the businesses that work on the largest and most complex projects. Here again, ours is a global playing field, as evidenced by the major projects we are currently carrying out on all continents. The third pillar, which we call our Proximity Network and generates the largest part of our revenue, is made up of our local subsidiaries – our front line. In France, where our markets are mature, Eurovia and VINCI Construction divisions and branches will continue to operate as usual and to bring

Page 6: BUILDING FOR TOMORROW

to bear their expertise throughout the country, close to their customers. Outside France, both entities’ networks of local subsidiaries are now grouped by geographical area: the United Kingdom, our second-largest market; continental Europe and Africa; the Americas and Oceania. In short, this organisation allows our companies to focus on their own catchment areas and markets, while making the most of the complementarity between them, which ultimately benefits our customers’ projects.

How do you manage both the global and local within such a large entity?

We remain faithful to the principle of decentralisation that is in VINCI’s DNA: the heart of our organisation is the 1,000 operational entities that deliver our daily performance across our projects

and production sites. All VINCI Construction executives, starting with myself, are committed to supporting the development of our business units. At the same time, and working as always from the ground up, we have structured our organisation in a manner that fosters cross-business cooperation and the pooling of expertise – within VINCI Construction, with the other VINCI business lines or with our external partners. This will enable us to provide the best local solutions within a framework that makes it possible to marshal collective resources and encourages new initiatives.

This management model demonstrated its effectiveness during the pandemic. We reiterated that the absolute priority for all our companies is to guarantee everyone’s health and safety. Each one of them then developed and implemented solutions tailored to their local situations, which varied greatly from one country or region to another. In this respect, I must point out that thanks to constructive social dialogue at grassroots level, it was possible in some regions to keep operations going or to restart them swiftly and safely on sites that were at a standstill due to lockdown measures.

How do you view business in 2020 and what is your outlook for 2021?

The responsiveness I have just mentioned, combined with our highly diverse markets and geographies, attest to the resilience of our model in the face of a crisis. This was reflected in our revenue suffering only a slight decline, our cash flow remaining remarkably high, and our earnings holding up well, with those of Eurovia in particular surpassing industry standards once again. VINCI Construction’s earnings prior to the change in scope were adversely affected by the restructuring costs of Entrepose, our oil and gas business that is now part of the Major Projects Division and is refocusing on its most buoyant markets, and by the sanitary measures that hampered VINCI Construction’s activity in France, particularly in the building sector. However, across all markets, VINCI Construction also held up rather well.

Most importantly, 2020 was a year of record order intake, with a backlog of more than €32 billion, which sends a very positive signal for the year 2021 and beyond. Despite the crisis, in addition to a very large number

of small-scale projects, we secured a series of major contracts. These include the Grand Paris Express and The Link tower in the Greater Paris area, the HS2 high-speed line in the United Kingdom, and road infrastructure projects in Africa, Canada and Australia. This confirms our ability to harness our expertise and our teams to support our customers on large, complex projects as well as on specialised, local projects.

In the context of uncertainty surrounding the course of the pandemic, our strong order book gives us peace of mind: it allows us to continue being selective and to target those projects that generate the most value, thus enabling us to pursue our policy of profitable growth.

Over and above economic performance, what is your goal for VINCI Construction?

This is not about size. We want to be leaders in each of our markets, of course, and we want to achieve this through our economic performance as measured in terms of margin rate, but also through the quality of our expertise and our contribution to the environment, society and employment, by upholding the values and the public-interest approach of the VINCI Group. Our aspiration is that our clients, as well as the talents who come to work with us, will choose us for our ability to deliver global performance, for the benefit of all our stakeholders.

The current period drives us to work even harder to achieve this goal because our construction specialities are more crucially important than ever in helping the world to meet the challenges of tomorrow!

“Our organisation allows our companies to focus on

their own catchment areas and markets […],

which ultimately benefits our customers’ projects.”

“Our aspiration is that our clients, as well as the talents

who come to work with us, will choose us for our

ability to deliver global performance, for the benefit

of all our stakeholders.”

In French Guiana, a comprehensive contract to build 96 social housing units will help to accommodate many new families to the neighbourhood. The off-plan operation was carried out on behalf of Sodim Guyane.

In the final and most complex phase of the modernisation of Avignon's opera house,

renovation work began on the main building, which dates back to 1848, and its Italianate theatre,

which are both listed historical monuments.

This remarkable project in the heart of Paris (70,000 sq. metres of floor space, as many as 1,300 people involved) included the renovation of various Art Nouveau and Art Deco buildings. Located at the centre of the complex, the department store's 20,000 sq. metres of retail space will soon be opening up to visitors.

