A Consortium with VINCI as Leader, Ferrovial Agroman and Razel-Bec to Build the Tokamak Reactor Building for the ITER Project

A consortium, composed of subsidiaries of VINCI (58.3%) - VINCI Construction Grands Projets (Group Leader), Dodin Campenon Bernard (VINCI Construction), VINCI Construction France-, Ferrovial Agroman (30%) and Razel-Bec (11.7%) signed the contract with Fusion for Energy (F4E), the European Union’s organisation for Europe’s contribution to ITER, to build the Tokamak complex and to design and build nine auxiliary buildings at Cadarache, north of Aix-en-Provence in southern France. The contract is worth around €300 million and is expected to run for five and a half years.

The design studies will begin in April 2013 and the main civil engineering works in autumn 2013. The main building will house the Tokamak reactor, a 28 m-diameter cylinder, 29 m high and weighing 23,000 tonnes). With the two adjacent annexes, this will form a concrete structure 120 m long, 80m wide and 80m high.
