Present in 50 countries with 64,000 employees, Colas designs and delivers mobility, energy, and water infrastructure supporting local and regional development. Project performance goes hand in hand with a strong commitment to reducing environmental impact and preserving ecosystems.
Innovation has long been a strategic pillar of Colas. Through BIM By Co, Colas is accelerating its digital transformation to anticipate tomorrow’s solutions and provide clients with technological, societal, and economic value. This transformation is driven by the evolution of tools and methods.
From AutoCAD to collaborative BIM, Autodesk solutions have fundamentally changed the way projects are designed, coordinated, and delivered—bringing design offices and field teams closer together. The company has also embraced using generative design, delivering up to 30% gains in time savings, design optimization, and scenario exploration. As a strategic partner, Autodesk supports Colas beyond software solutions, notably through Autodesk Consulting.
To go even further, Colas has developed 2IN, its territorial digital twin. This mapping platform brings together BIM, GIS, and open data (environmental, biodiversity, utilities, and land data). With Autodesk Construction Cloud, BIM models are integrated and contextualized within their real-world environment. Enhanced by AI with pavement condition monitoring, equipment GPS data, and weather information, the digital twin enables simulation, anticipation, and optimization of operations—supporting more sustainable and resilient infrastructure.
Through digital twins, Colas promotes a clear vision: facilitating mobility, creating more harmonious environments, and improving quality of life in both urban and rural areas.
