Part of České Budějovice Bypass Finished

The South Bohemian metropolis is chronically overloaded with transit traffic, so any new road that has the potential to relieve České Budějovice, is only welcomed. This is also true of the so-called South Tangent (road II/143), which connects the existing I/3 road with the construction of the city section of the D3 motorway. The nearly three-kilometre-long link, whose investor is the South Bohemia Region, is being completed these days by a consortium of Colas CZ and FIRESTA-Fišer.

Tramway line Ohrada - Palmovka

The complete reconstruction of the tramway link, which was carried out by a consortium of Colas CZ, a.s. and FIRESTA-Fišer and whose investor was the Prague Public Transit Company (DPP), is now fully functional.

Safe and comfortable travel. Colas CZ completes rehabilitation of road and tram track in Pilsen

Complete road and tram closures often make it difficult for people to move around the city, which is why it is always good to make the most of them.

In the space of five months, Colas CZ managed to carry out rehabilitation works on the tram track and tram stop as well as on the road.

Financial Year 2022

COLAS Group has published its financial annual report called Financial Year 2022.

D1 Reconstruction - section Lipník nad Bečvou - Ostrava

D1 is the oldest and also the longest motorway in the Czech Republic. This essentially means that it is, non-surprisingly, the most repaired one. In the past, our company has had a number of contracts regarding the Czech motorway network and even now our team is currently working on the reconstruction of the traffic lanes (in both directions) in the section between Lipník nad Bečvou and Ostrava.

Third Lane for Mladá Boleslav Motorway

In the places where it passes Mladá Boleslav, the D10 motorway is one of the busiest traffic arteries in the Czech Republic. Over 40,000 cars pass through the area each day. Traffic is also getting heavier due to drivers who need to pass Prague from exit 46 and continue on the I/16 road to Sobotka. They have had to take the through lane, to only turn off from it again after about one kilometre at exit 44 B.

New Bridges for Railway Line No. 194

Jednokolejná regionální trať č. 194, spojující České Budějovice se srdcem Šumavy, se dočkala elegantního řešení v aglomeraci. Na okraji jihočeské metropole nově vede po dvou mostech, které překlenuly budoucí okružní křižovatku.

Second Time on "Podbeskydská Magistrála"

Colas CZ, a.s. is building another section of D48 motorway. The four-lane road, which is currently not compliant with the standards, will become a fully-fledged and safe motorway, connecting the D1 with Poland once fully completed.

COLAS Increases Informing the Employees about the Health & Safety Matters

From 10th to 14th October 2022, COLAS Group organises Safety Week for its 57,000 employees all over the world. It is a yearly event focused on learning and raising awareness about safety and health matters during work. The Safety Week will be happening in 800 construction and 3,000 production and recycling facilities in more than 50 countries. By this, COLAS Group emphasises its commitment of consolidating global safety matters and health protection measures.

Open Day in Čenkov Quarry & HAMP

Due to the safety reasons, all our quarries and HAMPs are generally closed to the public. Nevertheless, COLAS CZ, a.s. wishes to show that even such facilities can be an interesting place for visiting, which is why Open Days are occasionally organised in both plants and quarries, the last of which took place on Saturday, 8th October 2022, in our Čenkov Quarry and HAMP located in Central Bohemia.

Digitalisation of the D48 Bělotín-Rybí Construction using BIM Technology

Brozit – Bioproduct produced by COLAS

Brozit, an amphibolite powder used as a fertiliser for plants and forest-tree species, is the only rock powder registered with the Central Institute for Supervising and Testing in Agriculture the Czech Republic. Our colleague Sebastian, who has managed to combine his knowledge from geology studies, practical quarry experience and, above all, his curiosity and interest in rocks and minerals, has been doing the research all along.

Women in Construction

Although the division of work into purely men’s and women’s is becoming increasingly more distant from reality, it still persists in some professions. While, for example, women dominate among medical staff, the opposite is true on construction sites. According to data from the Ministry of Industry, there is only one woman among ten employees in the construction sector on average. As far as the self-employed are concerned, the share of women in construction activities even falls to several percent.
