The construction of South Ring of Warsaw was divided into three sections. The longest section - built by Warbud SA and marked with the letter "C", stretches for 7.5 km between "Puławska" junction to "Lubelska" junction (from km 11+478.52 to km 18+949.95). The project was executed as a "design and build" project. On December 22, 2020 at 12:15 p.m. - five years after signing the contract with GDDKiA - the road was officially opened. This event was reported by major TV stations. The opening ceremony was led by Mr. Mateusz Morawiecki, Prime Minister of the Republic of Poland. Warbud SA was represented in the ceremony by Mr. Piotr Mika, Member of the Management Board and Mr. Artur Raczak, Contract Director.

In the fourth and the last in this year edition of the action named #Razemdlaszpitali (together for hospitals) we provide free meals to the medical personnel in the first line of battle against COVID-19.

The coronavirus epidemic has impacted all aspects of our lives. It has had the greatest impact on the medical personnel. Our lives and health depend on their commitment, determination and sacrifice. In this difficult time all friendly gestures are of great importance. That is why we wanted again to demonstrate our solidarity with health service personnel.  Warm and nutritious regeneration meals were distributed at the turn of November and December among doctors, nurses and paramedics working at the Infectious Diseases Hospital in Wolska Street in Warsaw. In this way Polish VINCI Group companies thank medical personnel and express their special gratitude for their commitment and heroism. 

On November 30, 2020 Mr. Wojciech Gerber resigned from the functions of Member of Warbud SA’s Management Board and Director of Region Centre, and decided to terminate his employment contract with Warbud.
The position of Region Centre Director is now held by Mr. Lech Wąsowski, formerly Director of Warbud SA’s Public Procurement Division.
Cooperation with clients, mutual business and partner relations and the execution of development projects supervised by Region Centre remain unchanged.
At present Warbud SA’s Management Board consists of 7 persons.

Warbud has won a tender for the extension of a hospital complex in Wołomin. The contract was concluded on November 10, 2020. On behalf of Warbud, it was signed by Mr. Jerzy Werle, President of the Management Board and Mr. Lech Wąsowski, Director of Public Procurement Division. The Client was represented by Mr. Grzegorz Krynicki, Hospital Director. As part of the development project, Warbud will build two main buildings A and B, an underground tunnel connecting both facilities and a free-standing transformer station.

The number of accidents and victims on Polish construction sites has decreased. The report by the Agreement in Construction Safety demonstrated that the number of people injured in accidents on construction sites in Poland has decreased almost by half over the 10 years of the organization's operation, from 8,684 to 4,743. There are four times fewer fatalities per 100,000 people employed in the construction industry today than a decade ago. This is largely due to the activities of the association of the largest construction companies in Poland which works to improve work safety.

The 7th edition of the "Safety Week", which took place in the first half of October 2020, has ended. Due to the pandemic, many activities took place online.  The event was officially started by Mr. Jerzy Werle, President of the Management Board, on Norblin Factory construction site in Warsaw.
Mr. Jerzy Werle pointed out how extremely important it is to care for general safety in accordance with the motto of the Safety Week: I am aware of significant risks. I share my observations. Together, we save people's lives at every stage of the construction process. The team stick together. He emphasized that a construction is a system of connected vessels and the way we work has an impact on our own and other employees' safety.

Orange Polska is building a modern data centre - Warsaw Data Hub. The facility is to be ready for use in autumn 2021. This is the result of a contract signed in August this year with the general contractor - Warbud SA.

Forecasts in the ninth edition of the PMR report published in May 2020 "Data centre market in Poland 2020. Market analysis and development forecasts for 2020-2025” say that the resources of the Polish data centre market will be doubled by 2025.

The second wave of the SARS-CoV-2 epidemic has become a fact and this is why our #Razemdlaszpitali (together for hospitals) campaign continues and does not cease to help those most in need. Thanks to VINCI Foundation, VINCI Groups companies operating in Poland received necessary funds for the purchase of six high-class ventilators which will help Polish doctors in the fight for the health and lives of their patients. The delivered devices are covered by a 24-month warranty. Equipment commissioning and training of medical personnel has also been provided.

It was a successful debut! We have just completed the 1st edition of the "Environment Week" and VINCI Environment Day - the largest event in Warbud aimed at environmental protection. The idea of this year's campaign is reflected by the motto: "High five for Nature. Spend 5 days for the planet."

At construction sites, as well as in the company’s Warsaw headquarters and regional offices, despite the difficulties related to maintaining the sanitary regime, we managed to carry out a number of activities to raise our employees’ eco-awareness.

Referring to numerous press reports on the failure of ‘Czajka’ Sewage Treatment Plant in Warsaw, we hereby inform you that Warbud was not responsible for the construction of the sewage transmission system under the Vistula River (construction of sewage collectors) in which the failure occurred.

(consortium leader), Hydrobudowa Polska SA, Hydrobudowa 9 SA and Infra SA. Warbud was not responsible for any part of the construction work on the transmission system supplying sewage to the treatment plant.
