[Our own way 🙌 ] Go behind the scenes of Paris-Orly airport with us! 🛫 To ensure that all goes smoothly for the millions of passengers who use ORY airport every month, our teams from Colas France are available around the clock, working on maintenance projects for this international travel hub. Indeed, Colas has been providing upkeep work for the airport for about 40 years now, and last year we once again won the maintenance contract for all the small-scale maintenance projects that arise on a daily basis. This means our teams will have steady work for the duration of the eight-year contract, ensuring hospitality and safety at the airport. From repairing a deterioration on the runway surface at a moment’s notice to fixing a curb in the drop-off area, all our “minor” projects add up to have a big impact. Our teams on the ground adapt to the constant flow of different demands to deliver meticulous results, with a response that is both swift and targeted. Colas won this competitive contract thanks to a variety of factors including our organizational capacity and our ability to track and quantify our activities. Moreover, because our corporate project ACT is aligned with the Groupe ADP’s CSR objectives, our bid highlighted several of our strengths in this area including: - Our low carbon solutions such as Vegeroad, of which we have now paved about 7,000 metric tons at the airport, - Our innovations such as Flowell and Wattway, and the expertise of our laboratories that enables them to provide tailored solutions, particularly bio-sourced binders, - Our tracking of carbon emissions using the Colas Carbon Counter, with a QSE employee dedicated to this task and finding ways to reduce our emissions. Did you know? At ORY airport, Colas teams and subsidiaries work in synergy. In addition to our construction and maintenance teams: - Premys is involved in deconstruction and asbestos removal work, - AXIMUM (Groupe COLAS) provides signage, - Tersen is responsible for recycling materials, - La Division Assainissement et Environnement (The Sanitation and Environment Division) carries out network cleaning and lining, - SPAC SAS (Groupe Colas) works on the facilities kerosene networks. In addition, Bouygues Energies & Services worked with us on the perimeter protection project to electrify the security fences. #ColasDares #WeOpenTheWay #CreatingConnections

[More than a job 💛] Meet Floriane, who works as a machine operator at the Arvel quarry in Switzerland! For nearly fifteen years, she has been responsible for sorting inert materials, wood, metals and incinerable waste using her grab excavator. Floriane cares about her environment. “We share our working space with numerous animal and plant species and it’s important to try to protect them. When I see toads and insects around the facilities, I make sure they are left undisturbed. Protecting the environment is about respecting it too.” Floriane regularly works alongside visiting biologists at the Arvel quarry. The strict specifications in place at extraction sites to preserve biodiversity are very important to her. As for her passion for machinery, it dates back to her childhood. "When I was very young, I dreamed of climbing into a truck or a train," she recalls. Native to the region, she has always known about this longstanding quarry. And now history is being repeated as Floriane has introduced the quarry to her own children. “For them, it’s like going to an amusement park!” she enthuses. Some new vocations in the making perhaps?
