COLAS

[Our own way 🙌] In Cayenne, public transport is being reinvented! After five years of works, French Guiana’s very first BRT (Bus Rapid Transit) is coming to life, delivered through a public-private partnership led by the CACL Guyane and built by IBYS, a consortium headed by Colas. Two lines, 10 km of route, 21 stations, and with 6,100 metric tons of asphalt mix saved thanks to our Colgrill reinforced asphalt solution, this project embodies our vision for more inclusive, sustainable mobility. On the innovation side, BIM (Building Information Modeling) improved coordination and enabled predictive maintenance, while simultaneously integrating environmental constraints from the earliest design phases. Moving forward, the infrastructure will be maintained by a local team for 30 years, securing the project’s place in the community and in the everyday lives of French Guianese people. Watch the video below to learn more about what the three little letters “BRT” mean for this community 😉 #WeOpenTheWay #Mobility #Sustainability

Le recyclage des matériaux passe à la vitesse supérieure en Île-de-France ! ♻️ À Marcoussis (91), notre filiale Tersen vient d’inaugurer une nouvelle plateforme Valormat :  👉 7 hectares dédiés au recyclage des déchets de chantier, 👉 Un objectif de 250 000 tonnes de bétons valorisées par an, 👉 10 millions d’euros d’investissement, soutenu par l’ADEME dans le cadre du plan France Relance.   Cette plateforme permet aux entreprises, collectivités, artisans et particuliers de déposer leurs déchets inertes… mais aussi d’acheter des matériaux recyclés comme du sablon, des graviers ou de la terre végétale pour des projets d’aménagement et de végétalisation.   📍Situé à proximité de l’A10 et des grands axes franciliens, le site de Marcoussis s’inscrit pleinement dans la stratégie de Colas : accompagner nos clients dans leurs projets au plus près des besoins des territoires.   À lire dans Les Echos 👇 https://lnkd.in/eFWmjfnT

[Our highlights 💛] Sold to the highest bidder! 🔨 Earlier this month, the Colas Foundation, the corporate foundation of the Colas Group, hosted a charity auction unlike any other 🎨 About 80 works from the Foundation’s contemporary art collection, centered around the theme of “the road,” found new homes. In total, we raised nearly €350,000 for the benefit of the Apprentis d'Auteuil Foundation to support the integration of young people through culture! Since 2022, the Colas Foundation has evolved to now support and promote initiatives that foster the social and professional integration of young people through education, training, and access to employment, as well as through economic activity, sports, or culture. Thank you to everyone who participated in this event. We’re proud to be contributing to this important cause 👏 #ColasFoundation #Commitment #WeOpenTheWay

[Our own way 🙌] “Never give up!” New beginnings in the face of disaster 🌹 Take a deep dive into the work that Sully-Miller Contracting Co., our subsidiary in southern California, USA, is carrying out following the devastating fires that hit Los Angeles in late January. In the northern part of the city, the Eaton Fire wiped out whole neighborhoods and damaged or destroyed over 10,000 structures. As Team Lead Bernardo explains, fifteen Sully-Miller teams are working at a pace of one to two days per lot, clearing out the debris from what used to be someone’s house and recycling the materials removed. Our subsidiary is doing its part to help the people here start to rebuild, and at some lots even leaving a rosebush behind. This means homeowners have something that inspires hope and new life when they eventually return. 🎬To see our teams in action, watch the video here👇 Colas USA #WeOpenTheWay #GettingThingsDone #WeActForCommunities
