14 BUILDING In the French regions, Sogea’s building activity expanded and the company refocused on higher-added-value activities. In the north of France, in 1999, there was growth in industrial activity at Sogea and its subsidiary Caroni, in addition to their traditional activities in public buildings, particularly schools. Examples are a major project built for Astra in Dunkirk (architect: Jacobs Serete); the Guiscard middle school (architect: Bellière Manière) and the Avesnes-sur-Helpe lycée (architects: H. Gaillard- L.Corbeau); the Fiegnies middle school (architect: J. Corbeau) and the Caudry lycée (architects: Kroll-Nicol-Thelot). Sogea’s Northwest and West regions also experienced growth in activity. Sogea Nord-Ouest built three industrial buildings for Glaxo, Sidel and Enerflux Industrie, while Sogea Atlantique began construction of a cogeneration power station in Montoire-de-Bretagne. In the West, Sogea’s activity is also continuing apace in the housing, service and structural renovation sectors, a major example being the renovation of the Kastler-Guitton lycée in La Roche-sur-Yon. In the large South-West area Sogea has reorganized by setting up two regional departments. The first, Sogea Sud-Ouest, is located in Toulouse and manages the Midi-Pyrénées, Aquitaine and Limousin regions; its building activity experienced a major boost in Toulouse with the construction of the courthouse led by its subsidiary Croizet-Pourty (architects: P. Prunet-J. Munuez). The second regional department, Sogea Sud, is based in Montpellier and concentrates on the Languedoc- Roussillon and Aveyron regions. It has also recorded some successes, particularly in the housing and 1 2 3

Sogea Nord-Ouest completed the new plant of the Glaxo-Wellcome pharmaceutical company in Evreux; its sophisticated framework includes a large counterbalanced top which overhangs the building. 2. The Vatry airport construction project, built by Sogea Est, was visited by the President of the Republic last September. Sogea is also building the Basel- Mulhouse airport. 3. Sogea Sud-Ouest built the teaching facilities for the Murail University history sciences training and research centre in Toulouse. 4. Sogea Sud-Ouest completed construction of a telecommunications building for SFR (Cegetel) in Toulouse. 5.

Zirah), for the Arcade group; a cogeneration building for the Montpellier teaching hospital and Dalkia (renovation architect: J.-L. Michel). In the East, Sogea and its subsidiaries (Hallé, Chanzy-Pardoux, Urban and Sotram) did a brisk business related to the start of work on the Basel-Mulhouse and Vatry airports. Chanzy-Pardoux completed restoration of Meinsberg Castle (renovation architect: M. Goutal) and continued structural renovation of the European school in Luxembourg (architects: Cabinet Bauer) and restoration of Strasbourg Cathedral. In the Indian Ocean, Sogea continued its public housing and school building activity. In 1999 it won the contracts for construction of 125 housing units in Saint-Louis (architects: Marraud-Lehaye-Delpech), office space for the television station in Saint-Denis (DPV Architecture) and the structural work and sports facilities for the Saint-Benoît lycée (architect: Ph. Goetz). Meanwhile SBTPC, which celebrated its 35th anniversary during the year, maintained its level of activity in housing and expanded in the industrial and service sectors. Sogea is also developing in Madagascar and Mayotte, examples being ongoing construction of the Pamadzi middle school (architect: D. Héricourt) and the INDUSTRIAL MARKETS Delivery times, service and dialogue In 1999, Sogea’s recognized expertise in the design and construction of industrial buildings was illustrated by the construction, by Caroni, of the Astra Zeneca plant in Dunkirk (architect: Jacobs Serete). In the field of industrial contracts, Sogea attempts at all times to meet three requirements. The first is stringent adherence to delivery times which are always very tight. The second requirement relates to the level of service expected by the customer. The third and final requirement is the need to maintain a constant dialogue with the client so as to adapt the project to the customer’s schedule and budget constraints. 15
