“Inert soil to create an urban park”, an article by Franck Boittiaux of Mat Environnement

At the heart of the action, on the Moissy-Cramayel site in Seine-et-Marne (77), Laurent Mogno, President of ECT, met Franck Boittiaux from Mat Environnement (Construction Cayola group).

The meeting offered the journalist an opportunity to visit the new planted promenade and arboretum, which will be inaugurated in June 2019. And to show him around the summit plateau, which will continue to receive soil from neighboring construction sites for several months to come.

It was also an opportunity to explain the different ECT professions:

  • manager of excavated soil on behalf of its construction and public works customers
  • designer of projects reusing inert soil for environmental development.

Earthworks require a wide range of skills on the part of ECT’s teams, as well as mastery of several types of site machinery. In fact, there are several phases in the development process:

  • land reception and traceability management
  • earthworks using inert soil
  • shaping the mounds of the urban park
  • creating routes and paths
  • topsoil for green areas
  • plantings: orchards, arboretum, planted hedges,
