#SustainableMobility This week’s poll asks: what is the difference in carbon impact between a 10 km trip by a conventional car (alone) and the same 10 km by train? 🚗 Think about vehicle occupancy, energy source and real‑world emissions when you vote. ❓ We’ll reveal the answer and share practical tips to reduce travel carbon on worksites after the poll. Stay tuned and join the conversation! 📊 #ColasRail #Environment #Worksites #Poll

#SustainableMobility This summer, we launch a LinkedIn poll series called: "Environment - Taking action on our worksites". 🌍🚧 Each week we will test your reasoning with a practical question about how to reduce the environmental and social impact of construction activities, from noise and emissions to local engagement.❓ Results and takeaways will be shared after each poll. Let’s build more sustainable rail projects together! 📊 #ColasRail #Environment #Worksites #Poll

#UrbanMobility   A significant milestone has been reached on the Greater Cairo Metro Line 4: the first train from Japan has successfully arrived at the depot. 🚆    This achievement confirms the depot’s readiness for future operations and marks a key step forward for one of Egypt’s most important urban mobility projects.   As part of Phase 1, Colas Rail Egypt is delivering railway systems, track, and depot works along 19 km and 17 stations, linking central Greater Cairo to the iconic Pyramids area in Giza.    A collective effort to drive sustainable mobility and improve daily life for millions of Cairo residents. 🌍   #ColasRail #ColasRailEgypt #GreaterCairoMetroLine4 #UrbanTransport #SustainableMobility #RailInfrastructure #Egypt

#WorldEnvironmentDay   Concrete is everywhere in our projects and its carbon footprint must be taken into account.   🌍 In 2025, concrete accounted for 7% of Colas Rail’s greenhouse gas emissions from purchases of goods and services, up to 40% of the carbon footprint of 1 km of concrete track, and even 50% of the construction sector’s emissions worldwide.   To limit emissions, we can: ✔ choose the right exposure classes to avoid over‑specifying cement content ✔ replace part of the cement with lower‑impact alternatives (slag, fly ash, etc.) ✔ involve all stakeholders from design to execution to optimise performance and footprint   The new NF EN 206+A2/CN standard, published in France in December 2025, helps to promote the deployment of “concrete with reduced carbon impact”, meeting requirements that reduce impact while preserving durability.   Every step counts from preparation to pouring, to build durable infrastructure while lowering our environmental impact.   #ColasRail #WorldEnvironmentDay #LowCarbonConcrete #Decarbonisation #SustainableConstruction #Innovation #CarbonFootprint
