In January 2006, the Entreprise Métro d’Alger entrusted the construction of Algiers’ first metro line to a consortium consisting of VINCI Construction Grands Projets, Siemens Transportation Systems and the Spanish company CAF. It was a contract for the turnkey delivery of a 9.5 km rapid transit line with a rolling stock of 14 trains for the Algerian capital. Our portion consisted of the finish and layout of 10 stations (nine underground and one overground), as well as the construction of a 16,000 m² service building and maintenance rooms.
VINCI Construction Grands Projets was responsible for the civil engineering works, architectural layout of the stations, electromechanical equipment, escalators as well as the Anassers control station and the Bach Djerah maintenance rooms.

With 47,000 visitors on the first day of the successful inauguration of the Dannubia shopping centre in Bratislava, VINCI Construction Grands Projets was once again approached to design and build a shopping centre in Slovakia.
The company signed a contract with Carrefour in 2000 to build the Cassovia shopping centre in Košice, the second-largest city in eastern Slovakia. The first stone was laid on October 24, 2000. The project was delivered in June 2001, and the centre was opened to the public in August 2001.

VINCI Construction Grands Projets entregó su primer proyecto en Reino Unido en 1992 con la construcción del segundo puente sobre el estuario del río Severn, un puente atirantado que une Inglaterra con País de Gales. Desde entonces, la empresa ha sabido tejer a nivel local colaboraciones duraderas, como en la ampliación sin interrumpir el tráfico de un tramo de 23 kilómetros de la autopista M1, pasando de 3 a 4 carriles por sentido.

Supply drinking water to the cities of Muscat and Quriyat – that was the objective of this project entrusted to VINCI Construction Grands Projets by the Government of the Sultanate of Oman, which called for the construction of dams on the Wadi Dayqah some 80 kilometres from the capital city of Oman. The project included construction of a roller-compacted concrete main dam 572,000 cubic metres in volume, 75 metres high, and 435 metres long as well as an ancillary, earth-fill dam 960,000 cubic metres in volume, 48 metres high, and 360 metres long.

We were commissioned by Goro Nickel SAS to build a port with two 190 m wharves and two 90 m metal approach jetties for the Goro Nickel project. Located in Prony Bay, south of Noumea in New Caledonia, the purpose of the Goro Nickel port is to facilitate access to the nickel plant. We were also in charge of the civil engineering for this nickel plant, including the concrete infrastructures and all metal inserts.

After restoring Line 1 of the Saint Petersburg metro, VINCI Construction Grands Projets went back to the same city to build a shopping centre. Located on one of the main thoroughfares of the city, the Raduga shopping centre in Saint Petersburg occupies a 25-hectare site. This project consisted of a design-build mandate as well as the commercialisation and operation of an 80,000-m2 shopping complex including a REAL hypermarket, an OBI home improvement shop, a multiplex, a merchant gallery, and 3,500 parking spots. Situated 7 kilometres from the centre and close to the airport, the building was opened to the public on April 25, 2007.

VINCI Construction Grands Projets was mandated by Hydro-Québec to build the Toulnustouc hydroelectric power plant. The project includes excavation work, heavy engineering concreting, electricity, and architecture.

This bypass-construction project, led jointly by Morgan Est and the VINCI Group, was designed to easy the flow of traffic south of Newport. Along with a 9.3-kilometre bypass road, the mandate called for upgrades to existing roads and the construction of a 195-metre bowstring arch bridge spanning the River Usk.
VINCI Construction Grands Projets oversaw design and construction, while VINCI Concessions managed funding, operation, and maintenance.

Construction of this dual rail tunnel below the Pannerdensch Canal was part of the “Betuwe” project, a new rail line designed to convey merchandise between the port of Rotterdam and Holland’s border with Germany. This 160-kilometre line can accommodate container railway cars. The work package assigned to us called for the design and construction of the Pannerdensch tunnel, a 6.3-kilometre structure. The project included construction of a dual bored tunnel 1,620 metres long (8.5 metres in inner diameter), portals and access ramps over a distance of 1,200 metres, and 3.3 kilometres of railway platform made from backfill material. In addition, the Pannerdensch Canal tunnel possesses a special feature: it is equipped with gates (square cofferdams) at either end designed to prevent flooding.

The Eastmain-1 hydroelectric facility is made up of two hydroelectric power stations, a damn and a reservoir on the Eastmain River in Québec. This project was undertaken by the James Bay Energy Company for Hydro-Québec between 2002 and 2012.
Opened in 2007 and located 88 kilometers north of Nemiscau, in the Nord-du-Québec administrative region, the Eastmain-1 power station has an installed capacity of 507 megawatts.
JANIN ATLAS undertook the construction of the temporary Bypass Tunnel for the construction of Eastmain-1.
