10 11 01 CONTRACTING

The contracting activity is BESIX’s core business since 1909 and remains to this day its main activity, both in terms of revenues and number of ongoing works. BESIX contracting specialises in buildings, marine works, infrastructures, water & environment as well as sports and leisure facilities.

In most countries, BESIX operates under its own brand name. The BESIX name goes in front of the country in which its branches are established: for example, BESIX Cameroon or BESIX Canada are branches integrated into the Business Unit (BU) International, just as BESIX Nederland and BESIX France belong to the BU Europe.

In some regions however, BESIX operates through wholly-owned subsidiaries with a distinct brand name:

• In the Middle East, BESIX’s contracting activities are historically carried out by Six Construct. The company was founded in 1966 in order to develop the group’s activities in that part of the world, which Six Contruct has since continuously done.

• In Australia, BESIX acquired all shares of Watpac in 2018, a construction company with a strong identity and impressive achievements throughout the country.

• In the Benelux area, BESIX has acquired multiple companies over the last decades. These companies are the result of vertical integration and sectoral diversification. It includes FERRARI WORLD regional contractors (Jacques Delens, Lux TP, Vanhout, Wust) , UNITED ARAB EMIRATES and specialised contractors (BESIX Infra, Franki Foundations, Socogetra, Van den Berg). Client Aldar Properties PJSC Contract Design & Build (Six Construct) Period 2011 - 2013 Surface area 190,000 m² Contractors Six Construct (BESIX) Contract value USD 476 million

For Aldar Properties PJSC, BESIX has participated in the construction of the 2,500-hectare artificial island Yas Island, hosting the Formula One motor race Abu Dhabi Grand Prix. The island also comprises the Ferrari World , a 150,000m² theme park comprising roller coasters and breath-taking rides.

12 01 CONTRACTING 01 CONTRACTING 13 01.1 BUILDINGS

From world-famous skyscrapers to low-impact housing, BESIX designs and builds fully integrated buildings. The group is especially known for its sound experience in realizing largescale projects with a high degree of sophistication: unique architecture, technical complexity, logistical requirements, high environmental standards, top performance and tight construction deadlines.
