[Florian Martin, journalist, On The Road Again]
Hello Nicolas.
[Nicolas Cadeau, Works manager at Luc Durand]
Hello.
[Florian Martin, journalist, On The Road Again]
What is this place?Where are we here Nicolas?

Nicolas Cadeau – Works manager at Luc Durand
[Nicolas Cadeau, Works manager at Luc Durand]
Well here we’reon a logistics platformfor the Carrefour group.The logistics platformis quite impressivebecause of its size.There are 80,000 m≤ of covered buildings.
[Florian Martin, journalist, On The Road Again]
8 hectares?
[Nicolas Cadeau, Works manager at Luc Durand]
8 hectares of covered building.And of course,with all the roadsthat are also needed, namelysome 50,000 m≤ of roads.
[Florian Martin, journalist, On The Road Again]
So how many km is that? About 1.5 km running the length of the building? 300 metres wide.
[Nicolas Cadeau, Works manager at Luc Durand]
300 meters wide, yes.
[Florian Martin, journalist, On The Road Again]
So let’s say 3 or 4 km?
[Nicolas Cadeau, Works manager at Luc Durand]
Yes, in terms of straight linesit is more or less that.
[Florian Martin, journalist, On The Road Again]
That’s a lot of work!Can you show me?
[Nicolas Cadeau, Works manager at Luc Durand]
No problem, let’s go!

They are walking on a freshly laid road in another section of the platform.
[Florian Martin, journalist, On The Road Again]
So Nicolas, this surfacewas laid quite recently. It’s still somewhat sticky.
[Nicolas Cadeau, Works manager at Luc Durand]
It was done yesterday.
[Florian Martin, journalist, On The Road Again]
Yesterday?
[Nicolas Cadeau, Works manager at Luc Durand]
Yes, yesterday. Here we’re usinga BBG010 formulawith incorporation of 20% aggregateand Shell Cariphalte highway bitumen.
[Florian Martin, journalist, On The Road Again]
Why this choice?
[Nicolas Cadeau, Works manager at Luc Durand]
Because...
[Florian Martin, journalist, On The Road Again]
Will there be heavy traffic here?
[Nicolas Cadeau, Works manager at Luc Durand]
This parking lot, among other things,is a truck parking lotwith 80 spaces.With expected trafficof 350 trucks / day.All the work will be doneusing the motorway Cariphalte.Whether itís the access to the bays,the delivery roads,or the car parks. This is the product which corresponds bestto the technical constraints and needs.
[Florian Martin, journalist, On The Road Again]
On the site.

Both are standing on another part of the platform, which look like a pile of aggregates.
[Florian Martin, journalist, On The Road Again]
Can we imagine that one day, there’ll be a 100% recycled car park?
[Nicolas Cadeau, Works manager at Luc Durand]
We're totally ready! We’re ready to make formulas with 100% recycled materials. I would say that there’san expectation from the labs,the prime contractors,and the contracting authorities,
which consists of a desireto move towards construction sites using 100% recycled materials.

Both are now on another part of the platform which is a road section.
[Florian Martin, journalist, On The Road Again]
Nicolas, we are on a sectionthat is totally finished,the road markings are done.I have a question aboutthe future and innovation.Will the roads of the futurebe connected, do you think? What will they look like in 30/40 years?
[Nicolas Cadeau, Works manager at Luc Durand]
The roads of the future, are already under construction. These roads use solar panels for energy, for lighting etc.Yes, I think they will be connected.The next 30/40 years seems a bit optimistic to me!You still have to lay the surfaces.
