Energy
Colas supports the development of energy production and transport, by designing and building the infrastructure required for installation and connection.
Guarantee sustainable access, reliable platforms, and optimized technical solutions for each contracting client
Meeting the growing needs for energy production infrastructure
Against the backdrop of the climate emergency and energy transition objectives, low-carbon energy production projects are multiplying. Our teams take part in complex projects, directly related to environmental, regulatory, and logistics requirements specific to each sector.
Colas deploys its expertise to:
- secure and facilitate access to production sites,
- ensure the load-bearing capacity and durability of assembly platforms,
- integrate environmental constraints into project design,
- propose low-carbon solutions adapted to each site,
- ensure efficient connection of new facilities to existing power grids.
Sustainable techniques with a reduced carbon footprint
Colas integrates innovative solutions with a reduced environmental footprint into its renewable energy projects, designed to combine performance, sustainability, and protection of the planet.
Colas solutions
- Easycold: a cold mix that substantially reduces CO₂ emissions during its manufacture and application, while delivering performance equivalent to traditional asphalt mixes, ideal for access roads.
- Colstrong: a pavement reinforcement solution adapted to heavy loads and abnormal load vehicles, extending the lifespan of platforms.
- Vegeroad: a range of mixes containing a partially bio-based bituminous binder; can be used for wearing courses and base courses.
