By leveraging off our dynamic parent company – The COLAS Group – we’re able to provide industry leading solutions which are targeted to the specific needs of our clients. COLAS is one of the world’s largest civil engineering firms in the world, specialising in the construction and maintenance of road, air, rail and maritime transport infrastructure. Backed by a workforce of 57,000 people, COLAS undertakes about 72,000 projects every year in some fifty countries worldwide on five continents.
