Managing and recycling excavated soil from the construction industry

The most comprehensive offer for the management and recovery of soil from construction sites

ECT, France’s leading construction and public works company, offers its customers a complete solution for managing all materials, cuttings and excavated soil from their urban construction sites: inert soil / polluted soil.

 

Our offer to the construction industry covers the entire value chain of excavated material management: from characterization to reclamation on our development sites. And is in line with the principles of a circular materials economy.

Materials reception, treatment and implementation

ECT’s network of sites means it is close to excavation sites, so evacuation can be carried out more quickly and at lower cost.

Directly operated by ECT

Soil and inert materials, K3, K3+, TS, TBM soil, rubble, UDTM, hydrocarbon-polluted soil

Other intermediary outlets

Polluted land, K1, K2, incineration, thermal desorption, platform

Excavation sites: inert soil, polluted soil

Characterization

Prior characterization of the worksite enables the soil to be recycled. This characterization is based on chemical analyses of the soil on the site. For inert soils, the Preliminary Acceptance Declaration for each site opened by the earthworker with ECT validates this characterization.

Putting into dies

  • Inert soil is channelled to ECT’s reclamation sites and used to create non-built developments.
  • The hydrocarbon-polluted soil is treated at our biological treatment center in La Courneuve (93).
  • All other types of polluted soils are managed by intermediaries

Recovering inert soil from construction sites :
green, agricultural or leisure facilities

Our business is part of a circular economy for building and civil engineering soils. The vast majority of our outlets are sites for the recovery and reuse of construction site soil. In this way, our sites offer a quality service to the construction and public works sector, and contribute to improving the quality of life in the areas where they are located.

The reuse of inert urban soils enables the realization of numerous non-built environmental projects: creation of parks, areas dedicated to biodiversity, reforestation zones and urban forests, creation of sports and leisure areas, golf courses, photovoltaic farms, return of land to agriculture, etc.

Particularly well established in the Ile-de-France region, our range of outlets enables us to control our environmental footprint through a highly efficient network of sites close to construction sites. ECT is also present in the Hauts-de-France region and is developing projects in other parts of France.

Recovering excavated soil from construction sites: securing active quarries

ECT also manages the backfilling of active underground and open-cast quarries.

ECT’s construction of external unloading platforms eliminates the need for underground unloading. This equipment makes land reception safer and saves our customers a great deal of time.

Your most frequently asked questions

ECT is France’s leading specialist in the management of construction site excavated material and its use in useful and environmental developments.  Our sites are mainly in the Ile-de-France and Hauts-de-France regions.

ECT offers its customers the opportunity to recycle excavated materials, either for landscaping (green, sports or agricultural projects) or to backfill quarries (to secure them).

Upstream of soil acceptance, we offer you all the environmental engineering services you need to dispose of construction site soil:

  • site characterization
  • recycling of excavated materials
  • traceability chain implementation
  • DAP management
  • transmission for chronological and RNDTS registers

Every construction or public works site is unique. Your needs are specific, depending on the materials to be evacuated, the site location and your deadlines.

ECT also manages a biological treatment center for hydrocarbon-polluted soil. This center is located in La Courneuve (93).

Other types of polluted materials will be disposed of in appropriate landfills accepting this type of soil. ECT’s “Environment / Excavated Soil Management” department provides customers with an efficient response to their need for environmental engineering and traceability in the construction industry. The department’s expertise enables it to characterize all the treatment processes required for different types of excavated soil (class 2, class 3), applying the required traceability procedure to each type.
