🌍 Making infrastructure sustainable - one gantry at a time! 🚧 Together with ASFINAG, we have installed the first operational "Green Gantry" made from renewable timber on a highway in Carinthia, Austria. 🌱 Reduced CO2 footprint: by using renewable timber, the Green Gantry binds 15 tons of CO2 compared to the up to 30 tons produced by steel gantries. 🌿 Environmental Benefits: With a lifespan of at least 20 years, the gantry can be dismantled and reused, minimizing environmental impact. ⚙️ Technical Features: Features weather-resistant layers and is powered by its own photovoltaic system with battery storage to ensure continuous operation.

Around the world, Colas teams design and deliver active mobility infrastructure adapted to everyday use, exercise and tourism. These options are efficient, enjoyable, good for your health and good for the planet. Let's take a closer look at... Colas bike paths! Check out notable features of three recently completed or recently commissioned paths for cyclists below: 🚲𝗟𝗮𝘀𝘁 𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗽 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗽𝗹𝗲𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗯𝗶𝗰𝘆𝗰𝗹𝗲 𝗿𝗼𝘂𝘁𝗲 𝗙𝟭𝟬𝟱 𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝗛𝗲𝗿𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗮𝗹𝘀 𝘁𝗼 𝗟𝗲𝗼𝗽𝗼𝗹𝗱𝘀𝗯𝘂𝗿𝗴 𝗶𝗻 𝗕𝗲𝗹𝗴𝗶𝘂𝗺 - About 36 km (22 miles) long - Involved the construction of two bike tunnels and nine bike bridges - Provides an attractive alternative to car transportation for the region 🚲𝗚𝗿𝗲𝗲𝗻𝘄𝗮𝘆 𝗶𝗻 𝗦𝗲̀𝘁𝗲, 𝘀𝗼𝘂𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗻 𝗙𝗿𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗳𝗲𝗮𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗺𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝘀𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗶𝗻𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲 𝘀𝗼𝗹𝘂𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀 - 2.6 km (about 1.5 miles) of bike path - Featuring a trial section of Colas’ solution Colstab Ostrea, an attractive and durable pavement suited for soft mobility options that combats urban heat islands and incorporates recycled crushed oyster shells - Built using 700 metric tons of asphalt mix, including 150 metric tons of Raincol, a permeable asphaltic concrete developed by Colas that helps combat soil sealing and reduces flood risk 🚲𝗖𝗼𝗺𝗺𝗶𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗼𝗳 𝗪𝗮𝘁𝘁𝘄𝗮𝘆 𝗽𝗵𝗼𝘁𝗼𝘃𝗼𝗹𝘁𝗮𝗶𝗰 𝗰𝘆𝗰𝗹𝗲 𝗽𝗮𝘁𝗵𝘀 𝗯𝘆 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝘃𝗶𝗻𝗰𝗲𝘀 𝗼𝗳 𝗡𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗵 𝗕𝗿𝗮𝗯𝗮𝗻𝘁 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗡𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗵 𝗛𝗼𝗹𝗹𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗶𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗡𝗲𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗹𝗮𝗻𝗱𝘀 - Two cycle paths with a surface area of 1,000 m² each, to be equipped with Colas’ Wattway technology - The challenge set by the provinces is for Wattway to produce 160 MWh/year of renewable energy in its first year for the Dutch grid - Responds to the complex challenge of producing renewable energy despite limited land #CreatingConnections #WeOpenTheWay #ColasCares

Regeneration in the realm of ports means breathing new life into their infrastructure, ecosystems, and surrounding communities with a focus on sustainability and resilience. This includes actions like reviving deteriorated coastal zones, introducing eco-friendly infrastructure projects, and supporting local economies through sustainable methods. By regenerating ports, we're essentially creating lively, eco-conscious centers that set an example for sustainable growth, making a positive impact on people's lives today and for the generations to come.

🌍 Taking Bold Steps Towards Decarbonization 🌱 The urgency of climate action is undeniable. At Westport, we recognize the critical role businesses play in driving sustainable change. That's why we're proud to announce our recent photovoltaic (PV) installation expansions in our Brescia (Italy) and Słupsk (Poland) plants. These installations are not just about embracing renewable energy; they signify our commitment to reducing carbon emissions and mitigating climate change. Covering up to 20% of our energy demands in those plants, and reducing our carbon footprint is a significant milestone in our sustainability journey. The time for action is now, and we're committed to playing our part. Join us in our mission to drive positive change and build a more sustainable world for generations to come. Together, we can make a difference. 🌟☀️ #ClimateAction #Decarbonization #RenewableEnergy #Sustainability #PVInstallation

"Exciting progress for renewable energy enthusiasts! 🌞 A federal judge has just green-lighted the SunZia transmission line construction in Arizona despite environmental concerns. This pivotal decision not only propels us closer to a sustainable energy future but also highlights the intricate balance between conservation efforts and infrastructure development. 🏗️🌱 The SunZia project is designed to transport wind-generated electricity from rural New Mexico to the Arizona urban markets. While environmentalists voiced unease over the potential impact on wildlife and habitats, this ruling underscores the urgency in transitioning towards green energy. 💡🌿 As we celebrate this milestone, the conversation around environmentally responsible construction practices remains at the forefront. It's a collective journey towards cleaner energy, and every step counts. How do you envision the future of sustainable construction? 🌍💬 #RenewableEnergy #SustainableDevelopment #Innovation"

This is another project we've been able to help be apart of over the last two years, as Annacis Island Wastewater Treatment Plant has been making the needed upgrades to the area to be able to support this project. If you need quick communication and delivery to the community / area that you are responsible for, contact us today! "Metro Vancouver is installing new technology at the Annacis Island Wastewater Treatment Plant with the power to turn liquid waste into jet fuel! It’s called hydrothermal liquefaction (or HTL for short), and it creates high-quality, low- carbon, renewable fuel that can be used in airplanes, container ships, trains and trucks. Metro Vancouver’s HTL project will not only reduce the amount of biosolids that we will need to apply to land, it also provides a circular approach to creating fuel from the carbon that is already circulating in our environment. Unlike fossil fuels, using the bio-crude does not change the level of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere... " LINK TO VIDEO: https://lnkd.in/giApjhab
