40 SERVICES 1999 was the year in which the maintenance contract for the common facilities of the Generali Immobilier building in the Avenue Hoche in Paris began, on July 1. The company also signed a similar contract with the Regus company. In the United Kingdom Norwest Holst is also expanding into maintenance as part of the PFI contract which it was awarded in Cardiff. To underpin its commitment to this activity it set up a specialized subsidiary in 1999, SGE Holst Facilities Management. With regard to water treatment plant management, Sogea is today operating the Barberey plant in the Troyes area where Sogea is also responsible for the waste water and water distribution systems. The company is also managing the plants in Charleville, Maxéville, Persan-Beaumont, Douai, Clermont-Ferrand and Hasbruck as well as the salt water desalination plant in Mayotte, an island for which Sogea also handles water distribution. NEW CONTRACT Private-sector clinic car parks For the last two years Sogea has substantially expanded its private car park operation business. Following the contract with the Hotel Méridien-Etoile in Paris in 1997, Sogea was asked to build and operate three car parks for private clinics. The company handed over, in the summer of 1999, the 170-space car park of Marseille’s Bouchard clinic, which it will operate for 20 years. Sogea also inaugurated, at the end of the year, the car park at the Lenval clinic in Nice. Finally, Sogea won the contract to extend (from 250 to 450 spaces) and operate the car park at the Beauregard clinic in Marseille. 2. Sicra Maintenance Multiservices provides multitechnique maintenance for the headquarters of SGE at Rueil 2000. 2 3 3. In the Avenue Montaigne, LVMH-Dior has awarded the maintenance contract for its facilities to Sicra Maintenance Multiservices.

Outlook In car parks, the acquisition in July 1999 of the leading French company and European Number 2 Sogeparc by the SGE Group should make it possible to leverage promising synergies as already demonstrated by a joint bid put in by Sogea and Sogeparc for the construction, renovation and operation of 5 car parks in Bordeaux. Sogea’s multidisciplinary teams, their comprehensive engineering, design, construction and operation capabilities, and their local roots are advantages on which the company can build, particularly in the private sector (hotels, clinics, developers) in a market whose potential Sogea’s recent successes clearly demonstrate. Interesting prospects for the company should also be developing soon, especially in the capital, when a number of large concessions run out. 1 The development of maintenance activity will be coming essentially from private-sector service companies. In France, the main Sogea subsidiary specialized in this line of business is Sicra Maintenance Multiservices which in 1996 was the first French company in this sector to receive ISO 9002 certification. Its expertise should gradually extend to new regions such as the West and the South East where the service sector has expanded considerably over the last couple of years. In water treatment, Sogea transferred most of its contracts to Générale des Eaux over the last few years. However, its comprehensive capabilities (design, construction, operation) and its roots in local markets have enabled it to keep and develop its water treatment and purification activity. 1. Sicra Maintenance Multiservices obtained the maintenance contract for the Tribunal de grande instance at Bobigny. 4. Sogea operates several water treatment and purification units in mainland France and in the overseas territories. 4 41
