Industrial Facilities
Leveraging its expertise in transport and development infrastructure, Colas has been developing products and services dedicated to industrial facilities and logistics platforms for several decades.
Building and maintaining high-performance and sustainable industrial facilities
The Group designs, builds, and maintains these strategic sites, with a focus on robustness, adaptability, and deadline control, working on behalf of industrial, logistics, and port operators.
Solutions that match the needs of industrial sites
Industrial facilities require bespoke engineering solutions to guarantee roadway performance, foundation resistance, flow management, and network integration.
Colas mobilizes its technical skills to design and deliver projects adapted to:
- intensive rolling loads (heavy trucks, specialist machinery),
- the extended lifespan of structures,
- the operational safety of logistics zones.
Tried and tested technical solutions
Colas uses high-performance products developed specifically for the industrial environment:
Colas products
- Optibase: high-performance bituminous base structure, reducing the thickness of the base courses while ensuring excellent resistance; with an optimized formulation to reduce the thickness of the base course and subbase
- Betoflex: asphalt mix with very high mechanical performance, offering optimal resistance to deformation and rutting for infrastructure subject to enormous stresses
- Colstrong: high-performance surfacing, resistant to the most extreme loads (unloading docks, storage areas, etc.)
Securing traffic flows with Flowell
Some industrial facilities and logistics platforms present significant risks associated with the simultaneous movement of vehicles, handling equipment and pedestrians.
To address this, Colas proposes Flowell, a dynamic light-emitting road marking solution directly integrated into the road or traffic zones.
Flowell makes it possible to:
- signal a danger zone in real time (truck exit zone, machine crossing, temporarily restricted zone),
- increase visibility when conditions require it (night, fog, rain),
- and adapt signals to the platform’s operations (automatic detection, safety scenarios).
