Recent Development

October 2022: China Communications Construction Company Limited (CCCC), together with PipeChina (officially known as China Oil & Gas Pipeline Network Corporation), held a signing ceremony for a strategic framework agreement on cooperation between two parties in Beijing.

January 2022: VINCI was awarded the contract for the Takitimu North Link Road project located in southeast Auckland, New Zealand.

Takitimu North Link will be designed and built by HEB Construction - a subsidiary of VINCI Construction in New Zealand - through a joint venture with Fulton Hogan, which is responsible for design & construction works. This scheme will improve accessibility, supporting urban development within the region while also relieving neighboring towns from heavy freight traffic thus enhancing safety.

March 2023: In March 2023, HOCHTIEF and infrastructure financier Palladio Partners came together to construct and run a sustainable data center in Heiligenhaus, North Rhine-Westphalia. The parties agreed on the new cutting-edge YEXIO facility at the university town's Innovation Park.

For example, in February 2023, the National Health Service (NHS) launched a £450 million transport infrastructure framework that sets out ambitious plans for sustainable transport and national infrastructure, offering a comprehensive approach to this matter.
