For over 30 years, ECT has been employing machine operators to develop its sites and carry out its projects. Today, almost 50 drivers are in operation. They work the land they receive, creating the project’s contours and shaping the future landscape.

For the jar labels, we

In this article, Aurélie Vedel, ECT’s landscaping and green spaces manager, explains her plan to combat IAS. A global biodiversity issue, a local battle for ECT Invasive alien species (IAS) are a recognized threat to natural environments, and represent the 4th leading cause of biodiversity loss worldwide.

by Mathieu NOELOperations Manager mnoel@groupe-ect.com Gone are the days when construction machinery would start up in a plume of smoke. However, digging, modelling and landscaping on our sites require the use of bulldozers, trax trucks, caterpillar excavators and articulated dumpers, all of which are sources of GHG emissions and pollution. How can we fit a decarbonization and emissions reduction trajectory into the reality of a construction site activity, with obvious budget constraints, and given the state of technological advances in both machinery and fuels? Our assessment is clear: while investment in machines has proved its energy efficiency, the search for
