VINCI Construction Grands Projets was mandated by Tuc Rail to build the Liefkenshoek rail link to ease the flow of freight traffic in the port of Antwerp. This public-private partnership (PPP) contract, which has a 42-year term, called for the design, funding, construction, and maintenance of a dual railway infrastructure 16.2 kilometres long.
To be more specific, the project called for a backfilled rail platform (4.76 km) with several concrete structures, an open-trench and cut-and-cover section (4.27 km), upgrades to the existing underwater Beveren tunnel to comply with current standards (1.2 km), and construction of two parallel tunnels, to be bored concurrently, each 5.97 kilometres long running under the Kanaaldock and the Escaut river.
This infrastructure was designed to connect the north and south shores of the port of Antwerp and enable freight flow under the canal and the Escaut river.

Since 2004, Cambodia has experienced economic growth, which has resulted in an increase in the number of travellers, including both among the local population and visiting tourists. To respond to growing needs, we designed and built extensions at two airports in the country, thereby doubling their surface areas. VINCI Airports relied on the expertise of VINCI Construction Grands Projets to achieve these expansion projects. Within the VINCI Group, concession know-how is combined with design-build know-how to respond optimally to future user needs.
In addition, in 2017, has been delivered a new arrivals hall and boarding-area extension at Phnom Penh Airport.

Usually, cities develop light rail transit (LRT) systems as a means of addressing existing traffic problems. This project, however, was completely atypical: it called for the development of an LRT in a city that existed only on paper.
The initial phase consisted in designing and building seven underground stations, a viaduct over the motorway that connects Doha to the northern part of the country, and preliminary works that included a depot and maintenance workshop for the LRT system. The second phase consisted in the construction of 25 stations and a depot, architectural and electromechanical lots, integrated project management, track-laying, power supply, telecommunications and control, and the delivery by our partner Alstom of 35 railcars equipped with catenary-free technology. The Yellow Line The yellow line was delivered in 2019 and the green, red and purple lines in 2020.

Building more than 14 kilometres of tunnels below one of the world’s busiest airports is a challenging objective that we successfully achieved. To be precise, we were mandated to design and build 7 tunnels of a total length of 14,160 metres. To meet the site specific constraints and the requirements of an airport environment, the project team had to develop customised techniques, including the use of a dual-mode air/earth pressure balance TBM and implementation of sprayed concrete lining.

This infrastructure is a first for a country that has had, until now, only a bus network for a public transit system. Construction of this metro line is part of a vast development project in Qatar. VINCI Construction Grands Projets, through its local subsidiary QDVC, was mandated to design and build a 13.8-kilometre dual-tube underground rail line. The structure will connect Doha Airport to the district of Msheireb, the historic centre of the Qatari capital. The project also includes design and construction for five underground stations, 32 safety intert-tube connections, and five emergency evacuation shafts.
This five-year project mobilises a workforce of up to 3,000 people.

Design and construction of the Storebælt rail tunnels were part of a project to create road and rail links to Storebælt. These tunnels are located between the islands of Funen and Zealand and were built as part of the development of a fixed link between Copenhagen and the Continent. The Great Belt Fixed Link (a road and rail connection between Denmark’s two largest islands, Zealand and Funen) is the country’s leading transport corridor. In total, the project includes 18 kilometres of engineering structures. We were mandated to build 2 of these tunnels (under the sea), which are 7.4 kilometres long and have an interior diameter of 7.70 metres.

After taking part 10 years ago in the construction of the Hong Kong metro from 1998 to 2002 by building the 5 tunnels in Black Hills as part of the system’s expansion to the new city of Tseung Kwan O, VINCI Construction Grands Projets was mandated by MTR Corporation Limited (which operates the Hong Kong metro) to undertake 2 lots for the new Shatin to Central Link (CSL) line.
The first lot calls for the construction of a 2,475-metre using the blast method and a 1,400-metre twin-tube tunnel excavated by TBM. The second lot consists in the construction 700-metre tunnel by means of blasting.

This project, which will rank among the most outstanding underground works ever for a long time, marked a major advance in the art of TBM excavation. The Hallandsås dual railway tunnel, located in western Sweden and inaugurated on December 8, 2015, required more than 25 years of concerted effort to complete. It was with a view to replacing a 100-year-old single-track stretch (and a permanent bottleneck between the cities of Göteborg and Malmö) that the parliament in Stockholm decided to build 2 rail tunnels 11 kilometres in total length with a diameter of 9.04 metres linking Skottorp and Förslöv. The project was initiated in 1991 and would only be completed 25 years later as a result of multiple technical setbacks. Following successive failures by local companies, we were mandated by Trafikverket to develop this structure in partnership with the Swedish firm, Skanska.

The project was part of a construction initiative to build high-speed rail lines in Belgium, specifically between Brussels and the border with Germany: a distance of 147 kilometres, with the line going through Louvain and Liège.
On a 42-kilometre section of this line, VINCI Construction Grands Projets was mandated to build a tunnel more than 6 kilometres long between Chenée and Soumagne, close to the Chaudfontaine spa and about 10 kilometres from Liège.
The project covers more than 6.5 kilometres in total length and includes the 5.9-kilometre tunnel as well as two cut-and-cover trenches, 177 and 413 metres long, respectively. The two-way tunnel, which is sloped at 1.7%, includes a 110-m² excavated section.

This project covers the rail link to the tunnel below the English Channel, also known as High Speed 1 (HS1). This is the first high-speed rail line to be built in the United Kingdom. It is 108 kilometres long and connects the entrance to the Channel Tunnel (Chunnel) on the British side to London.

On this project, VINCI Construction Grands Projets was mandated by Union Railways Ltd to carry out 3 lots, including the construction of a single-tube tunnel 3 kilometres long, a bridge 1,255 metres long (including a 305-metre central span), a new section 13.8 kilometres long (including an incrementally launched bridge 1,025 metres long), two viaducts (675 and 454 metres, respectively), and 14 engineering structures of various kinds.
