Warbud News

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. The above described scope of work was a separate contract signed in 2010 by a consortium of the following four companies: Przedsiębiorstwo Robót Górniczych ‘Metro’ Sp. z o.o. (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.

On Friday, September 4, 2020, a school opening ceremony took place in the new building of Adam Mickiewicz High School in Piastów. The event began with a symbolic ribbon cutting with the participation of the school's management, Piastów town authorities and the general contractor. After the official part, the guests had an opportunity to visit the new school building located at ul. 11 Listopada 2A. The investment was executed as private funding initiative where the public partner is the Town of Piastów and the private partner - the company Warbud.

The project covered the rebuilding and expansion of the high school building which this year celebrates its 75th anniversary.  Within 16 months, a modern three-story building with a total area of 4.5 thousand square meters was built. It also incorporates a spacious city library, a sports hall, a sports field and a canteen complex. The contract was signed on April 30, 2019 and the facility was put into operation in August 2020.

Warbud has received a golden statuette for the construction of the University Hospital in Krakow-Prokocim. The award ceremony was held on September 3, 2020 in Warsaw. It was the 30th jubilee edition of the contest organised by Polish Association of Construction Engineers and Technicians PZIiTB. The jury selected Poland’s best construction projects of the year 2019. The award was collected by: Ms. Lucyna Duszyk, UH infrastructure director - representing the Investor and Mr. Tomasz Blecharski, Director responsible for supervision over the construction of the hospital, and Mr. Łukasz Gombarczyk from Porr. Rafał Pyrzanowski and Rafał Ossowski from Warbud were also present at the gala.

Warbud has won a contract for the construction of a Centre for Innovation and Research in Pro-Health and Safe Food in Kraków. The project will be executed in the design and build formula. The investor is Hugo Kołłątaj Agricultural University in Krakow. The new centre will allow the university to increase its scientific activity and enable more intensive work on solutions which entrepreneurs are interested in using. The contract was concluded on August 31, 2020.  On behalf of Warbud, it was signed by: Mr. Grzegorz Koprowski, Director of Region South and on the part of the Contracting Authority by University Rector Prof. Włodzimierz Sady, PhD, Eng., and Bursar, Mr. Maciej Oleksiak, MA.

The second stage of construction of the Clinical and Teaching Centre of Medical University of Łódź together with Academic Oncology Centre (CKD2) will be executed by a joint venture of BUDOMAL and WARBUD. The contract was officially signed on August 27, 2020 in Łódź.

The contract was signed on Warbud’s part by Mr. Jerzy Werle, President of the Management Board,  Mr. Lech Wąsowski, Director of Public Procurement Division and Mr. Rafał Leśniak, President of Budomal.

VINCI Group came 5th in the report Global Powers of Construction 2019 (GPoC)drawn up by the consulting company Deloitte. The ranking analyses the achievements of the world's most profitable construction companies. The report ranks the world's top 100 construction companies by sales and the top 30 companies by market capitalization. As in previous years, GPOC 2019 analyses the current macroeconomic outlook for the construction sector and forecasts its growth in major markets. It also analyses key financial indicators achieved by leading players in terms of revenues, market capitalization, international presence, diversification, profitability, debt and other financial indicators.

Almost four months ago, the world stopped running. The pandemic for which no-one was prepared put to the test global economies, public and private companies and social institutions. The crisis which affected not only businesses but also ourselves is a severe test for everyone.

A test which is passed by one of the few industries in Poland - the construction industry.  So far, it has proved that people and companies in this sector have great courage and determination and a sense of responsibility. The Polish construction industry continued its activity despite initial fears, which is why it is in a much better situation than in other countries where work had been suspended. General contractors reorganized their construction sites, introduced a number of restrictions so as not to interrupt construction work. However, it would not be possible without our subcontractors and suppliers.  Thanks to their commitment, sense of solidarity and enormous effort work was continued on construction sites, the flow of supplies was not interrupted and good relations with our Clients were maintained.

I WOULD LIKE TO EXPRESS MY SINCERE THANKS TO ALL OUR SUBCONTRACTORS AND SUPPLIERS ON BEHALF OF WARBUD SA’S MANAGEMENT BOARD.
