  • Resumption of Work on Two Large Greek Motorway Concession Projects in Which VINCI Is a Shareholder
    Rueil-Malmaison, 20 January 2014 Press release Resumption of work on two large Greek motorway concession projects in which VINCI is a shareholder • A total investment of €3.1 billion • More than 10,000 jobs generated • Set to open to traffic by the end of 2015 Following three years of intensive work with the Greek government and its financial partners, VINCI announces the resumption of construction work on the 365 km motorway between Athens and Tsakona and the 240 km motorway section between Maliakos Bay and Kleidi. The two concession projects underwent in-depth restructuring that made it possible to complete their refinancing in December 2013 and to resume construction work at the beginning of 2014. The two projects account for a total investment of €3.1 billion (Athens-Tsakona: €1.8 billion, Maliakos-Kleidi: €1.3 billion). VINCI Concessions is a 30% shareholder in the Olympia Odos company, which holds the concession for the Athens- Tsakona motorway, and a 15% shareholder in the Aegean Motorway company, which holds the concession for the Maliakos-Kleidi motorway. The resumption of these projects, which are crucial to Greek infrastructure competitiveness, illustrates the long- term strength of the public-private partnership model, notwithstanding cyclical fluctuations. In addition, the projects boost local economic development. The resumption of work with a view to opening the motorways to traffic by the end of 2015 will account for about 10,000 direct and indirect jobs during peak construction. Motorway operation will consolidate about 1,000 jobs. Press contact: Maxence Naouri Tel.: +33 (0)1 47 16 31 82 [email protected] Olympia Odos, the concession company bringing together VINCI Concessions (30%), Hochtief and three Greek partners, signed the 30-year Athens-Corinth-Patras-Tsakona motorway concession contract with the Greek government in 2007.

  • Active Tectonics of the Corinth Gulf, Greece, the Fastest Growing Rift on Planet Earth
    Active tectonics of the Corinth Gulf, Greece, the fastest growing rift on planet Earth (Dr. Athanassios Ganas) Abstract: Since the beginning of the instrumental seismology in Greece, the most intense seismic activity has been recorded within the Corinth rift and its vicinity such as the central Ionian Sea. This rift is the most active continental seismic region of the Mediterranean and one of the fastest opening continental rifts in the world. Its seismic history since the nineteenth century has exhibited more than 10 shallow events with M>6.0. A dense GPS velocity field is used to model the present-day deformation by means of a continuous strain and rotation rate field. The geodetic results quantify and refine previous findings as well as yield new insights for the present-day deformation pattern in the Gulf of Corinth rift. The consistency of the contemporary deformation field with earthquake activity is also evaluated by the calculation of geodetic moment rates and comparison with moment rates determined from earthquake catalogs. In this café, Dr. Athanassios Ganas presented briefly why Corinth Gulf is known as the fastest growing rift on planet earth by the support of his recent research results. Host: Good evening ladies and gentlemen. This is English GeoScience Café session 18. It’s a great pleasure for me to introduce our speaker tonight, who is going to talk to us about “Active tectonics of the Corinth Gulf, Greece, the fastest growing rift on planet Earth”. We are honored and delighted to have Dr. Athanassios Ganas with us today. Dr. Athanassios Ganas completed his PhD in Geological Remote Sensing from the University of Reading, UK.

  • Infrastructure in Greece Funding the Future
    Infrastructure in Greece Funding the future March 2017 PwC Content overview 1 Executive 2 Infrastructure summary investment The investment gap in Greek 3 Greek 4 Funding of infrastructure infrastructure Greek projects infrastructure is around pipeline projects Conclusion 5 1.4pp of GDP Infrastructure March 2017 PwC 2 Executive Summary Funding the future • According to OECD, global infrastructure needs* are expected to increase along the years to around $ 41 trln by 2030 • In Greece, the infrastructure investments were affected by the deep economic recession. The infrastructure investment gap is between 0.8 pp of GDP (against the European average) or 1.4 pp of GDP (against historical performance) translating into 1.1% or € 2bln new spending per year • Infrastructure investments have an economic multiplier of 1.8x** which can boost demand of other sectors. The construction sector will be enhanced creating new employment opportunities on a regular basis, attracting foreign investors and improving economic growth • Greece is ranked 26th among the E.U. countries in terms of infrastructure quality, along with systematic low infrastructure quality countries, mostly in Southern Europe • Greek infrastructure backlog has grown enormously during the crisis. The value of 69 projects, which are in progress or upcoming is amounting to €21.4bln – 42% accounting for energy projects, while 46% coming from rail and motorway projects • Announced tourist infrastructure and waste management projects (latter are financed through PPPs), estimated at 13% of total pipeline budget, are key to development and improvement of quality of life • Between 2014-2017(February) 16 of the infrastructure projects have been completed • Traditional funding sources, such as loan facilities and Public Investments Program are becoming less sustainable over the years, shifting the financing focus to the private sector.

Eleusis differs radically from the stereotypical image of Greece as a country with beautiful beaches, where people are carefree and relaxed, and spend their lives enjoying the sun and sea. Eleusis is a reflection of an entirely overlooked - but at the same time very real - aspect of Greece: productive Greece. Some 30% of the country’s GDP is produced in Eleusis and the wider Thriasian Plain area, a percentage that is roughly equal to the national contribution of tourism to GDP. Eleusis is Greece’s productive engine, and the ECoC encounters it at one of the most critical times of its history, the time of crisis. In ancient Greek, crisis means decision, and Eleusis’s desire to candidate for the title of ECoC at this momentum is related to the entire city’s irrevocable decision to turn page in its history and make its definitive transition to a new growth model. In the case of Eleusis, the title of ECoC will act as a catalyst for a series of developments at national, local and European level, which are critical for the city’s future. At the national level, the ECoC title will act as a catalyst..

This rift was formed by normal slip on big faults which extend the crust of the Earth in the N-S direction. The morphotectonic indices (hypsometric curve, hypsometric integral, drainage basin asymmetry, ratio of valley floor width to valley height) have been estimated using the 20-m digital elevation model of this area and the ARC software. The normal faults of the study area have been extracted by use of a DEM mosaic of 20- m pixel size, satellite images from Landsat 7 ETM+ and SRTM 90m. Our results highlight the recent activity of the Psathopyrgos normal fault on the basis of a series of morphotectonic evidence and suggest the existence of a single fault segment for a distance of 16 km. Key words: Morphotectonics, Corinth rift, Psathopyrgos, active faults. Περίληψη Η περιοχή μελέτης είναι στο δυτικό άκρο του Κορινθιακού ανοίγματος.
