HUNGARY<br />
On the<br />
outskirts of Budapest<br />
Teams from <strong>Colas</strong> Hungaria have been<br />
working on the M31 highway construction<br />
project since October 2008. The route<br />
will provide a link between the M0 and<br />
M3 highways in the eastern suburbs of Budapest.<br />
Largely funded by the European Union, the work<br />
– mobilizing some 400 employees – involves<br />
building a 12.4-km four-lane section of freeway,<br />
including entrance and exit ramps and bridges.<br />
The new infrastructure will relieve congestion<br />
on the East section of the M0 highway which<br />
currently handles ever-increasing volumes<br />
of traffic from major routes, leaving residents<br />
in surrounding neighborhoods to enjoy a much<br />
improved living environment. <br />

Panhard: warm mix<br />
asphalt wins the day<br />
The Panhard logistics platform project<br />
in Le Coudray-Montceaux, just south<br />
of Paris, saw teams from Screg<br />
Ile-de-France-Normandie clearing<br />
and treating 120,000 m 2 of soil.<br />
They also applied 10,000 tons<br />
of warm mix asphalt, which helped<br />
save 173 tons of CO2 equivalent,<br />
along with hydrocarbon separators<br />
to treat rain water.<br />
