PROTECTING THE ENVIRONMENT

Rueil-Malmaison ventilation unit

• The Duplex A86 is by nature an inconspicuous structure. The motorway runs underground to safeguard the natural heritage of the area west of Paris.

• The architectural design by landscape architect Michel Regembal blends the surface structures (interchanges, access shafts and ventilation units) into the surrounding landscape.

• Duplex A86 toll stations are coated with NOxer®, an innovative coating that eliminates the main pollutants emitted by cars by means of a chemical reaction.

• Cofiroute has begun the environmental certification process for its operating activity under the ISO 14001 standard.

Cofiroute has set up an observatory with AirParif, an independent organisation, to track air quality in the entire western part of the greater Paris area.
Spot measurements and modelling tools provide ongoing air quality monitoring.
