VINCI Concessions: supporting the development of PPP projects

VINCI Concessions accounts for two-thirds of the VINCI Group’s investments. The division not only benefits from the Group’s financial strength, but also from the exchange of expertise and ongoing synergies with VINCI’s other business lines.
After more than a century of experience in the field, concessions are an excellent illustration of the integration of VINCI’s core businesses, combining project management, design-build, legal and financial engineering, and operation and maintenance.
The appropriate solution at every stage
-
With expertise in all the skills necessary for an efficient partnership, VINCI Concessions supports its clients at every stage of their projects.
- Project identification and definition of the size and functions based on the economic benefits expected for the local authority and users.
- Financial feasibility analysis: traffic modelling, flow and revenue forecasts, cost and delivery studies, definition of financing plan and appropriate contractual framework.
- Financial and legal engineering.
- Construction of the structure or consultant, mobilisation and coordination of the skills required either within VINCI or through its local and international partners.
- Project management.
- Operation, development of services for users, maintenance.
Design-build-operate
- Because VINCI Concessions has the capacity to design and build, it can optimise the definition of a project based on the objectives to be achieved. Similarly, it can oversee project implementation to ensure that a high-quality structure is delivered on time for the agreed cost.
- Because VINCI Concessions is an operator, it focuses all its efforts on customer satisfaction, from initial studies right through to the maintenance of facilities.
From the outset, this comprehensive approach takes a long-term view of projects, which is essential for public infrastructure and equipment.
A joint enterprise
- VINCI Concessions’ entrepreneurial culture combines inventiveness and pragmatism, boldness and method, a sense of initiative and spirit of service. All of these are reflected in its relations with public and private partners.
- Its approach is based on respect and transparency, on determination to provide positive solutions to the complexities of a project, on thinking ahead and motivating teams.
This mindset transforms problems into solutions and spontaneously takes into account the changing needs of concession grantors.
A bonding culture
- Taking full responsibility for the significant human and environmental factors involved in its business, VINCI Concessions has developed a bonding culture that is reflected in all its relations with its publics.
- Discussions with nearby residents during study phases, constant dialogue with institutions and non-profit organisations and keeping everyone informed are all key elements for ensuring the project’s acceptance.
