Urban Soil Rehabilitation

Limiting urban sprawl and facilitating urban renewal

Soil has long been considered an unimportant asset and urban development has often led to an excessive consumption and repeated degradation of this non-renewable resource. Faced with ever-increasing land pressure and the need to limit urban sprawl, the regeneration of brownfields and urban wastelands is of prime importance for the development of low-carbon urban areas. A greener use of urban soil must therefore take into account ecosystem services and the planned land uses, to develop soil assets sustainably.

We work with public and private clients to rehabilitate and restore the functions of soil by combining our complementary expertise. Our solutions focus on improving soil quality to make it compatible with its intended use, both from a sanitary and a technical aspect, and promoting a local and sustainable approach for soil reuse and recovery. Thus, depending on the specific situation, rehabilitation can consist in preserving or amending, modifying, or even substituting the soil for another material, so that it can fulfil its agricultural, sanitary and/or ecological functions.

We provide our services at the various project stages: diagnostic assessments, technical studies (sanitary risk assessment, management plan, EMI, material recovery, agronomic potential, etc.) - regulatory studies - monitoring - control - technical assistance - project management - site closure (SIC, mines and quarries).
