Reopening of the ECT site in Chevannes (91)

9 mars 2022

Development of the equestrian sports centre by reusing excavated soil

As of Monday, February 28, the ECT site located in Chevannes (91- Essonne) reopened its doors to the inflow of excavated soil from construction sites. The excavated soil from the sites in the south of Ile-de-France will be used to create the shapes and slopes required for dressage, training and cross-country competition.

An eco-designed project in line with the circular economy

On this site, the principle of the circular economy of the excavated earth allows conceiving a project that increases the commune’s attractiveness and answers the request of the future operator of the equestrian centre.

To carry out this project, ECT relies on the expertise of several partners:

  • the Essonne Departmental Riding Committee
  • the town of Chevannes (91-Essonne)
  • landscape architect Laurent Latte of CPA Conseils.

Here are 2 videos presenting this exemplary project and interviewing the stakeholders
