A partnership agreement has been signed between the École nationale supérieure de paysage de Versailles and ECT, paving the way for a new “Landscape and Landscape” corporate chair. ENSP Director Vincent Piveteau and ECT President Laurent Mogno, signatories of the agreement, wanted to strengthen a collaboration initiated in 2017. ECT has joined forces with ENSP to support a multi-year research-action program, the forerunner of a new corporate chair dedicated to land and landscape issues. The partnership between ENSP and ECT stems from a simple fact: every year, some 15 million cubic metres of soil are excavated in the Paris region

On October 23, 2018, EIVP, Ecole des Ingénieurs de la Ville de Paris, Grande Ecole of Urban Engineering, and ECT, a leading company in high value-added development in territories through the reclamation of backfill and excavated soil, signed an agreement. sponsorship agreement marks an important stage in their close collaboration. The 2-year partnership covers creation of a dedicated teaching and research chair recycling soil from urban construction sites. This interdisciplinary chair will focus on training and research into the reuse of soil from building sites and excavation work in large urban areas. In particular, this reuse can take shape as

This is the vision of “a new model of global metropolis” developed by Roland Castro in the report submitted to the French President. One of our ambitions is to extend Paris beyond its historical boundaries, while building a “metropolitan oasis”. This is the background to architect and urban planner Antoine Grumbach’s contribution, in which he asserts that “ inert soils are a material of the circular economy” and that their reuse is one of the challenges of a concerted development of “Greater Paris”. As a major player in the reuse of inert soil, ECT is fully committed to this approach.

5 very interested and impressed ECT Environment Department employees visited the tunnel boring machine (TBM) on lot 1 of Line 14, guided by teams from Razel-Bec and Eiffage, the civil engineering contractors for this first 3.6 km section extending Line 14 from Saint-Lazare to Porte de Clichy. Excavated soil from the TBM is managed by ECT.
