Every year in the Paris region, some 20 to 25 million tonnes of soil are excavated from construction sites. Inert excavated soil is a noble, surplus material, reused by ECT to create development projects that benefit the local area. Where does the land come from? How does ECT guarantee their origin?
An overview of three emblematic Parisian worksites and the role of ECT’s environmental technicians.
3 emblematic Paris worksites: construction begins with excavation
The Triangle Tower – Paris 15 | The 15th arrondissement of Paris continues its major construction projects with the impressive Tour Triangle. In 2023, ECT will be supporting its customer SMTP, Société Moderne des Terrassements Parisiens, in the management and recovery of excavated soil from this large-scale project.
Le Jardin d’acclimatation – Paris 16 | On the edge of the Bois de Boulogne, in the 16th arrondissement of Paris, the Jardin d’Acclimatation is being modernized.
