Every ECT green development project is part of an approach to environmental enhancement and biodiversity preservation. This consideration of ecological issues begins at the design stage. It must continue after the site has been restored. After renaturation and revegetation by our development teams, a management and maintenance guide is drawn up. It is then sent to the site owner. This document provides targeted recommendations to ensure that the restored environments are maintained. Handing over the guide to the site manager Preserving hedgerows and ponds to strengthen the resilience of agricultural areas in Ile-de-France December 2024 – In Roissy-en-Brie, Seine-et-Marne, ECT

ECT’s site in La Courneuve, Seine-Saint-Denis, recently obtained authorization to produce fertile substrate, an important step in our commitment to the circular economy. This project will be developed in partnership with Faiseurs de Terres, a collaboration that marks a new step forward in our approach to recycling inert soil from construction sites and supporting urban greening. Fertile substrate, a mixture of inert soil and green waste compost, represents a 100% recycled alternative to imported topsoil, helping to preserve natural resources. This process is fully in line with our strategy of reusing materials and reducing environmental impact, by giving a second

The safety of our employees is a priority. In partnership with Placo®/ Saint Gobain, a safety gantry has been installed at the site in Bernouille (93). This device, a key element of our QSE (Quality, Safety, Environment) approach, serves as a reminder of the career instructions to be followed on site. The key idea is Vigilance = Safety. On this gantry, several points of vigilance are highlighted to ensure collective safety : ✔️ Compulsory PPE : Wearing personal protective equipment is an essential requirement for all on-site workers. Everyone must wear their own PPE to guarantee optimum protection. ✔️ Specific

At the invitation of the town hall, ECT teams met with pupils from Léon Blum elementary school to introduce them to sustainable development and biodiversity. Schoolchildren, protagonists of their region 23 January 2025 –   60 students from the Léon Blum school planted 700 trees. They were actively involved in the planting of the new Chaussée Brunehaut park. Accompanied by teams from Noeux Environnement, they contributed to the planting of the park, which will include almost 1,500 trees. Wearing aprons and equipped with shovels, the children planted bare-root seedlings. This initiative also gave them a better understanding of ecological environments and biodiversity. 

From environmental technician to increasing responsibilities with our customers on the Grand Paris Express construction sites, Mohammed Bouftass shares his career path and his vision of his job, between fieldwork, innovation and management. Is managing soil disposal for the Grand-Paris Express a different experience from other construction sites? The management of excavated soil from the Grand-Paris Express project differs from other construction sites in that it is more complex. Indeed, our customers produce considerable volumes of earth from stations, trenches, ancillary structures and tunnels. These materials come from different geological layers, sometimes very deep. These materials need to be carefully

At the invitation of the Buchelay (78) town council, ECT teams went to meet pupils at Pierre Larousse elementary school as part of an introduction to sustainable development and biodiversity. An afternoon in December, focusing on the circular economy This afternoon was an opportunity for ECT to raise students’ awareness of the issues involved in the circular economy of excavated soil from urban construction sites. With a very local example : the development of a new park in Buchelay, located behind the Plaine des Sports Grigore-Obreja. Once the soil has been brought in, the park will be landscaped and fitted

Since summer 2024, excavated soil from the construction sites of our partners – Varet Environnement, Verrier et Fils, Métropole TP, Lherbier and Briqueteries du Nord – has been helping to transform the landscape at the foot of terril 49 in Mazingarbe. The soil comes from construction sites within a 22 km radius, and is part of a circular economy. The soil is used to create an urban forest, a seed orchard and a reprofiled agricultural area, while at the same time combating the invasion of Giant Hogweed, a plant that is dangerous for local biodiversity. The traceability of inert soil

In partnership with Sibelco, ECT opens a new site in Oise (60) The Sibelco quarry in Crépy-en-Valois opens its doors to receive inert soil from construction sites. The purpose of the site is to secure and develop the open-cast quarry. Following major development work carried out by ECT, the site has been ready to receive the first inputs since early November. Facilities designed to welcome our construction customers  Safe access to the site : creation of a left turn onto the main road and a dedicated access lane to facilitate and maintain traffic flow.
