WASTE RECOVERY AND RECYCLING: METHANISATION<br />

Methanisation is a waste treatment process used to recover and recycle waste as an alternative to landfi lling. It is in widespread<br />

use in Europe except in France, where <strong>VINCI</strong> Environnement is helping to promote it through a variety of processes, which the company can implement. The<br />

performance of these processes enabled the company to win the contract to build the new treatment plant for the Montpellier metropolitan area in southern<br />

France. The facility, which will cost €68 million to build, will have two treatment lines: one for biological waste (33,000 tonnes/year), the other for residual<br />

waste (170,000 tonnes/year). Construction got under way in early 2006, following six months of studies.<br />

Bottom. Multi-technical and multi-service maintenance provided by <strong>VINCI</strong> Construction companies to large service-sector facilities now cover a total area<br />

of 4 million sq. metres, including 500,000 sq. metres in the La Défense business district just outside Paris (above, work at the Technip tower).<br />
