MORE THAN EARTHWORKS
While earthworks activity is VINCI Construction Terrassement “backbone”, it is not the only thing guaranteeing the performance of our actions.
We integrate all the expertise that enables the smooth implementation of an infrastructure or development project: water purification, construction of engineering structures, installation of noise barriers or soil remediation. These different lines of business serve four domains of activities: transport infrastructure, coastal and rivers amenities, environmental amenities and sites and platforms amenities.
PRACTICE INTELLIGENT EARTHMOVING
SPEAK THE LANGUAGE OF THE EARTH
Excavate, move and reuse the land, to make it usable. The art of earthworks consists in optimizing the resources generated by the project to be carried out, namely the excavated material, through modern and environmentally friendly engineering. The work undertaken by VINCI Construction Terrassement shapes the natural terrain of the site by constantly adapting operating methods to the type of soil and weather conditions encountered.
MANAGE ITS CHALLENGES
It is about finding a balance between what is extracted and what is reused, in order to limit the surpluses that can be assimilated to waste and the use of materials extracted from quarries. To do so, we bring our added value, in sum the ability to control the construction, from the study of the soil, the assessment of risk to the site completion.
ASSOCIATED SPECIALTIES
Our equipment
EQUIPMENT DEPARTMENT
The main role of the Equipment Department is to manage the technical and financial aspect of the VINCI Construction Terrassement and its associated subsidiaries’ equipment. As such, it must guarantee under the best conditions of technical and economic efficiency, a high level of material efficiency and offer solutions and equipment that comply with current regulations and are in line with the company’s needs.
MORE THAN 400 EARTH-MOVING EQUIPMENT
We own our own equipment fleet of more than 400 production machines, which are controlled in majority by GPS. In our repair center, we recondition and regenerate mechanical components and machines. In the regions or on each major construction site, decentralized workshops allow our mechanics to carry out maintenance and troubleshooting of the machines. The innovative capacity of the material department and work teams is a valuable resource for designing new machines or equipment adapted to the needs of a construction site: autograde, extruder for concrete ditches, clamps with accropods, deep shovels, modular track separation system…
INNOVATION AND ENGINEERING
TO GATHER ALL THE KNOW-HOW
The expertise is at the heart of VINCI Construction Terrassement’s business. To guarantee a global vision to our clients, we have a unique range of resources and specialised skills.
EXPERT TEAMS
From the risk assessment to the final worksites, we have set up over time and through our subsidiary IUR, a design office at the cutting edge of technology. The skills of the draftsmen, designers and engineers that compose it, offer us the technical capacity to manage all the different stages of our projects and to guarantee the quality of the works and infrastructures as well as the control of key dates.
DESIGN OFFICE
Our design office IUR develops all current, non-current, and major infrastructure projects design. It brings support during tender period, carries out preliminary measurements and intervenes during construction on any technical problems encountered.
DETAIL DESIGN STUDIES
They are used to draw up a detailed quantitative estimate, a provisional estimated calendar for carrying out the work, which serve as a reference for all contractors on a site.
MINING
The mining department prospects new sites and builds platforms and infrastructures access for the exploitation of mining sites, extraction and ore processing. It also contributes to the rehabilitation of sites at the end of the exploitation period.
