VINCI Construction Grands Projets in the British Isles

VINCI Construction Grands Projets first steps in the UK were made in 1992 with the construction of the second bridge on the Severn Estuary, a cable-stayed bridge connecting England and Wales. Its branch in London was established to ensure the development of local long-term partnerships based in the UK. This has permitted us to participate in the construction of three major sections of the Channel Tunnel Rail Link: CTRL 410 (North Downs Tunnel); CTRL 350 (Medway River Crossing); and CTRL 310 (West Thames), including the in-house design of Thurrock, Rainham and Aveley viaducts. VINCI Construction Grands Projets also constructed all the seven rail and road tunnels of the new Terminal 5 of Heathrow Airport in London.

VINCI’s integrated construction-concessions business model won VINCI Construction Grands Projets the Newport Southern Distributor Road design and construction contract, which included the award-winning City bridge crossing the River Usk (Green Apple Award/Structural Steel Design Award).

Clackmannanshire Bridge: At the end of 2008, we completed the design and construction of the world’s second longest push-launched bridge (the Clackmannanshire Bridge in Scotland); and in May 2010, the widening of the M1 near Nottingham (junction 25 to 28). Our teams are currently working on the Lee Tunnel Project in London, on the Liverpool Street and Whitechapel station tunnels for Crossrail C510 and on the advanced works for Tottenham Court Road Crossrail station (C421).

Our prime goal is the design and construction of major infrastructure and complicated structures, working in partnership with our British and Irish colleagues.
