The first motorway under a public-private partnership in the Czech Republic
_ In the Czech Republic and Slovakia, business remained robust, thanks in particular to the D4 motorway project in the Czech Republic, carried out on behalf of VINCI Highways (VINCI Concessions) by most of VINCI Construction’s regional subsidiaries, which have joined forces within the DIVia Stavební consortium. These subsidiaries also handed over a new section of the D35 motorway in the Czech Republic – a project which included launching a bridge over a railway line – and continued construction work on 14.3km of the R2 expressway between Šaca and Košice Oľšany, in Slovakia. Civil engineering subsidiary SMP completed the solar dryer at the Mariánské Lázně wastewater treatment plant, the first system of its kind commissioned in the Czech Republic. Construction subsidiary Průmstav delivered the Rodbo mixed-use project in Prague. In building activities in Poland, Warbud handed over several projects in the cities of Wrocław (Olawa Gate, rated “BREEAM® Excellent”) and Opole (tax centre, public transit hub), and won a number of contracts in the healthcare sector (military hospital in Lublin, toxicology centre in Łódź, St. John Paul II hospital in Wadowice) and in the aeronautics industry (renovation of a factory for the Polskie Zakłady Lotnicze group).
Motorway maintenance
_ In Chile, Bitumix won two major motorway contracts in the Antofagasta region and saw its motorway maintenance contracts in the Greater Santiago area renewed.
