[Press release 📢] We care about Cairo’s transportation! 🚇 Colas Rail, with Orascom Construction PLC and Hitachi Rail, has signed a contract with the Egyptian National Authority for Tunnels (NAT) to renovate line 1 of the Cairo underground system for a total of approximately 850 million euros, including 35% for Colas Rail. This line is the oldest in Egypt and is the backbone to the capital's urban transport system, currently carrying more than 1.5 million people every day. To meet the ever-increasing demand for mobility in Cairo, the authorities have decided to boost its transport capacity. Colas Rail will work with Orascom to modernize the electric power supply, catenary and electromechanical systems in stations and tunnels and on the rail track. Hitachi Rail, for its part, will modernize the signalling, control and telecommunications infrastructures. Major challenge: this work will be carried out during the day while maintaining commercial operations on the line. The project is expected to start in October 2024 and will run for 64 months. 💡 Did you know? Colas Rail has been supporting the development of mobility in Egypt for more than 40 years. Our subsidiary’s teams took part in the construction of line 1 of the Cairo metro in the 1980s. Find out more 👉 https://lnkd.in/eceyyYCC #WeOpenTheWay #CreatingConnections #ColasCares

[Our own way 🙌] Admit it – when you think “Colas,” our yellow diamond and orange machines are the first things that come to mind 😉 But, we are so much more than that! For example, do you know what our values are? Just like our work culture, our history and our expertise, our values are a fundamental part of our DNA. #WeOpenTheWay #CreatingConnections

[Our own way 🙌] Doing our part to support commerce in Europe! COLAS Polska/COLAS Kruszywa, Colas’ subsidiary in Poland, has recently wrapped up works on an extension project for the container terminal in Kąty Wrocławskie, near bustling Wrocław! Located close to the A4 motorway, this terminal encompasses a wide range of activities including handling, weighing, repairing, logging, storing and selling different types of containers coming from mains ports in Poland, the Netherlands, Belgium and Germany. In May and June of this year, our teams built a new structure that will be used by cranes to load and unload shipping containers. The substructure layer composed of bitumen measures 27 cm (about 10 in) thick, with the whole structure reaching a thickness of 39 cm (about 15 in). Because the terminal where we carried out the works remained operational during construction, precise planning and coordination were needed to make sure everything went smoothly. 💪 A big round of applause to our teams for their hard work and dedication! #WeOpenTheWay #CreatingConnections #ColasDares

#InService🚇   August 8, 2024, marks the historic opening of Hanoi Metro Line 3, a major advancement in the city's public transportation network!   This achievement is a testament to the incredible collaboration between our client, Hanoi Metropolitan Railway Management Board, our Consortium partners, and all the dedicated teams whose hard work made this possible.   On its first day alone, the line welcomed more than 34,000 passengers, showcasing its immediate positive impact on the community.   Colas Rail is excited to witness the positive impact this metro line will have on the city, and we look forward to continuing our journey of innovation and excellence as we move into the next phase, driving forward urban mobility and contributing to a greener future for Hanoi. 👏   For more information ➡️https://lnkd.in/emaVyqEB 📸MRB Facebook Page #ColasRail #UrbanMobility #Sustainability #HanoiMetro #OnTrackForASustainableFuture

[Our own way 🙌] It's time for sports at Colas: Episode 9! Climbing, canoeing, soccer, biking… tune in this summer to (re)discover a selection of emblematic Colas projects that are making sports activities possible around the world. Let’s take a trip to New Zealand to check out our recently renovated netball court at Ngāti Otara Park in southern Auckland. Netball courts require a smooth, durable and non-slip surface for optimal performance and player safety. Our teams recognized the versatility of asphalt beyond road construction and put their expertise to work to create an exceptional playing surface for all to enjoy. 💪 But this project wasn’t all smooth sailing - our teams had to content with challenges such as weather conditions and strict timelines. Nothing we couldn’t overcome, however, with effective planning and a whole lot of teamwork, all while ensuring minimal disruption to regular park activities. This project highlights the importance of community-focused initiatives. Parks enhance social connectivity, physical well-being and overall quality of life. Colas is proud to be creating connections not only by paving roads, but also by paving courts! 🍦Get the inside scoop from Coach Colas: Netball on the international scene 🌏 Did you know? Netball is played by two teams of seven players each trying to shoot a ball into their opponent’s net. This sport, which can be played indoors or outdoors, officially received International Olympic Committee recognition about 30 years ago, but it has never been included as part of the Games. But who knows, maybe in 2028, netball will make its debut in Los Angeles! 😉 #ColasDares #ColasCares #WeOpenTheWay Colas Limited (NZ)

[Our own way 🙌] It's time for sports at Colas: Episode 8! Climbing, canoeing, soccer, biking… tune in this summer to (re)discover a selection of emblematic Colas projects that are making sports activities possible around the world. Let’s make a stop in Marseille, in southern France, for a project that will blow you away⛵ Here, our subsidiary SPAC SAS (Groupe Colas) took part in the modernization of the Roucas-Blanc aquatic sports center. Our teams worked to meet the requirements of major sailing events and deliver a facility that offers a whole host of sailing activities for top-level athletes and the general public. Our teams got to work in the marina, creating a fifty-meter-long breakwater made of prefabricated elements to protect the water from the southern swells. The quayside housing the Technical Center has been extended by a structure built on piles that accommodates a boat careening and lifting area (with a water capture and treatment system), and a refueling station. A pedestrian walkway has been created around the marina to connect the Pôle France Voile sailing center to the new breakwater. Two ducts were also installed to allow water back into the basin and improve its quality following problems caused by silting up. 🍦Get the inside scoop from Coach Colas: Learn more about Marseilles' coastline 🐟 In addition to sailing activities, the marina will host events aimed at raising awareness of the importance of protecting marine life and the environment in general. #ColasDares #ColasCares #WeOpenTheWay Colas France

[Our own way 🙌] It's time for sports at Colas: Episode 7! Climbing, canoeing, soccer, biking… tune in this summer to (re)discover a selection of emblematic Colas projects that are making sports activities possible around the world. Our teams are diving into the water in Slovakia! 🏊♂️ In Košice, in the east of the country, COLAS Slovakia reconstructed the famous Red Star swimming pool between 2015 and 2016. The complex’s three pools and two buildings were modernized, all the while preserving the authenticity of the site’s original architecture. For example, in the northern building, the wooden furniture in the changing rooms was conserved, as were the original lockers which were renovated. The project also included building a playground and a water polo pool for use by local clubs and for national and international competitions. 🤽 🍦Get the inside scoop from Coach Colas: Preserving National Heritage Built in the 1930s, the Red Star pool is a Slovakian national cultural monument. #ColasDares #ColasCares #WeOpenTheWay
