Your hard work and dedication truly make a difference! 💪 #simonteam #colasusa #goalzero

[Our own way 🙌] Ever wondered what it’s like to operate an underground quarry? 🪨 Go behind the scenes with Colas as we give you an exclusive look at Carrières d'Arvel SA located in scenic Villeneuve, Switzerland! Here, our teams are extracting the hard rock essential to producing railway ballast and road aggregates for the country. As Quarry Coordinator Julien explains, the quarry activity is carried out inside the mountain to increase the site’s acceptability. From protecting endemic species to avoiding noise and dust pollution for local residents, our teams take the quarry’s environmental impact very seriously.

[Our own way 🙌] A technique used 'round the world! 🗺 Following deployments in France, the United Kingdom, and Saudi Arabia, our teams rolled out Recycol, Colas' solution for road asset maintenance, in a new location...Gabon! Used to resurface the Transgabonaise, one of the country's major roads, this technique involves a train of machines that recycles the pavement in a single pass. The existing road materials are drilled up and treated, then laid down again and compacted, all at a low temperature. Recycol offers many advantages: ✅ Less materials used, preserving natural resources ✅ Less energy consumed and greenhouse gases emitted ✅ Less transportation and vehicle traffic ✅ Less time needed to complete the project To learn more about Recycol and other solutions Colas offers that reduce road works’ impact on the environment 👉 https://swll.to/nfpj2C #WeOpenTheWay #ColasDares #ColasShares

Hazánk egyik legrégebbi vízügyi műtárgya, a Csepel-sziget északi csücskénél található, 1911-ben átadott Kvassay-zsilip modernizációjában a Colas Alterra munkatársai is részt vettek. 👷♂️ A több mint 100 éves zsilip összetett feladatai miatt korszerűsítésére már nagy szükség volt. 🛠️ A modernizálás keretén belül megtörtént: 🔹 az erőmű turbináinak és a darupályák felújítása, 🔹 az épület energetikai rendszerének korszerűsítése, 🔹 új szivattyútelep létesítése szívó- és nyomóoldali műtárgyak és csővezetékrendszer kiépítésével, 🔹 a műemléki védettség alatt álló zsilipkezelő épület és a komplexum közelében álló szolgálati lakás, valamint a gerendatároló felújítása, 🔹 továbbá az uszadékkiemelő rendszer modernizálása. A videó készítésekor az egyik leglátványosabb munkafolyamat, a szivattyúk beemelése zajlott. Az új szivattyúk 6 méter magasak és másodpercenként 30m³ víz átemelésére képesek. Az új szivattyútelep lehetőséget ad arra, hogy hatékonyan kezeljük a jövőbeni vízgazdálkodási kihívásokat, például a klímaváltozás által okozott szélsőséges vízállási ingadozásokat. Ezáltal biztosítva a hosszú távú vízgazdálkodási stabilitást és a térség biztonságát. 📸 Nagy Balázs

[Our own way 🙌] Colas yellow in Greenland! 💛💚 Our teams from Colas Danmark A/S recently made the long trip to Tasiilaq, Greenland to pave local roads! This town of 2,000 inhabitants may be small, but our work there was no small feat. In a continuation of resurfacing work already carried out in 2014 and 2016, our teams laid asphalt mix on a large part of the town’s roads last summer with the help of a mobile asphalt plant adapted to remote locations. This project required a lot of preparation and logistical planning…for example, it takes three weeks to send machines and materials up to Greenland! In addition, as the weather is unpredictable, our teams had to adapt to changing circumstances and find alternative ways of doing things. Improving driving conditions, fostering connections, and enhancing safety meant that this was an important project for the community. We’re proud of our teams for their hard work, flexibility, and dedication 👏 Check out photos of the project below 👇 #WeOpenTheWay #CreatingConnections #ColasCares
