Industrial & logistics platforms
As key links in the supply chain, industrial and logistics platforms must withstand heavy truck traffic and continuous flows. Colas designs, builds, and maintains durable, safe infrastructures tailored to the operational requirements of operators and project owners.
Our expertise: slabs, heavy-duty roadways & optimized foundations
Colas manages the entire process, from soil assessment to operational delivery, while taking into account phasing, concurrent activities, and environmental sustainability requirements.
Assessment & dimensioning
Each project begins with a precise geotechnical and structural assessment: bearing capacity, CBR, hydrogeological conditions, and projected heavy truck traffic.
Foundations and pavements are then designed according to logistics standards (FM Global, HQE, BREEAM), ensuring durable performance at controlled costs.
Drainage & gestion des eaux pluviales
Each project begins with a precise geotechnical and structural assessment: bearing capacity, CBR, hydrogeological conditions, and projected heavy truck traffic.
Foundations and pavements are then designed according to logistics standards (FM Global, HQE, BREEAM), ensuring durable performance at controlled costs.
Phasing on operational sites & business continuity
Our teams work on active logistics sites using tailored construction phasing, ensuring operational continuity and user safety.
With precise planning, night-time intervention windows, and multi-stakeholder coordination, each project is designed to minimize disruptions, even on occupied sites.
Our high-performance solutions
Safety & operations
Flowell: dynamic luminous signage
Our Flowell solution secures conflict zones (vehicles, trucks, pedestrians) with integrated luminous road markings.
Crossings light up as a vehicle approaches, enhancing visibility and flow responsiveness. This technology is ideal for high-traffic logistics platforms, where safety is a top priority.
Intelligent transport systems & durable markings
Aximum, a subsidiary of Colas, deploys intelligent transport systems (ITS) combining technology, signage, and connected data to enhance the safety and efficiency of logistics flows. These include:
- Sensors and detection devices to monitor vehicle and equipment movements in real time;
- Dynamic signage (such as Flowell) that adapts displays based on traffic or priorities;
- Connected access control and regulation solutions to manage loading and storage areas;
- Durable, high-visibility road markings ensuring safe and clear circulation.
Through this integrated approach, we help operators achieve safer, smoother, and smarter logistics operations.
