The Balfour Beatty VINCI SYSTRA HS2 joint venture announced its formal contract award for the management of the construction and delivery of HS2’s Old Oak Common station, in North West London, in September 2019. The joint venture will be responsible for the final design, construction and commissioning of Old Oak Common station, delivering 6 underground platforms and 8 platforms on the adjacent Great Western Main Line. Once completed, HS2’s new Old Oak Common station will become the UK’s best-connected rail station, providing direct services to three major airports and eight of Britain’s ten largest cities.
As one of the most significant construction projects in Great Britain for decades, HS2 will act as a catalyst for growth, boosting growth in the Midlands and North. Phase 1 for these contracts had been awarded in July 2017 for the design of the West Midlands area, where more than 500 engineers and technicians, including the joint venture’s designers, worked successfully to enable the project to switch from design to construction. The construction contract (phase 2) for HS2s main civil engineering works packages Lots N1 and N2 was awarded to the Balfour Beatty VINCI (BBV) joint venture in April 2020. The scope of works for these packages comprise extensive earthworks, ground engineering, viaducts and tunnels along a 90 km stretch between the Long Itchington Wood Green tunnel in the south to the West Coast Main Line tie-in near Litchfield in the north with a major junction into central Birmingham at Curzon Street.
The contract involves the design, construction and financing of 27.5km of infrastructure for a light-rail transit (LRT) system in order to extend the Confederation Line to the west and east of the city of Ottawa.
It includes the construction of 4km of rail in cut-and-cover tunnels, 20 engineering structures, 16 stations, of which one underground and one elevated, and a maintenance centre. It also covers the delivery of associated systems.
The Link Alliance consortium, leaded by VINCI Construction Grands Projets, is in charge of carrying out three lots on this project.
Lot 3 covers the design and construction of a 3.45 km extension of a railway line, including 3.2 km of tunnel, to connect the existing stations of Britomart and Mount Eden. On the route, 3 new stations will be built, including 2 underground.
Lot 5 concerns the construction of two civil engineering structures and a new 2 km lane, while maintaining traffic on the North Auckland Line.
Lot 7 includes the installation of electrical systems, catenaries, signaling and control system for the entire City Rail Link.
Duplicar la capacidad del metro de Copenhague es la aspiración del programa de ampliación de la red de la capital danesa, en el que VINCI Construction Grands Projets aporta sus conocimientos técnicos en obras subterráneas. Nuestro consorcio se adjudicó el contrato de la línea cuatro del metro de Copenhague en la modalidad de diseño y construcción. El proyecto incluye: 2 túneles de 4,4 km cada uno (con tuneladoras de presión de tierra), la obra civil correspondiente a 5 estaciones subterráneas y 2 pozos de desvío, la segunda obra, los sistemas electromecánicos y las obras de acabado arquitectónicas de las estaciones, así como la ventilación en los túneles.
El proyecto Grand Paris Express transformará la vida cotidiana de miles de ciudadanos de la región parisina a partir de 2024 y hasta 2030: VINCI Construction Grands Projets pone su experiencia en trabajos subterráneos y en la gestión de grandes proyectos al servicio de esta aspiración para una movilidad más eficiente en Île-de-France. En febrero de 2018, obtuvimos el lote GC02 de la línea 14 sur, que conectará la estación Olympiades (Distrito XIII de París) con el Aeropuerto de Orly.
As part of Eole, the project to extend line E of the RER rail network to the west, VINCI Construction Grands Projets, a member of the consortium led by VINCI Construction France, took part in the construction of a new train station under the CNIT dome, along with tunnels measuring a kilometre long, a shaft 40 metres deep and 15 metres in diameter, and several underground walkways connecting line E to line A of the RER, to lines L and U of the Île-de-France suburban rail network, and line T2 of the Tramway system.
New metro Lines 2 and 3 in Athens criss-cross the city from north to south and east to west. This turnkey design-build project included two tunnels, 9.2 and 8.4 kilometres long, respectively, and no fewer than 21 stations. This infrastructure, which is used by 600,000 passengers on a daily basis, has reduced car traffic in the city centre and cut the pollution that is harming the Greek capital’s historic centre by 8%. Today, the Athens metro is among the most modern in all of Europe.
El Aeropuerto de Santiago de Chile ocupa una posición estratégica en América del Sur (6º mayor aeropuerto), y sobre todo, en Chile, ya que es lugar de paso obligado para las conexiones internacionales.
Junto con nuestros socios construimos cinco nuevas terminales, con una superficie total de 250.000 m², a fin de duplicar la capacidad de acogida del aeropuerto actual, que pasará de 15 a 30 millones de pasajeros.
El contrato incluye, asimismo, la reforma de una parte de la terminal existente de 30.000 m², dos edificios de estacionamiento de cuatro niveles de 93.000 m², y 800.000 m² de estacionamiento en superficie y vías aeroportuarias.
El metro de El Cairo empezó a construirse en 1981 y su construcción no se ha detenido desde entonces. Esta colaboración forma parte de un programa de ordenamiento territorial: el metro de El Cairo es un ferrocarril metropolitano que responde a las necesidades de la capital, congestionada de día y de noche. En 1981 se trataba de la primera red de metro construida en África. Contribuimos a construir 3 líneas de metro de las cuales la línea 3 está parcialmente abierta y sus ampliaciones se entregarán en 2018. Cada estación consta de 3 niveles: el de la boletería, un nivel intermedio (en el que hay distintos locales técnicos) y el nivel de los andenes.
