2 electric bulldozers to reduce the carbon footprint of land reception and earthworks at ECT sites. How to reduce the carbon footprint of ECT sites?  A first step in our decarbonization trajectory has been taken with the Bergerat-Monnoyeur company. ECT has acquired two Cat D6XE bulldozers. This model is the first electric-powered bulldozer with elevated transmission. This new technology optimizes and regulates internal combustion engine speed: the power calls, fuel consumption peaks, are just some of the benefits that managed by an electric hydraulic boost. The target for reducingCO₂emissions is 20%. These machines are also characterized by their ease of use. for

Soil reception conditions Between June 2020 and April 2021, ECT received soil from its Villeneuve-sous-Dammartin (77) and Annet-sur-Marne (77) sites that complied with the regulations but was potentially pyritiferous. The soil came from the excavation of the Grand Paris Express metro lines. Since 2021, ECT has been in contact with the Prefecture of Seine-et-Marne, the Ministry of the Environment and BRGM. These discussions validated ECT’s approach to risk management and analysis methodology. Two prefectoral decrees issued in July 2022 set out the procedures, controls and analyses carried out by ECT. They are planning two annual survey campaigns. What is pollution

A partnership for soil fertility: On Friday September 23, Laurent Mogno, President of ECT, and Léon Garaix, Director of Ecole Du Breuil, officially signed a partnership agreement between Ecole Du Breuil and ECT. This partnership has been operationally active since the beginning of 2022. We are proud to be a partner of this magnificent school of the City of Paris which for over 150 years has been home to one of the largest urban horticultural estates devoted entirely to teaching. In particular, this partnership aims to help develop specific expertise in soil-related issues. And enable BPREA students to testfertile substrate

The 2nd phase of the project is off to a flying start At the Boissy/Puiseux site, the 14,000 m3 of illegal waste were removed before the summer. Stage 2: agricultural and ecological restoration. The site is now open to inert soils which will be used to carry out the development work. The project is scheduled for completion in 2024. Find out more about the project

ECT opens a new site in Yvelines, in Porcheville (78). The purpose of this site is to secure and enhance the southern entrance to the Porcheville leisure park in order to improve the residential environment and offer a new place for relaxation and leisure. The new space offers a variety of features: a belvedere, offering a 180° view of the surrounding area and the leisure park two planted tiers overlooking the children’s play area. two anti-intrusion gates, to secure the entrance to this new space To find out more about the project, see the flyer, byclicking here Access to the

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact your sales representative.

A project in partnership with the EPF Hauts-de-France, which supports a wide range of recycling and reuse initiatives. Creating an urban forest from excavated construction soil The renaturation of the site is possible thanks to the application of the principle of the circular economy of inert soils. By reusing excavated soil from local construction sites, this wasteland can be rehabilitated and transformed. Renaturation and planting operations are financed by ECT through the contribution of excavated soil. Recycling for biodiversity On the site, abandoned nozzles will be reused: they will become a habitat for hibernating bats. Sand brought in from the

ECT enters into a sponsorship agreement with the Muséum National d’Histoire Naturelle. The aim of this sponsorship is to create a systematic map of “the biodiversity of reworked soils”. A systematic map is a bibliographical synthesis intended for operational research players. This practice is currently booming in the field of ecology, and is strongly recommended by the Fondation pour la Recherche sur la Biodiversité(FRB). This is an unprecedented approach to the issue of reworked soils. The PatriNat unit, under the aegis of the Muséum National d’Histoire Naturelle, will draw up an overview of available scientific studies. And list documented best

ECT puts its expertise to work for its construction customers As a major player in the recovery of excavated soil from the construction industry, ECT offers to support its customers – earthworkers, transporters and project owners – in complying with new traceability obligations. In particular, when it comes to establishing and filling in their numerical and chronological registers. This support takes the form of webinars, methodological brochures and the dematerialization of our exchanges with our customers. enhanced traceability of excavated soil the anti-waste and circular economy law (agec) The February 2020 Anti-Waste and Circular Economy Act (AGEC) strengthens traceability arrangements
