VINCI Wins Design-Build Contract for New Waste-to-Energy Plant in France

Veolia has awarded VINCI Construction, through its subsidiaries VINCI Construction Grands Projets (lead contractor), GTM Sud-Ouest TP GC and Chantiers Modernes Nouvelle-Aquitaine, the design and build of a new household-waste-to-energy plant located in Corrèze, France.

Situated near Brive-la-Gaillarde, the household waste-to-energy plant will replace the existing plant. It will have a treatment capacity of almost 10 tons per hour (79,000 tons a year), equivalent to the annual waste produced by 200,000 residents.

This project, worth over €100 million and employing nearly 200 people at the peak of its activity, will upgrade the plant’s environmental efficiency by adding latest-generation processing systems, notably to treat flue gases. The electricity and heat produced will be used by local industrial and community facilities.
