#Award   We are proud to announce that we have won the 2024 call for projects by the FONDATION D'ENTREPRISE FEREC - RECHERCHE COLLECTIVE POUR LA CONSTRUCTION ET LES INFRASTRUCTURES in the "Infrastructure and Water Management" category! 🏆   We are thrilled and honored to have received this award for our innovative Dust Ioniser project, presented during the ceremony held on October 15th in Paris. 🏆   This project, carried out in partnership with ESTACA - Ecole Supérieure des Techniques Aéronautiques et de Construction Automobile, aims to revolutionize our practices by combining innovation with environmental responsibility.   The Dust Ioniser represents a major breakthrough in managing dust on our rail projects. By releasing negative ions to electrostatically capture dust particles, we significantly reduce water consumption on ballast renewal sites – a sustainable alternative to the intensive use of 15,000 liters of water per night, which typically accounts for 80% of water usage on these projects. 💧   A big thank you to the FEREC for their trust. 🤝   #ColasRail #AwardCeremony #Innovation #DustIoniser #FEREC

#CSR Colas Rail Gabon rallies for a cleaner coastline! 🌍 On September 18th and 19th, our team of ten dedicated employees took part in a beach cleanup operation at the Sablière coastline. Over the course of 2.5 hours each day, they collected approximately 20 bags (160l each) of plastic waste scattered across the beach, ensuring that these harmful materials would be evacuated for treatment and recycling. This initiative, launched by our team, is a collaboration with the Akanda City authorities, who provided collection bins, and a recycling company that will process the plastics. Our goal is simple: keep our coastline clean and raise awareness about the importance of sustainability. 💪 #ColasRail #OnTrackForASustainableFuture #Gabon #Act
