globalise the relationship with their technical
partners and move into international-scale
framework agreements. This
change affects not only the maintenance
and services activities, which grew in 2013,
but also the roll-out of integrated offerings
for such projects as engineering, installation
and maintenance of production lines
in the automotive industry. For example,
Actemium opened a location in Russia in
2013 to support Renault at its Togliatti site,
having previously rolled out the production
lines at the manufacturer’s new facilities
in Morocco, Brazil and Romania. Actemium
is working in a similar way with the Mars
food-processing group in around 10 countries,
in an extension of a first project at a
site in the Netherlands.
The most buoyant industrial sectors in
Europe in 2013 were aerospace, cosmetics,
logistics and environmental, particularly
waste management. The Group also performed
well in the chemicals sector, with
the renewal or signature of refinery maintenance
contracts in France for Total and
Arkema. In addition, major upgrade projects
were executed at the BASF site in
Ludwigshafen, Germany, where VINCI
Energies business units have operated for
more than a century. Outside Europe, business
was brisk in the mining industry and
in oil and gas infrastructure.
A large number of oil and gas sector projects
were carried out in Africa, the Middle
East, Australia and China, including a new
€45 million contract awarded by Total to
commission and maintain Egina, its new
platform off the coast of Nigeria.

VINCI Energies generated €1.6 billion in
revenue in this sector (18% of the total).
The business activity, concentrated primarily
in France, was affected by the sluggish
economy, especially in service sector
buildings in the regions. VINCI Energies
business units were, however, able to make
the most of their ability to carry out very
large and highly complex building projects
in which technical works constitute an
increasingly important component.
This capability was particularly in evidence
in the major operations carried out
in synergy with VINCI Construction business
units. During the year, the first phase
of the new SFR headquarters in Saint Denis,
near Paris, was completed and the second
phase got under way (total value of the
works for VINCI Energies: €65 million).
Other major projects carried out in synergy
with the Group included the Eqho Tower in
La Défense and hospitals in Chambéry and
Koutio, New Caledonia. For the latter, the
consortium led by VINCI Energies took on
the full range of design studies and technical
works packages. The Group also worked
on a large number of stadiums, completing
the Allianz Riviera in Nice and booking
new orders for Arena 92 in the Greater
Paris area and the Grand Stade in Lyon.
