3 questions to Olivier Stehlin, Mayor of Iverny The project led by Iverny town council and ECT offers a new 8700 m² communal space, built around a tree-lined promenade with over 800 trees and a fitness trail with 8 different apparatus. A look back at the project, which will be completed this summer 2021, in a short space of time, with access to the site regulated and mandatory to generate as little nuisance as possible in the village. How did this healthcare pathway come about? At the western end of the village, we had an old soccer pitch. There had

ECT assesses the environmental and social footprint of projects with a new tool As part of its environmental approach, ECT has adopted an indicator for the design and construction of its sites. This indicator enables us to assess the environmental and social impact of our non-built development projects using soil from construction sites. The assessment methodology was developed through the involvement of all the company’s departments. And with the support  of experts (sociologist, ecologist, farmer, acoustician, etc.) to guarantee a high level of method robustness. A 15-indicator evaluation  The 15 indicators cover a wide range of ESG issues. Dnvironmental issues

Interview with Eddie Farcy-Jirot, ecologist with the Ile-de-France Roads Authority (DiRIF) The Common Buzzard is a bird with big yellow eyes and a shrill cry. This migratory bird is a protected species in Europe. It is on the global and European red lists of threatened species. The Direction des Routes d’Ile-de-France and ECT have been working together for several years to establish a sanctuary compensation zone for this bird. How? By creating a favorable environment for the bird to establish itself. Where can we help? on ECT’s excavated soil reclamation site at Villeneuve sous Dammartin (77). Précédent Suivant What is

Site clean-up, a key step in healing the landscape In Boissy l’Aillerie and Puiseux Pontoise, in the Val d’Oise, clean-up operations have begun. This is an essential step in moving on to the landscape restructuring phase. Disposal of the 14,000 m3 of waste began at the end of January 2022. This should take between 4 and 6 months. ECT covers the cost of disposal and treatment. A look back at the creation of one of the largest unauthorized landfills in the Paris region December 4, 2017: Start of illegal land occupation and intensive illegal dumping activities.

Urban forest in Lens: 3 questions for EPF Hauts-de-France In the commune of Lens (62), the urban forest project has been taking shape since September 2021. This project, led by EPF Hauts-de-France, also involves the City of Lens and the Lens-Liévin Conurbation Community, in conjunction with the Hauts-de-France Region through the Regional Forestry Plan. EPF Hauts-de-France is represented by Guillaume Lemoine, in charge of development and biodiversity/ecological engineering. Tell us about EPF Hauts-de-France? EPF Nord-Pas-de-Calais was set up in 1990 to redevelop mining and industrial wastelands. The region was hard hit by the coal, metal and textile crises. A state-owned

“On Saint Catherine’s Day, everything takes root”. On the former industrial site on avenue Van Pelt in Lens (62), children from the Emile Basly school planted around a hundred trees. These trees will be the first to form the future urban forest. This renaturation and awareness-raising initiative is part of the Festival de l’Arbre, organized by Lens town council and EPF Hauts-de-France. This event is a symbol of the transformation of this wasteland into an urban forest. Renaturalizing a wasteland to create the future urban forest The rehabilitation of the former Van Pelt industrial site, managed by the EPF des

In partnership with Mag Journal 77 magazine, every month for the past year, ECT employees and partners have taken the floor. A great way to discover the company and its various areas of expertise. Through the testimonies of the men and women who work there. And also by meeting our partners in the field. Soil traceability, a major challenge for ECT and its customers Our sites are developed using soil from construction sites. Characterizing and controlling the land is the first step in development. Beforehand, Alexandre checks and validates the origin of the soil and the layout of the earthworks.

As part of its partnership with Astredhor Seine-Manche, ECT visited the Saint-Germain-en-Laye plant. The current experiment analyses different plots, vegetated with topsoil or fertile substrates produced by ECT . The protocol analyzes the development of perennials and lawns.  3 three types of fertile substrates were tested: marl-limestone, silty-clay and sandy-loam. This visit was an opportunity  to take stock of the situation. Initial results on different types of fertile substrate appear to be quite conclusive.

At the former ECT site in Louvres, the corn harvest went well. After finalizing the inert soils used to rehabilitate the site, ECT worked to reconstitute the top layer of the agricultural horizon. This necessitated reworking and resealing the topsoil stripped at the start of the rise. To recultivate the land, and despite very wet weather at the beginning of May, the farmer was able to sow corn. 6 months later, in October under threatening skies, the corn harvest was successfully completed. Here is the farmer’s feedback on this first harvest “To appreciate the quality of a harvest, we need
