CFE - 2006 annual report - Vinci

In the area of civil engineering, the bridge over the Orneau
riverbed for Infrabel was completed and delivered to the
customer’s satisfaction under a tight schedule and despite
a complex environment. A retaining wall at Houffalize and
other walls in the Dria district in Farciennes were also
completed, while the installation of collectors is conti-
nuing in Coo.
After completion of design work and meticulous prepara-
tion, construction work on the new Sclessin water treat-
ment plant started quickly and is continuing at a steady
pace.
Bernard Couttenier, 44 years
Site Superintendent
Knowing that the “RER” Ottignies-Sud project, which
consists of several building sites stretching over 2 km, is
a national (and even an international) first, my personal
challenge is to complete this ambitious project without
accident, while maintaining quality, meeting the custom-
er’s requirements, and promoting collaboration at all levels
so as to have a good working environment.
My motivation on this project is to do everything possible
to meet this difficult challenge! My daily motivation, for as
long as I have been in civil engineering, is to work as part
of a team with our rod workers, our form setters, our engi-
neers and, of course, our administrative staff.
Bageci has also been awarded the first section of RER
construction work near Brussels. Work started on this
section, located between Ottignies and Louvain-la-Neuve,
in September, 2006.
So, after several difficult years, including 2006, Bageci is
repositioning itself on its home territory. Current work
underway, together with numerous deals in final negotia-
tions, will ensure increased activity in 2007. The RER works
around Brussels and the remediation and renovation works
in schools and other public buildings will provide Bageci
with new opportunities for growth and allow it to look for-
ward to the future with confidence.
