2 work categories

Marking and signage works

The marking of bicycle lines and pictograms on the roadway clearly defines the bike lanes. Signage and physical elements such as bollards are sometimes added to delimit the sharing of space. This work can be completed quickly: from a few days to a few weeks.

Landscaping work

These larger-scale projects, for example the construction of bike paths delimited by concrete curbs, are usually combined with other sites, such as the reconstruction of drinking water and sewer lines or the redesign of a street.