The New Coastal Motorway will facilitate travel between Saint-Denis, the main city, and the island's commercial harbour some 20 km to the west. Positioned out at sea, the viaduct is designed to last 100 years and withstand extreme events.

This railway bridge, built in 1901, has a special place in the history of architecture thanks to its three inverted arches which hold up the structure under the track. New arches were put into place by rotating the old and new assemblies deck-to-deck by 180° using hydraulic jacks.

Nearly fifteen years after an initial project, Soletanche Bachy's teams are taking part in the design and building of two 350 m berths and a closing quay at Port 2000. Environmental measures implemented in connection with this project include using Exegy low-carbon concrete, optimising resources (sludge, water) and preserving protected areas. The work will optimise capacity at France's busiest container port.

6,000 piles were driven to a depth of 30 m at the construction site of the new Dos Bocas refinery for Samsung Engineering; ground improvement operations were also carried out under the future tanks. Located in the state of Tabasco, the refinery will be the largest ever built in Mexico. It is part of a comprehensive government plan to reduce petrol imports and consolidate the country's energy sovereignty.

In this open-cast mine located 3,500 m above sea level, Terre Armée has built a 110 m Techspan® tunnel as well as two Geotrel™ MSE walls. The third wall is under way and will measure 270 m in length and 25 m in height. In this region where winters are especially harsh, these walls will serve to protect the mining facilities from avalanches.

In New Zealand, the Napier Port construction project was designed in consultation with a variety of stakeholders (Maori regional representatives, divers, fishermen, scientists) to ensure that the impacts of dredging and construction work on the marine environment of Hawke's Bay are properly identified and managed.

It took two months’ work to restore traffic on the LGV Est line. This major high-speed rail route between north-east France, Germany, Switzerland and Luxembourg was cut following a slope failure.

The High Speed 2 (HS2) rail line project is currently the largest infrastructure

project in Europe. It will connect the Midlands and northern England, which

are currently served by a number of lines dating back to the nineteenth century.

In Cambodia, construction of the Bakheng treatment plant will deliver drinking water to almost 1 million people. It will enter into operation in 2022.

As part of a contract for resurfacing roads in south-east France, the surface course on the Lones bridge, which crosses over the Rhône river and connects the Drôme and Ardèche administrative departments, was replaced at night to minimise disruption to users.

In Australia, the project to extend a water pipeline northwards requires extensive specialist skills. The route crosses two waterways, the M1 motorway, land set aside for future road-building, private lots and fragile natural areas. Due to these special features, non-invasive technologies are required.

Total renovation of runway 10-28 at Rennes Bretagne airport and all associated infrastructure will bring the VINCI Airports-managed facility up to standard. Work was completed on 11 May 2020, allowing government and air medical services to resume during the peak of the Covid-19 crisis.

Undertaken as part of the Grand Paris Express project, the extension of metro Line 14

from Villejuif to the future Maison Blanche station in Paris will make daily travel easier

for the region’s residents.

The Abdelmoumen pumped-storage hydroelectric plant project includes

earthworks for two large reservoirs and the construction of a power station

embedded in the hillside. This reversible plant will generate electricity in turbine

mode, and pump water from the lower to the upper reservoir in pumping mode, thus

providing renewable energy on demand.

The city of Melbourne has just begun its largest-ever rail project, the Metro Tunnel, which will add new capacity to the existing metro system, the City Loop. Real-time monitoring of the City Loop is essential so as to avoid any structural impact from construction of the Metro Tunnel. Sixense has fitted four City Loop tunnels with its patented Cyclops system to ensure the underground transport system can continue to operate safely during construction.

In North Carolina, a former military munitions factory is being repurposed into creative workspaces, restaurants and housing as part of a large-scale redevelopment project undertaken by the City of Charlotte.

Resurfacing work on the A88 motorway and the interchange connecting the A28 and A88, two major routes in the Normandy region, was performed at night to limit inconvenience to users.

The Thames Tideway programme involves designing

and building an extensive underground sewerage system

to transfer and store wastewater and stormwater.

It runs mostly under the Thames all the way to the Beckton

wastewater treatment plant in east London. This truly

exceptional engineering structure will help clean up the river by

preventing sewage and pollution spills during bad weather.

In Qatar, the four lines of the Lusail Light Rail Transit system will cover

a distance of 30 km, with seven underground stations and 25 at-grade

stations. A turnkey design-build project, the network will provide

environmentally friendly transport for a new city that will eventually

accommodate 200,000 residents and as many daily workers and visitors.

Maintenance on two raised sections of the A20 motorway provided an opportunity to lay a special asphalt mix on this critical link on the route between Paris and Toulouse. Viapont® is a paving material that weighs up to 40% less than conventional materials while providing comparable mechanical performance.

