SERVICES
Over the last couple of years the
public authorities have been calling
on the private sector to finance,
develop, build and operate a number
of facilities, particularly car parks.
More recently private companies – hotels,
clinics, property developers – have also
begun to call on outside providers for
financing, design, construction, operation
and maintenance of their installations.
Against this backdrop Sogea’s experience
as a management company and the
complementarity between that specialty
and the building industry are advantages
which the company has been able
to capitalize on very successfully.
Profile
Sogea’s service activity is today primarily focused on
parking and multi-service maintenance as well as the
management of water treatment plants.
Sogea is the third largest car park operator in France
and has been active in the sector since 1970. Today it
manages more than 40,000 parking spaces in more
than 60 locations in nearly 25 cities.
Its track record in consulting and engineering and
also in design, construction, renovation, maintenance
and operation of car parks makes it possible to
provide both its public and private sector customers
with customized solutions and comprehensive
services.
With the new label, called Vitamine, which it created
in 1999, Sogea will from now on be guaranteeing
to the users of its car parks total customer service
quality and convenience. The granting of the right to
use the label requires that the car park applying for
it must increase their service in the areas of security,
information, traffic – automobile and pedestrian –
signing and related services.
When it comes to multi-service maintenance, the
experience of Sicra Maintenance in the Île-de-France
for nearly 10 years now has enabled Sogea to begin
to develop this activity in other regions. Sogea Ouest
for example has set up MTI (Maintenance and
Industrial works).
