The Boisset public works group creates a new eco-responsible coating industry

The Qualirain® drainage coating solution developed by Qualis® Technologie can be used to carry out all types of light permeable road works, cycle paths, greenways, Oasis playgrounds, around swimming pools, islets, sidewalks and surrounding green spaces. which allow water to pass through for its return to the water table.

Subsidized up to 70% by the Rhône Méditerranée Corse Water Agency for the removal of waterproofing from surfaces, the Qualirain® draining coating solution is particularly suitable for communities and is soon intended for distribution to supermarkets and garden centers. and DIY stores for home use, thanks to its ease of application.

It is to the 3rd generation, composed of Nicolas Boisset and Thomas Boisset that Luc Boisset entrusts the deployment of Qualis®Technologie, whose solutions are already applied in several municipalities of Drôme and Ardèche, but also in Lyon and the Metropolis of Bordeaux.

The ecological applications of Qualirain®: playgrounds, cemeteries, roof top ...

Made up of a mixture of natural aggregates and organo-mineral binder, the Qualirain® solution filters more than 325 liters of water / min / m² and allows it to return to the earth.

"We have created a recyclable material with an infinite life cycle thanks to the patented use of an organo-mineral aqueous binder, which, combined with dye-free aggregates, makes it possible to create landscapes with the satisfaction of respecting our environment" Luc Boisset, CEO of the Boisset Group.

Qualis® Technology applications are suitable for areas where people with reduced mobility are able to move around, pedestrian paths, the surroundings of buildings, pedestrian areas and bicycle parking lots, but also school, college, high school and university yards, hospitals, standpipes, areas. delivery and garage access routes for light vehicles ...

Playgrounds

"With global warming, the development of Oasis playgrounds designed as islands of freshness including more vegetation, better management of rainwater and water points, draining and clear coverings, educational gardens ... will be generalized to improve the well-being of children. We are ready ! " emphasizes Nicolas Boisset, Qualis® Technology sales director.

Any establishment open to the public could in the short term become islands of freshness for vulnerable people during heat waves ... The use of light colors makes it possible to fight against heat islands in the city as in playgrounds and play areas on motorway areas.

“Our coating also contributes to improving acoustic comfort because it absorbs the sound of footsteps! Without solvent and without emanation of heat, its cold application does not emit toxic vapors and respects the health of our companions and applicators ” specifies Thomas BOISSET, Works Director of the Boisset Group.

Cemeteries

With the particularity of spreading out by hand, Qualirain® is suitable for sensitive areas where the use of compaction equipment is excluded, such as in cemeteries where basements, hollow and fragile, do not tolerate vibrations. The risks of collapse are then limited, in addition to the disappearance of puddles and weeding operations

Hydro-active roof top

Lightweight, the Qualirain® solution also allows the creation of pedestrian circulation on the roofs which become hydro-active with the capacity to store, irrigate and regulate rainwater. In addition, the use of the organo-mineral aqueous binder allows the reuse of rainwater.

Improve the habitat and the living environment of the inhabitants

Benefits

Reduction in the size and cost of sites, small packaging, end of full-ground watering, fight against heat islands, zero hardship ... Thanks to the return of water to the earth, Qualis technologies solutions make it possible to reduce the size and cost of construction sites due to the use of small diameter drain pipes, and sometimes even the complete elimination of pipes. By applying it by hand, nuisance for local residents is reduced;

“Our solutions improve the habitat and the living environment of the inhabitants. They make it possible to fight against heat islands by using an alternative solution to bitumen and also to absorb noise by ventilating the coating. They also make it possible to design new city centers and respond to the challenges of new mobility by allowing a lot of freedom with the disappearance of gutters and sidewalks, or even the creation of new signage on the ground by identifiable zones according to the color of the aggregates ... " Luc Boisset, CEO Boisset Group

Ready to use and delivered in small packages with the QualiBox, Qualis Technologie solutions fear neither salt nor frost. They prevent the appearance of weeds, weeding operations and therefore the use of weedkiller;

Zero phyto, zero pain, zero toxic emanation, zero heat, zero vibration during application ... and washing tools with water, the solutions are suitable for use in private gardens; They also make it possible to reduce watering in the ground and save water.

The BOISSET group: a family-owned public works company focused on the environment and innovation

The arrival in September and October 2020 of the 3rd generation makes it possible to envisage numerous deployments, thanks to the new dynamic brought about by Nicolas Boisset, holder of a BTS in Negotiation and Client Relations and of a Master in Commerce, passed in work-study program, and Thomas Boisset, graduate of the CESI engineering school in Montpellier with 5 years of work management experience in Grenoble, under the leadership of their father Luc Boisset who took over in 1991 the family business created in 1967 by René Boisset.

The opportunity for the company based in Chanos-Curson (26) specializing in wet networks and earthworks - with a quarrying & recycling activity of construction materials acquired in 1999 and then sold in 2014 -, to develop in the field of construction. innovation. With the particularity of mastering the technique of quicklime for treating clay in inert materials, the Boisset group received the innovation prize in 2007.

Since then, the "channel fiber" company has worked tirelessly, first alone with its network of engineers and "Géo Trouvetou researchers", then with the INDURA Cluster of infrastructures and sustainable development, the CERIB (Center of studies and research in the concrete industry) and CEREMA (Center for studies and expertise on risks, the environment, mobility and planning), to the development of new processes more respectful of the environment. environment and the mastery of natural resources, until the discovery of the organo-mineral binder. Qualis® Technologie was born in June 2018, after 5 years of good and loyal service from Boisset Aménagement, the innovation branch of the group created by Luc Boisset.