In Australia, work is underway on the first Smart Motorway in New South Wales; this will include realigning, extending and widening on- and off-ramps, and installing ramp meters and control signs.

People’s reluctance to use public transport during the Covid-19 crisis highlighted the importance of reserving road space for greener forms of mobility. In Lyon and other cities, local authorities redesigned urban streets to accommodate more bicycles and fewer fossil-fuel vehicles.

On the Côte Vermeille, in South-West France, the only two roads linking Sorède in the hills to Argelès-sur-Mer on the coast

are very unsuited to bicycles. There is now a dedicated cycling route linking the two municipalities, making green

mobility safer than ever.

Surface maintenance on the A62 motorway is particularly important as this route is used by 72,000 vehicles daily. This worksite, where respectively 40% and 50% of the binder and surface courses were recycled, also provided an opportunity to test a self-driving pre-marking vehicle.

In Maine, the rehabilitation of Route 1 between Caribou and Presque Isle won a NAPA Quality in Construction Award.

In Florida, just over five kilometres of the SR-417, a very busy limited-access toll road that forms the beltway around the city of Orlando, have been widened from four lanes to six. The new lanes will feature automated toll booths.

In Virginia, over 100,000 vehicles use the I-64 between Norfolk and Hampton

every day. Upgrade and extension operations on this link will help

ease congestion in the existing network. This major project calls for designing and building 5.3 km of viaducts over the sea and large-diameter tunnels

between two artificial islands, as well as widening 14.5 km of existing roads.

In Chile, this road upgrade project is the first to use on-site recycling using cement as a binder.

In north-east Poland, the new Szczecinek bypass now diverts through traffic away from this town of over 40,000 residents. The completion of the bypass has brought the total length of Poland’s expressways to 4,000 km.

A large number of cycling lanes are being delivered as part of design-build contracts in Poland to create a large-scale network of routes that sit seamlessly in their environment. They form part of the VeloDunajec network (237 km in Poland) and the EuroVelo 11, a cycling route that runs from Norway all the way to Greece.

From light rail systems and railway lines to metros

and cycling lanes, VINCI Construction companies

work worldwide to develop low-carbon transport solutions.

The extension of Line 3 of the Saint-Étienne light rail system,

one of the lines delivered recently by Eurovia, only took 16 months to complete. With the exception of cycling, tram

and light rail are the most environmentally friendly form

of urban transport: one train carries the same number

of passengers as 170 cars.

VINCI Construction and AgroParisTech have created Urbalia, a startup dedicated to embedding biodiversity and urban farming into urban development projects. Its mission is to support local authorities, planners and builders with solutions that integrate biodiversity into their projects.

Functional restoration, landscaping and hydroecological engineering at the Île Charlemagne lake near Orléans improved water quality. Operations included dredging, creating a reedbed to encourage wildlife, earthworks for flood management and work to combat creeping water primrose, an invasive non-native plant.

Eurovia has trialled AVUS, a tool developed in-house via the Leonard* intrapreneur programme, at the worksite for the A-Modell (public-private partnership) A7 motorway in Germany. AVUS is a suite of innovative services that maps all on-site underground utilities with centimetre-level accuracy.

An electric Hydrofraise® is used to create concrete shaft walls at several sites of the East works package of the Thames Tideway Tunnel project. This new Hydrofraise® is more environmentally friendly and very much quieter as the diesel engine has been replaced by an electric motor, minimising disruption to people living nearby.

DISCO is a tool to guide miners digging tunnels using traditional techniques. The solution allows production teams to compare theoretical profiles against the actual geometry excavated, without the need for surveyors and while excavation is under way.

Using virtual reality when designing specific tools and materials allows our design and production teams to virtually explore and adapt functions they are working on, such as access to the work area, workstation ergonomics, traffic flows, collective protection, etc.).

Sixense provided its expertise to a programme in Ivory Coast run by the FarmStrong Foundation which included a topographical survey beneath a primary forest canopy, high-resolution orthophotography to identify certain tree species, and a vertical analysis of vegetation layers. The data collected will, mainly by measuring vegetation growth, increase understanding of the current situation and allow for targeted interventions benefiting the forest. Local farmers will also see their working and living conditions improve thanks to the introduction of integrated farming systems.

Tackling the challenge of in-road battery charging is critical to increasing the uptake of e-mobility. Germany will be carrying out a pilot project on a 100-metre strip of road at the EnBW training centre in 2021. The second phase will see the building of a 600-metre section of public road linking the training centre to the city of Karlsruhe. The city’s public transport company intends to use the system to charge its buses.
