VINCI PLC Group Review

This year’s VINCI PLC Group Review was attended by 150 senior managers representing all aspects of the business. John Stanion, VINCI PLC Chairman & Chief Executive, summed up the challenges the Company faces in light of the difficult economic circumstances, underlining our ability to withstand and emerge in an even stronger position from the current recession.

“The key characteristics of VINCI PLC are the ability to anticipate, survive, change, adapt and grow, whilst maintaining tight control of costs, and always to be quick to react to and make the most of the opportunities that come our way.

With the acquisition of Taylor Woodrow, VINCI PLC is now a market leader. The combination of Taylor Woodrow’s award winning engineering, technical and project management capabilities with the strong regional network and profit driven mentality of Norwest Holst, gives us a capability and reach that bring all facets of the construction market in the UK within our grasp.

It is my belief that we have the people, the expertise, the strategy and the potential to look forward with confidence.”John Stanion, Chairman & Chief Executive, VINCI PLC

VINCI Construction UK LimitedAt the beginning of the year, following the acquisition of Taylor Woodrow in September 2008 and the subsequent restructuring, VINCI PLC reorganised its contracting activities by consolidating its operations in the name of VINCI Construction UK Limited.

VINCI Construction UK Limited comprises six divisions: Building, Civil Engineering, Air, Facilities, Technology and Regional Contracting.

VINCI PLC Achieves Record Turnover

In 2008, VINCI PLC achieved record turnover of £1.02 billion (2007 £778 million). Profit before tax remained largely unchanged at £16.2 million (2007 £17.8 million), after excluding one-off gains of £22.6 million in 2007 derived from asset sales and discontinued activities.

VINCI Year End Results

In 2008, VINCI’s results showed turnover up 10.3% to €33.5 billion. Operating profit increased by 8.3% to €0.4 billion and net profit increased by 9.4% to a record €1.59 billion

VINCI Construction UK (Air)Heathrow Terminal 1 Flight Connections Centre

The Flight Connections Centre (FCC) and Immigration Project at Heathrow’s Terminal 1 were completed in three main phases.

The first phase featured the construction of the new transfer security facility on the first floor of the existing FCC building. Once this was operational, the existing facility on the second floor was closed, making way for the new immigration hall. The final phase involved the construction of the new toilet and rest room facilities and the completion of the new passenger connections product throughout the FCC building.

Heathrow Terminal 4 Check-in Extension and Refurbishment cTaylor Woodrow was involved in the original construction of Heathrow’s Terminal 4 and is currently working on the £100 million project to extend the check-in area to accommodate an increase in the number of airlines based at the Terminal by the end of 2009 from 11 to 45.

The provision of 33 check-in desks and 72 ticket desks will cater for the increase in passenger numbers from 4 million per annum currently, to 11 million per annum once the new airlines have moved in.

Critical to the success of this project has been the ability to work in a live environment with minimal disruption to the travelling public.

The contract includes a highly sophisticated baggage system along with renovated piers and departure lounges.

VINCI Construction UK (Air/Technology)Heathrow Terminal 4 Façade d

The new, fully glazed façade at Heathrow’s Terminal 4 is being promoted by BAA as the benchmark for future bomb blast resistant façades at all their airports. Sample testing took place at VINCI Construction UK’s Technical Centre in Leighton Buzzard.

“Not only have you met what at one time looked like a difficult deadline but, in doing so, have also more than satisfied the quality standards asked of you and have provided BAA with a really fine looking new frontage to T4 Departures.”Stevan Brown, Design Technical Leader, BAA

VINCI Construction UK (Air)Heathrow Terminal 4 A380 Link

The first ever A380 link for Heathrow’s Terminal 4 was completed in time for January this year.

A huge factor in the successful delivery of the project was the pre-fabrication of all fixed links, bridges and the extension of the link which took place in a compound dedicated to the site team near BA World Cargo.

A major milestone was reached in October last year with the installation of three support columns, six bridges, three rotunda and three loading bridges, all within a period of 15 days. This was followed by the seven week fit-out of the node building and the departure lounge gate rooms.

VINCI Construction UK (Civil Engineering)Liquefied Natural Gas Terminal, Isle of Grain c

With gas reserves in the North Sea rapidly dwindling, a massive investment programme is underway to build Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) storage facilities in the UK, enabling LNG to be imported from around the world.

The Civil Engineering division is currently constructing concrete LNG storage tanks at South Hook LNG import facility in Milford Haven and on the Isle of Grain in Kent.

At the LNG terminals, a single shipment will deliver its full 190,000m3 payload of LNG at minus 160 degrees centigrade into a single LNG tank. Hence the dimensions of the tanks are huge and technical specifications demanding.

The Royal Albert Hall would fit inside one of the Isle of Grain LNG storage tanks, making them the largest above ground LNG storage tanks in the world. They have an internal diameter of 90.4m, a top wall height of 39m above the base slab, and a domed roof that peaks in the centre of the tank which is 10.3m higher than the top of the walls.

VINCI Construction UK (Civil Engineering)

Docklands Light Railway Three-Car Capacity Enhancement ProjectThe Civil Engineering division is undertaking a £208 million design and build project to enhance Docklands Light Railway (DLR) infrastructure to allow the current two-carriage trains to be upgraded to three-carriage trains. This is in response to growing user numbers and to meet passenger demand during the London 2012 Olympic and Paralymic Games.

East India Station is one of a number of stations being upgraded as part of the DLR three-car project.

During a 52 hour weekend possession, major capacity upgrade works were carried out which extended its platforms by 30 metres on each side of the track to accommodate the extra carriage.

Piled foundations and concrete support columns were constructed on site in preparation for the extension which involved two 110 tonne pre-cast concrete beams, measuring 30 metres each, being lifted into position by a tandem lift using two 500 tonne cranes. The beams had previously been fitted with backscreen steelwork, platform drainage and electrical ductwork. Pre-finished platform slabs were then installed, along with back screen glazing.

Through careful planning and the efficiencies of the construction methods, the site team consolidated what would have been a two month project into two days, thereby substantially reducing disruption to the railway and nearby residents.

Soil EngineeringAirdrie to Bathgate Railway

This £300 million project, funded by Transport Scotland, will provide a fast public transportation system between Glasgow, north Lanarkshire, west Lothian and Edinburgh. The rail link will re-open a 23km section which was closed in 1982 and will be fully operational by 2010.

As part of the project, Soil Engineering undertook the £3.8 million contract to provide ground and site investigation, which began in December 2007 as a 19 week programme.

Numerous logistical problems were successfully overcome, such as working on the live railway under possession using multiple rigs along with the constraints imposed by the environmentally sensitive nature of much of the area.

As a result of this and alterations to the scope of the works, the original programme of 19 weeks was extended by agreement with Network Rail to 40 weeks and included other services such as a utility survey involving the hand excavation of 38 trial pits and trenches.
