Awards

The project "Structural designing supported by openBIM" submitted by Warbud was among the finalists of the international competition. It is a great honour for our company. Our main goal was to standardize and systematize the design process using open standards promoted by BuildingSMART International.

The VINCI Group has been organising the VINCI Innovation competition once in every two years since 2001. The purpose of the competition is to find and award innovative solutions which are helpful and supportive in daily work on constructions sites and offices. The competition promotes solutions which protect the environment, make work easier, shorten construction time or bring savings.

In this year in Region Europe the winning project was proposed by Warbud under the name "Reduction of the earth pressure on the retaining wall by blocks of EPS" in the category Equipment and Tools.

Warbud has proposed a number of innovative ideas and solutions which were awarded in the competition but it is the first time our company has won the main award.

The awards gala took place on 8 September 2017 at Hilton Hotel in Frankfurt. The European companies owned by VINCI sent 196 applications to the competition out of which 12 solutions were awarded in the following categories: Dissemination, Health and Safety, Sustainable Development, Partners, Digital Transformation, Processes and Techniques, Marketing, Equipment and Tools, Management.

The Jury emphasized in the substantiation of their verdict that the project was the first use of Styrofoam blocks in Poland to stabilise a tunnel wall. In addition to that the technology connecting light Styrofoam embankment with the reinforced earth is less time-consuming than traditional backfilling methods. The innovation may be adopted and used in any project in a situation when it is necessary to quickly and significantly reduce earth pressure of a traditionally built embankment on retaining structures.

At the jubilee, XV International Road Construction Fair, Warbud SA won gold medal for the arrangement of its exhibition stand. The exhibition arranged under the VINCI name and presenting Warbud’s experience, attracted the competition jury and visitor’s attention by its original form, spatial arrangement, colour scheme as well as large-domension photographs of their completed projects.

In the course of the 14th International Road Construciton Fair 'Autostrada Polska’ in Kielce Warbud SA and its sister company Eurovia Polska won gold medal for the arrangement of their joint exhibition stand. The exhibition arranged under the VINCI name and presenting Warbud and Eurovia’s experience, attracted the competition jury’s attention by its innovative character, attractive form and interesting offer for visitors.

The Tytan trophy in the underground construction category was awarded by the judges for the innovative roof-reinforcement technologies used by Warbud over the tunnel in the Marymont metro station. The prizes were awarded during the fourth “Inzynieria” international conference and technology exhibition held in Krakow in 2006.
