Urban transportation systems: delivering turn-key solutions

VINCI Construction Grands Projets works in partnership with the different equipment and rolling-stock manufacturers and always seeks the most appropriate partnerships on a project-by-project basis. As a result, clients deal with a single touch-point and, at project completion, take delivery of a turn-key solution.

To complete an urban transit project successfully, it is necessary to integrate different system components supplied by specialized companies in a seamless manner within a work environment built on dialogue and collaboration.

Project management planning includes client participation on issues such as the compatibility between different systems and systems interactivity in terms of technical options, costs, and planning. Our goal-oriented approach to task management helps minimize timeframes both for specific tasks and the project as a whole.

Expert project task sequencing

Route optimization / VINCI Construction Grands Projets is able to recommend optimal routes that address transportation needs and take into account site constraints (geological characteristics, access issues, construction methods) as well as alternative routes to meet client needs.

Design / With its 400 design and engineering specialists, VINCI Construction Grands Projets can manage all phases and processes in the design of urban transportation systems.

Selecting rolling stock / VINCI Construction Grands Projets supports clients in selecting rolling stock based on each project’s specific line, network, and performance criteria.

Archeological excavations / Many underground projects in urban settings require archeological excavations at the worksite to preserve and showcase artefacts and locations of historical value.

Civil engineering / The civil engineering phase is a true showcase for VINCI Construction Grands Projets. In order to limit the impact on urban life, worksite planning and workflow are defined to minimize road traffic due to the project and disturbances.

Electromechanical equipment / Electromechanical devices and equipment are designed in the initial phase of the project and manufactured concurrently with the civil engineering phase. as work progress on the infrastructure allows it.

Integrating rolling stock / Rolling stock must be integrated in the system in coordination with civil engineering activities and electromechanical equipment.

Testing and commissioning / VINCI Construction Grands Projets possesses extensive experience in managing project test phases to ascertain that electrical, electromechanical, and control systems are all operating optimally.

Operations / Every day VINCI demonstrates its competence in the operation and upkeep of transportation infrastructure works and other major infrastructures.

Knowledge and skill sets

Architecture / VINCI Construction Grands Projets can successfully complete complex construction projects such as airports, train stations, hospitals, and stadiums anywhere in the world. One of its main objectives in every project we undertakes is to ensure the harmonious integration of the structure in its architectural and urban development.

Tracks and catenary wires / VINCI includes specialized teams expert in installing rail tracks and catenary wires – including ETF-Eurovia Travaux Ferroviaires, a recent addition to the Group.

Low current, automation, security systems / VINCI possesses a complete range of expertise required to operate an urban transportation system in compliance with international security standards: ticketing and access control, telephony, video monitoring, fire detection, audio systems, and supervisory control and data acquisition systems (SCADA).

Civil engineering / Every day, the Group uses approximately 10,000 m³ of concrete at various worksites throughout the world. It built its know-how in tunnel boring machine (TBM) technology, particularly the CAP tunnel guidance system, with over 1,000 km of tunnelling in the past 15 years.

Electromechanical equipment / VINCI defines solutions to meet energy requirements on each project, including use optimization and renewable energy alternatives. Its expertise extends to ventilation, escalators,
drainage systems, and fire safety systems.

Interior design / VINCI Construction Grands Projets manages interior design for stations and terminals, including finishes and coverings.

Maintenance workshops / For VINCI Construction Grands Projets, an urban transportation system includes maintenance workshops, testing technology, wash stations, and overhaul workshops.
