COLAS’ Post

[Press Release 📢] Linking up Lyon (France)!   Colas has been chosen, in a consortium with two of our subsidiaries, PERRIER TP and AXIMUM (Groupe COLAS), by SYTRAL Mobilités to build a Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) line linking Lyon Part-Dieu station to the carrefour des Sept Chemins in Bron!   As the project is located in the heart of the Lyon metropolitan area, the consortium will pay particular attention to reducing and optimizing transport flows. Moreover, in line with its commitment to respecting the environment, the consortium will implement solutions designed to reduce the carbon footprint of its operations, in particular by using clear permeable coatings that use bio-sourced binders.   To learn more, click through the slideshow below and read the press release here 👉https://lnkd.in/eqn2TWA8   #ColasDares #CreatingConnections #WeOpenTheWay

[More than a job 💛] Live from the field, meet Nikola! Over the next few weeks, we will be shining a spotlight on the COLAS Hrvatska team members behind our work on the A11 highway. The project involves building a 10-km (over 6 miles) extension from Zagreb southward to Sisak. This new stretch will help bolster economic development in the region by connecting it to the Croatian capital. First up is Nikola, who joined Colas right after graduating school. Nearly six years later, he’s moved through the ranks to reach his current role of civil engineer! Nikola, who has been involved in the A11 project since its origins about three years ago, says he’s proud of the work he and the teams have completed. “When we first started, it was all fields. Now, it’s a great feeling when you can drive along the highway and see it all done, when you can look back on challenges and laugh because they’ve been overcome.” Click through the below slideshow to learn more about Nikola’s contributions! #ColasDares #CreatingConnections #WeOpenTheWay

[Our own way 🙌] Does something seem unusual to you? In the below photos, you can see an asphalt mix worksite in Fairbanks, Alaska. Team members are wearing their PPE, pavement is being milled and leveled and machines are taking turns applying new surfacing. At first glance, this roadway repair project intended to ensure accessibility and road safety for local communities looks like a classic Colas construction site… except it’s nearly midnight! In Alaska, teams rely on the long hours of sunlight in the summer to carry out as many projects as possible before winter weather halts all construction. In Fairbanks, which is located just below the Arctic Circle, the sun shines for up to 20 hours a day in the summer. Known as the "midnight sun," this phenomenon allows Colas teams to complete "night" construction work under safer conditions, similar to those during the day, with reduced traffic. #ColasDares #WeOpenTheWay #CreatingConnections Colas USA

[Our own way🙌] Get ready for the future with Colas! The world around us is changing at a rapid pace. At Colas, we're anticipating the Megatrends shaping our industry to stay ahead of the curve. In the latest issue of Routes, we take a deep dive into the four key trends that will impact how we build and operate in the coming years. Let's take a closer look: 1️⃣ Global tensions: navigating geopolitical shifts and energy challenges requires agility and resilience. 2️⃣ Demographic & societal changes: as urbanization grows and professional expectations evolve, so too must our approaches to construction and workforce management. 3️⃣ Technology: from digitalization to AI, embracing innovation is crucial to enhancing efficiency and sustainability. 4️⃣ Climate change: building resilient infrastructure and managing resources responsibly is more critical than ever.

[Our highlights 💛] Preserving Our Heritage 🏛 European Heritage Days are here! To mark the occasion, we’re highlighting some emblematic projects Colas has undertaken to preserve and showcase the heritage of routes, networks and connections… which is, after all, one of the themes of the 2024 edition 😉 From improving accessibility in Paris’ Tuileries Garden with our renovation of the Fer à Cheval ramps, in partnership with the Louvre Museum, to building a bicycle lane in the Kings' North Zealand National Park in Denmark (a UNESCO World Heritage site), Colas teams are opening the way with a blend of tradition and modernity. Even though this weekend is specifically dedicated to European Heritage Days, preserving heritage is a year-round endeavor at Colas. This shouldn’t come as a surprise, as one of the Group’s three values is Caring. We even have a skill-sharing patronage program with a focus on preserving historical monuments, to which we apply our skills, expertise, specific techniques and solutions to promote responsible development.
