The redevelopment of former industrial sites is a major challenge facing site owners and spatial planning decision makers. Sol environment has major assets in the field thanks to its “on-site”-oriented specialty areas and its ability to formulate all-inclusive offers.

National guidelines for polluted sites and soils management insists on removal of pollution sources as a priority of management plans. But these hotspots are sometimes found directly underneath existing infrastructures. Sol environment implements retaining solutions to ensure stability of nearby structures during complex excavations.

Former industrial sites often involve pollution transfer through groundwater. In these cases, removal or control of the sources is insufficient and action on groundwater flow is required. Sol environment designs and implements tailor-made solutions in this area, based on its signature techniques and 20 years of project experience in France and worldwide.

Industrial ponds use up a lot of space and become saturated in the course of time. Their long-lasting utilization requires periodic dredging or implementing appropriate in-situ treatments as well as ensuring over time that dikes are stable and watertight.
