MATERIALS: A STRATEGIC FACILITY IN ANTWERP<br />

In <strong>2005</strong>, Eurovia and Van Wellen (a subsidiary of CFE in which <strong>VINCI</strong> Construction holds a 45% interest) set up a port facility<br />

in Antwerp, Belgium, to store, process and trade construction materials. Supplied by sea, the site can automatically unload and store<br />

6,000 tonnes of materials per hour in a single operation. Its strategic location makes it particularly suitable for supplying the markets of northern Europe,<br />

which have a shortage of road materials. Throughput at this facility is expected to reach a million tonnes per year by 2007.<br />

section, including the Sioule viaduct, and the 10.2 km Terrasson – Brive-Nord<br />

section for Autoroutes du Sud de la France.<br />
