Outlook<br />
In car parks, the acquisition in July <strong>1999</strong> of the<br />
leading French company and European Number 2<br />
Sogeparc by the SGE Group should make it possible<br />
to leverage promising synergies as already<br />
demonstrated by a joint bid put in by <strong>Sogea</strong> and<br />
Sogeparc for the construction, renovation and<br />
operation of 5 car parks in Bordeaux.<br />
<strong>Sogea</strong>’s multidisciplinary teams, their comprehensive<br />
engineering, design, construction and operation<br />
capabilities, and their local roots are advantages on<br />
which the company can build, particularly in the private<br />
sector (hotels, clinics, developers) in a market whose<br />
potential <strong>Sogea</strong>’s recent successes clearly demonstrate.<br />
Interesting prospects for the company should also<br />
be developing soon, especially in the capital, when<br />
a number of large concessions run out.<br />

The development of maintenance activity will be<br />
coming essentially from private-sector service<br />
companies. In France, the main <strong>Sogea</strong> subsidiary<br />
specialized in this line of business is Sicra<br />
Maintenance Multiservices which in 1996 was the<br />
first French company in this sector to receive ISO<br />
9002 certification. Its expertise should gradually<br />
extend to new regions such as the West and the<br />
South East where the service sector has expanded<br />
considerably over the last couple of years.<br />
In water treatment, <strong>Sogea</strong> transferred most of its<br />
contracts to Générale des Eaux over the last few<br />
years. However, its comprehensive capabilities<br />
(design, construction, operation) and its roots in<br />
local markets have enabled it to keep and develop<br />
its water treatment and purification activity.<br />
1. Sicra Maintenance<br />
Multiservices obtained<br />
the maintenance contract<br />
for the Tribunal de grande<br />
instance at Bobigny.<br />
4. <strong>Sogea</strong> operates<br />
several water treatment<br />
and purification units<br />
in mainland France and<br />
in the overseas territories.<br />
