VINCI - 2005 annual report

THE FIRST ISO 14001 CERTIFIED CIVIL ENGINEERING SITE
The motorway interchange at Marseilles, which is being built by a consortium led by Campenon Bernard Méditerranée
(VINCI Construction), was the fi rst civil engineering site in France to gain ISO 14001 environmental certifi cation. The environmental
management system put in place for the project included selective sorting and recycling of waste, the recovery of water from concrete mixers and washing
truck wheels. A steering committee made up of local authorities and environmental bodies (ADEME, Provence-Alpes-Cote d’Azur region, City of Marseilles, AFINE,
ARPE, and the local district committee) monitor and assess the innovative project.
Bottom. During the construction of a road interchange, SPL and Cochery (Eurovia subsidiaries) suggested using bottom ash from the incineration of household waste to make 183,000
tonnes of backfi ll, thereby saving natural resources. In addition, because the bottom ash treatment plant was only 3 km from the construction site (the average distance for obtaining natural
backfi ll material in Ile de France is 15 km), it helped to reduce transport pollution. The overall constraints (pollution, fuel) were reduced 80%. This achievement received a distinction
award from the jury of the sustainable development competition organised by UNPG (the French national union of aggregate producers).
