PRESS RELEASE

INNOVATION AND SUSTAINABILITY: WEBUILD GROUP WITH ITS SUBSIDIARY CSC AWARDED CONTRACT WORTH €120 MILLION FOR SAFEHOSTDATA CENTRE, IN SWITZERLAND

MILAN, June 23, 2021 - The Webuild Group, through its subsidiary CSC Costruzioni SA, was awarded the contract worth €120 million (131.5 million Swiss francs), to construct an additional 18MW of capacity for Safe Host's Data Centre in Gland (Canton of Vaud), Switzerland.

Works on the new project confirm the Group's commitment to low risk profile markets. CSC, in joint venture with the Titanium Swiss Group, will carry out the works starting in July 2021, estimated to be completed within 18 months.

Safe Host has over 76 MVA of installed capacity across four Swiss sitesto meet the demand from global cloud providers companies to host their systems in Switzerland.

The contract strengthens the presence of CSC in Switzerland. CSC was recently awarded a contract in the sustainable mobility sector worth approximately €80 million, to build the northern tunnel of the St. Gotthard motorway tunnel: a 4km-long-access tunnel for the second St. Gotthard tunnel. In the green buildings segment, in the French-speaking part of Switzerland, CSC is currently carrying out works to renovate the historic buildings of the United Nations Palais des Nations, in Geneva, and the new Parc du Simplon, in Lausanne, for CFF Immobilier.

The Webuild Group, over the years, has built civil, institutional, commercial, cultural, sport and religious buildings, and has completed over 100 hospitals and 80 airports. It is also experienced in using Eco-design & Construction schemes, which make it possible to reduce the environmental footprint of such works, over their entire life span, by more than 30%. In this heavily urbanized scenario, with evermore populated cities, and the consequent impact on urban pollution levels, designing eco-sustainable infrastructure is essential to improve life in cities

The Stavros Niarchos Foundation Cultural Centre (SNFCC), in Athens, Greece, is an example of this: designed by Renzo Piano, it representsstate of the art engineering technological excellence put at the service of Culture and Art. It houses Greece's two most important cultural institutions: the National Library, with its 750,000 volumes, and the Greek National Opera.
