Environmental and energy constraints, investor expectations, and new uses are driving a transformation of aging city buildings and vacant sites into new modular, comfortable, economical spaces. Having long been neglected in favour of new-build construction, renovation is emerging as a powerful driver of the tertiary property sector in Europe. The list of projects to modify buildings from their original purpose grows longer every week, including in Belgium, the Netherlands and Sweden, where VINCI Energies business units are increasingly active in this sector.
A rapidly developing low-carbon local energy source, geothermal is expanding into towns and cities, where it is helping reduce the environmental footprints of buildings. VINCI Energies business units have been developing valuable experience and expertise in this field over many years and now increasingly find themselves working on projects to harness geothermal energy.
The air transport sector is moving in the right direction: with more than five billion passengers and over 1,000 billion dollars in sales, airlines are set for spectacular growth in 2025. From optimised baggage handling systems to sustainability in fire protection systems, and innovations such as digital control towers, site electrification and energy self-consumption, the various VINCI Energies brands and business units involved are working constantly to improve performance in airports across the world.
Fierce competition, the pursuit of productivity, relocation policies, a shortage of manpower: these are just some of the pressures on an industry searching for solutions to kick-start a new growth cycle and make plans for long-term recovery. One of these potential solutions is robotic automation. Having long been a pipe dream, it is now a rapidly expanding reality.
