"VINCI DESIGNATED PREFERRED BIDDER FOR REPLACEMENT AND
AUTOMATION OF 29 MANUALLY OPERATED DAMS
ON THE RIVERS AISNE AND MEUSE
A 30-year partnership contract
Total investment of about €270 million
The consortium led by VINCI Concessions, in partnership with SHEMA (EDF Group), has been
designated preferred bidder by Voies Navigables de France (VNF) for the partnership contract
covering the replacement of 29 manually operated dams on the rivers Aisne and Meuse and the
installation of associated equipment.
The contract, which will be for a period of 30 years from the date of signature, calls for the design,
financing and construction of 29 automated dams and their associated equipment, followed by
operation, and routine and heavy maintenance. It also covers the deconstruction of the dams to be
replaced, as well as the upgrade, operation, and routine and heavy maintenance of two dams that
have already been automated. In addition, several of the dams are to be converted into microhydropower
plants.
Construction, including studies and administrative procedures, will take place over a period of less
than seven years. The works will be executed by a construction joint venture led by VINCI
Construction France, represented by EMCC (leader), Tournaud, GTM Lorraine and CBR TP, and
including local small and medium-sized enterprises. Operation and maintenance will be carried out
by a specially created entity in which VINCI Concessions will have majority ownership.
The project, which is a key component in the modernisation of the river infrastructure for which
VNF is responsible, represents a total investment of about €270 million and will be required to meet
environmental performance objectives (ecological continuity and hydropower generation)."

St. Modwen, the UK’s leading regeneration specialist, has appointed VINCI Construction UK to
deliver the first phase of a £450m Science and Innovation Campus at Swansea University.
The contract will see the construction of a 65,000 square metre development on the shore front of
Swansea Bay with the aim of delivering world-leading research, innovation and education facilities
to the city and the surrounding community.
Over 25,000 square metres of academic space will be created, along with 899 student apartments,
associated retail space, highway works and on site infrastructure. The academic part of the campus
is formed of low rise, modern style buildings incorporating both R&D facilities and teaching space.

configurations, including an eight-storey tower with views across the bay. The scheme has been
designed in line with the BRE’s Environmental Assessment Method.
The scheme received planning permission in December 2012 and preparatory work has already
commenced on site.
VINCI Construction UK’s work on the contract for this first phase is set for completion in
September 2015."
