Buildings - CBNA

Airport

Due to their size, complexity of funding, highly technical nature and heavy regulatory constraints, airport projects are amongst the most demanding in the world. CBNA coordinates this veritable concert of specialist skills as though conducting an orchestra, from the structuring of financing all the way through to operations, taking in design and infrastructure construction on the way and guaranteeing its clients an exceptional result.

To include all airside requirements such as airport terminals, runways and freight and maintenance infrastructure, CBNA brings state-of-the-art technological solutions. Luggage sorting, control and check-in systems and passenger – flow management are designed to optimize the airport’s daily running and, ultimately, make life easier for airline companies, passengers and operators alike. All landside needs – shopping areas, hotels, office spaces – are conceived to make an airport a true business hub, for the benefit not only of travelers but also of all stakeholders and the economy of the country.

Hospitality

Our teams dedicated to hotel development offer a unique market expertise to investors throughout the world. The originality of our approach, based on combined hotel and construction skills, is to guide our clients through all stages of the project. Based on the site selected by the investor, our teams are able if necessary to carry out preliminary studies (market, feasibility, return), drawing up plans, defining a hotel program (surface area, number of rooms, restaurants) while committing themselves to a construction cost through value engineering.

Our experts can also provide assistance to the investor in financial structuring or in the choice of operator responsible for managing the hotel. Our holistic approach thus guarantees our investors that they will be dealing with a single point of contact for the delivery of a turnkey hotel. This high added-value expertise, based on a comprehensive understanding of the hotel industry, has enabled us to sign-off on some of the international benchmarks in luxury hotels.

High Rise Buildings

In a world where urbanization is constantly increasing while demography is progressing on almost all continents, one solution is obvious to all: we must build vertical! With more than 80 projects worldwide, we’re part of a group that is recognized for its expertise in the construction of high-rise towers. Up to 314m high for the Mahanakhon tower in Thailand! Structural calculations, loads spreading, seismic dampers, facade designs… so many parameters that our engineers integrate from the design stage to guarantee users maximum comfort and safety. And because a high-rise tower often has a strong architectural design, we put all our know-how to serve the aesthetic ambition of our projects: From The Sail towers (Singapore) to the Morpheus hotel (Macau) in passing through the Manhattan Loft Gardens (United Kingdom), we have taken up the complex challenge of constructing buildings that draw the skyline of their country and have won the most prestigious international architectural prizes.

Modular Construction

A pioneer of modular construction, CBNA is the only company to offer its clients a global approach, from technical feasibility studies to delivery. This unique positioning is coupled with the ability to handle all aspects of production: module manufacture, transport, logistics, installation and onsite coordination of the necessary specialist skills. This precision expertise gains time and efficiency for the company’s clients.

Dragages Singapore (part of the Bouygues Companies) first used modular construction in 2006, for the residential complex The Sail @ Marina Bay. Later, the company constructed the extension to the Crowne Plaza hotel and the Woodlands Crescent Nursing Home entirely in Prefabricated Prefinished Volumetric Construction (PPVC). The business model has also already been used with great success elsewhere, notably in the UK. To stay constantly ahead of the curve, our R&D teams are currently working on innovative materials and construction methods, aiming to reduce the weight and cost of modules.

Property Development

Property development is a critical aspect of our strategic positioning. Composed of specialists in project management, our property-development network Linkcity has the mission to transform the urban environment by offering projects that create long-term value. Our aim is to design developments that strengthen social cohesion and encourage exchange, so that firms, retailers and people are drawn to settle in the town or city and will want to stay.

Linkcity consults and collaborates not only with its clients but also with the future users, drawing in those partners most appropriate to the requirements of any project. In line with the company’s open-innovation culture, we provide our expertise for all the technical, town-planning, regulatory and financial solutions necessary for the realization of each project.

Data centers

Data centers are the symbol of the 21^st century: In an increasingly digital society, they are the essential infrastructure for processing and storing the digital data produced every day. Their construction requires cutting-edge expertise, particularly in terms of security against the risk of fire, flood, theft, intrusion, malfunction or power failure.

Our group was one of the first companies to address the reliability and availability issues inherent in these new types of building, as well as performance issues, while keeping power consumption under control. Give their size and their need for a round-the-clock power supply, data centers are very energy intensive. Thanks to experience acquired in Australia and Asia, our group has developed methods to minimize their environmental impact. Today, our expertise covers all the requirements for the creation of data centers, including hardware and software, wiring, bandwidth, operation and the multi-technique maintenance required on this type of site.
