[Our highlights 💛] Going further, together 🏃🏃♀️ At Colas, we’re convinced that by pooling our diverse talents and resources, we can build cross-disciplinary bridges that are a source of progress and innovation. 🤝 This sense of teamwork was put on display last weekend when 28 Colas team members representing seven countries laced up their sneakers and hit the course for the 2024 Marathon in Budapest, Hungary! Twenty-four Colas employees participated in the race as part of six relay teams which worked together to promote trust, responsibility and solidarity. In addition, two full marathon runners, one 30K runner and one 14K runner proudly represented the Colas yellow this year. Several hundred employees have participated in the race since Colas first took part in 2015. 👏A huge congratulations to all the participants for their effort and accomplishments, and for embodying our values of Caring, Sharing and Daring! #WeOpenTheWay #ColasDares #CreatingConnections

[Our own way 🙌] Creating connections between Gisors and Pontoise in northern France! Our teams from Colas Rail recently laced up their boots and raced against the clock to finish a two-week project for SNCF RESEAU, the French national rail network’s infrastructure manager! The works included renovating the J line between Gisors and Pontoise and making it possible to lift the permanent speed limit set at 60 km/h (about 40 mph) in the muddy area near Pontoise. To revamp this line, which transports about 260,000 passengers daily, the 200 employees involved in the project relied on special equipment to keep everything on track 😉 From a RM900 ballast cleaner to a P95T high output track renewal train to 12 locomotives, 80 wagons, three tampers and a ballast regulator, our teams had an impressive range of machines they expertly operated. Some key figures: - 6,480 meters (about 7,000 yards) of ballast renewal on one part of the worksite - 3,280 meters (about 3,500 yards) of track and ballast renewal on another part of the worksite - Creation of a central drainage system along 700 meters (about 750 yards) with the installation of a transverse culvert Moreover, in an effort to reduce our environmental impact, teams reused 50% of old ballast for these works. #WeOpenTheWay #ColasDares #CreatingConnections

[We ACT for the planet 🌎] Poll results! Last week, we asked you if you'd like more information about how we reduce our carbon footprint with innovative products, techniques and solutions. Today, we are going to focus on…asphalt mixes! They're all around us; we drive, cycle and ride on them to get where we need to go. But when was the last time you really thought about how they're made? Aggregates, bitumen and sand. That's the traditional recipe. But in the video below, we show you how we go one step further! To reduce the carbon footprint of the materials we use on our worksites, we've put in place several levers at every stage of the process: ✅ Creation of new generations of asphalt mixes that incorporate more bio-based raw materials ✅ Real-time production monitoring for optimized energy consumption ✅ Lower production temperatures to reduce energy consumption ✅ Modernized industrial sites to incorporate more reclaimed asphalt pavement into new formulas From the laboratory to our manufacturing sites to application in the field, dive into Colas' asphalt mix production 👇🎥

Our Central region paving crew has been busy at the University of Wyoming in Laramie! This project is a significant step towards better accessibility and safety for students, faculty, and visitors. The new pavement will not only improve the overall aesthetics of surroundings but will also provide a smoother, more reliable commuting experience. Together, we’re paving the way for a more connected and enjoyable UW experience! Go Pokes! #simonteam #colasusa #paving #wyomingcowboys

[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
