Project - Brussels - Belgium
The site was located in a residential area in Brussels. The pollution was caused by the leakage of a buried fuel oil tank. The tank was inerted in 2016. The soil reconnaissance study (2016) and the detailed study (2017) revealed oil pollution in the land surrounding the tank. The polluted area was mainly located in the driveway of a private house and partly under the building. It extended over an ...

Every Little Helps on the Path to Carbon Neutrality
Reversing cameras, left, right and centre mirrors … a glance over your shoulder can still be what makes that all essential difference. So too with building energy performance. It is probably best to just assume that your building has an energy performance blind spot. The next steps are to find it and then fix it. This was our approach to Tesco’s National Distribution Centre when ...
