The “Faiseurs de Terre” group is rolling out its 100% recycled, local and socially responsible fertile substrate demonstrator. It’s happening on the Lil’Ô site in L’Île-Saint-Denis (93). This is where the “Earth Makers” deploy their fertile substrate demonstrator. The consortium includes Neo-Eco, Halage and ECT. It develops a pooling of skills and resources. The aim was to validate the manufacturing process for a new fertile substrate. A growing medium made entirely of recycled products: inert soil, crushed concrete and green waste compost. The conviction of “Les Faiseurs de Terre” is that this fertile, recycled, local and supportive substrate should become

On September 29, Akuo and ECT inaugurated the “Les Gabots” solar power plant in Annet sur Marne (77). The plant comprises 44,000 solar panels, spread over 19 hectares of former ECT landfill. This makes it one of the two largest photovoltaic ENR production sites in the Paris region. Its power, equivalent to the electricity needs of 3,700 households, transforms Annet-sur-Marne into a positive green energy town. “Seine-et-Marne : une centrale de 44 000 panneaux solaires sur un ancien remblai” – Article by Hendrick Delaire, dated September 29, 2020 Read the article “Ile-de-France solar power rises in the east” – Article

ECT boosts the re-use of its inert soil. The company provides communities with undeveloped landscaping using excavated soil. And since 2019, it has initiated a process to manufacture a 100% recycled fertile substrate: Urbafertil. This pure recycling product is made from a mixture of inert soil and green waste compost. It’s a pertinent illustration of the circular economy of soil from construction and civil engineering projects for the greening of urban spaces. With well-known benefits for : climate, the creation of cool islands, soil permeability for rainwater, and for biodiversity. This technosol is a technical, ecological and economical alternative to

At La Courneuve, the ECT center for the biological treatment of hydrocarbon-impacted soil was inaugurated 3 years ago. The first and only indoor facility of its kind in France, the center can now process 180,000 tonnes of impacted soil every year. It regularly attracts media and expert interest. An overview of recent visits. August 2020, Cayola Construction Journalist Charlotte Divet has an article entitled “Grand Paris, a covered center to decontaminate 180,000 tons of soil a year” and a comprehensive video report on the operation of the center for treating soil polluted with hydrocarbons.

A mountain bike and trial bike stadium, the only one of its kind in the Paris region, to be built in 3 months, between June and October 2020. On June 15, ECT announced the opening of a new site for the recovery of excavated inert soil in the Yvelines department, more precisely in the commune of Epône. And so the project, supported by the town council, was launched. And so began ECT’s development of the first trial bike and mountain bike site in the Ile-de-France region, on communal land. Three months later, we take a look back at a project

On July 27, 2020, ECT opens a new site in Seine-et-Marne, at Roissy-en-Brie (77). The purpose of adding soil to this site is to restore the agronomic quality of an agricultural plot. The work will take 2 years to complete. To access the Roissy-en-Brie site, you need to be validated by ECT’s Reservations department. The site is equipped with scanners to read ECT e-vouchers for unloading, as part of our contactless approach to full dematerialization. Consult site access conditions

A site to rehabilitate In Roissy-en-Brie (77), ECT opens a new site on July 27. The purpose of reusing excavated soil is to restore and preserve a degraded agricultural environment. Prior to this, ECT cleaned the site of waste materials. The aim of this development is to restore vitality to the land. It will create an agricultural plateau and areas dedicated to biodiversity. Preserving and enhancing an agricultural environment The aim is to return the plots to their agricultural vocation. To achieve this, we need to restore the agronomic quality of the land. Rehabilitation therefore requires appropriate levelling to create

In the commune of Epône (78), ECT collaborated with the ORC Epône cycling club on this project to build the first stadium in Ile-de-France dedicated to trials and mountain biking. The club has over 70 members. He is involved in several disciplines (MTB Cross-Country, Trials, Cyclo-cross, Adult Randonnée Sportive). The ORC has been awarded the “École de Vélo” and “Club de Compétition” labels by the French Cycling Federation (FFC). 4 questions to ORC Epône , President Franck Prestat and Vice-President Philippe Gaudens. Introduce us to the trial and mountain bike disciplines? Trial riding is done on a special bike (without

In the June 2020 issue of Le Moniteur, Laurent MIGUET devotes a special report to “climate change, disrupting the way cities are built”. The article “Un technosol fertile sur le parvis du château de Vincennes” is the 3rd step in this dossier. An 11,200 m² meadow will grow on the technosol produced by ECT, in place of the old parking lots. “The city’s air conditioning depends on fertilizing its technosols. The greening of the esplanade Saint-Louis, in front of the Château de Vincennes in Paris, supports this rule of urban metabolism. To transform a parking lot into a meadow, the
