Groupe Saint-Léonard Expands with Precast Forte Group's EV Blocks

In a significant move towards bolstering France's electric vehicle charging infrastructure, Groupe Saint-Léonard (GSL) has announced a strategic partnership with the Precast Forte Group. This collaboration aims to introduce innovative precast foundations called EV Blocks, designed specifically for electric vehicle chargers.

Market Trends and Environmental Goals

As the demand for electric vehicle (EV) charging points continues to rise, driven by increasing adoption of electric vehicles, the partnership comes at a timely moment. The French government's initiatives aim to triple the number of EV charging stations, aligning with the country's decarbonization goals and its commitment to achieving net-zero carbon emissions by 2050. Romain Collignon, Director of SLM (a division of GSL), expressed that the introduction of EV Blocks will significantly enhance project margins and sustainability in the construction sector.

“We see a major opportunity to provide the foundational support necessary for the rapid increase in EV charging infrastructure,” Collignon remarks. “Our precast products have already proven effective in resource efficiency and labor optimization.”

Benefits of Precast Technology

The EV Blocks offer a universal, ready-to-install solution that simplifies the setup of charging stations. Known for their efficiency, these precast structures promise to minimize construction time and labor costs, creating a robust foundation that can adapt to future needs. This notable improvement is supported by the recognition and endorsement from the International Federation for Structural Concrete, solidifying the credibility of precast methods in infrastructure projects.

The proven success and adaptability of precast technology in various global markets will undoubtedly support GSL's ambitions in France. The Precast Forte Group, already active in markets such as the United States, Canada, Europe, and Australia, brings a wealth of experience and a global network that enhances the partnership’s capabilities.

Local Support and Rollout Strategy

Forte’s commitment to aiding the rollout in France includes localized marketing strategies, a strong online presence, and providing translated technical documentation. Mike Klotthor, President of the Precast Forte Group, highlighted the growing interest in EV Blocks across global markets. “France’s dedication to reaching net-zero emissions and its acceptance of precast construction symbolizes a perfect market fit,” he stated. This mutual support between the two companies signifies a meaningful step towards facilitating a sustainable future for France's transportation infrastructure.

Conclusion

As Groupe Saint-Léonard and the Precast Forte Group advance into this collaborative venture, they not only aim to enhance the infrastructure for electric vehicles but also contribute significantly to the sustainability movement in the construction industry. With innovative solutions like EV Blocks, they stand positioned at the frontier of transforming how cities approach green energy and emission reduction efforts. Together, they pave the way for a brighter and greener future, emphasizing efficiency and sustainability in the heart of France's construction endeavors.
