In a first for housebuilding, one hundred individual homes in the new Wolf Ranch residential development, 40 km north of Austin, Texas, have been built using 3D printing. This technology builds up walls by laying special concrete, layer by layer, using a computer-controlled printing head. Other solutions of this type are under development in the United […]
The efficient storage of low-carbon energy will play an essential part in ending our long dependence on fossil fuels and preparing a cleaner future. As part of the worldwide energy transition, a number of battery technologies have been developed to store surplus renewable energy and encourage decarbonisation efforts in sectors ranging from data centres to […]
Low-carbon concrete offers significant potential for decarbonisation in the construction sector. While its unique features may not yet be fully appreciated, especially by project owners, it is being used ever-more widely. Bruno Paul-Dauphin, Director of Exegy® Low-carbon Concrete Solutions at VINCI Construction, explains its features. What is the potential for decarbonisation in the construction sector […]
Re-industrialisation and industrial sovereignty are key elements in recovery plans in most developed economies. The development of robotisation is a powerful factor in this global movement. In an increasingly competitive economic context, productivity and agility remain key to industrial expansion worldwide. And robotisation has long been seen as a major factor in the sector’s transformation. […]
In the booming industrial robotics market, the VINCI Energies industry brand has, through its extensive network of business units, developed the expertise to position itself as a major player in the sector by integrating every type of expertise. From enhanced flexibility, lower costs, increased productivity and improved quality to reduced workplace risk and the elimination […]
The use of mobile robotics in industrial settings is developing rapidly. Private 4G/5G networks are a fast-maturing solution to ensure a reliable, robust connection on complex sites. We look at some examples with Axians, from the Port of Rotterdam to the Mercedes-Benz head office in France. Private industrial 5G provides a reliable, low-latency connection for […]
Increasing numbers of electric vehicles in France are creating significant new demand for charging facilities. In the race to roll out charging stations, tertiary buildings have an opportunity to become vital links in the development of electric mobility. According to various predictions, by 2035, there will be almost 17 million electric vehicles on France’s roads, […]
How can industrial energy consumption be controlled and reduced? In the cold and heat production sector, CEF Nord, in collaboration with numerous other VINCI Energies business units, has designed a configurable, cost-optimised solution. To support its customers in their energy transitions and reduce the energy consumption of their equipment (heat and cold production, air handling, […]
Because they are particularly vulnerable to the effects of climate change, buildings and infrastructure make an excellent testing ground for innovation in adaptation strategies. The VINCI Group is equipped with specialist tools to support cities and buildings on their journey toward climate resilience. Plus 4 °C by 2100 – this is what countries are preparing for, […]
