Building a fresh future for polluted sites

in partnership with

core activities

together, we neutralize pollution to Build the future

We offer remediation solutions for operational sites and management of pollution seepage so you can undertake your construction projects on safe ground.

for more than 10 years, sol environment has been working for the good of the environment and its clients, by giving polluted sites a fresh future.

the ground is a resource that should Be preserved

Our services allow former industrial sites on the periphery of urban areas to be reused, thereby preserving the rural environment. By protecting the balance between urban and rural spaces, we are contributing to the local ecology.

A subsidiary of the soil specialists Soletanche Bachy and Menard, we employ innovative treatment procedures on site or without excavation. This limits off-site movement of polluted material, which can be costly from both a financial and environmental point of view.

Since we are part of the French construction group VINCI, you benefit from an integrated approach, from demolition through to the delivery of ready-to-use platforms.

The decontamination of industrial sites is a major challenge for the previous user of a site, and for its future user, especially in terms of remedial costs and time schedules. Thanks to a wide range of remediation solutions, we can design and implement responses adapted to the constraints of your project. At our laboratory, we test and scale solutions, thus reducing the technical uncertainties.

We offer 360°, turnkey solutions: Demolition, remediation, decontamination, and geotechnical improvement to deliver platforms ready for construction, as part of the global delivery of reconversion projects.

services for construction sites

With increasingly dense urban environments, construction companies regularly have to deal with pollution of soils and groundwater, which, during the construction phase, can have an impact on: • Pumped groundwater • Excavated soil • Site slurry • The local environment, in terms of odors

and dust

We make our expertise available to you to deal with these issues, advising you on the best strategies to adopt.

• Operational solutions based on results• Modular treatment units designed for

each site• Connected systems allowing reliable

monitoring

Industrial activities may generate on-site effluents and slurries that must be treated and removed. We facilitate industrial processes by handling:• cleaning of slurry tanks and ponds• treatment of effluents• dewatering slurries as a continual process• on-site pre-treatment of slurries or waste

We meet all the necessary safety and quality standards: LNE Polluted Sites and Soils, MASE, OHSAS 18001, and we can rely on a team of engineers and project managers with full knowledge of the regulations governing SEVESO II sites.

health, safetY, environment

As a responsible company, we put health, safety and the environment at the heart of our concerns.

Our objective is zero accidents, so our safety policy is built on the commitment of both management and every employee towards a profound change in behavior.

On our sites, we regularly monitor the level of pollutants in the air to check that it is in line with collective and individual protective measures to preserve the health of our staff and of all the stakeholders involved.

Sol Environment has OHSAS 18001 and MASE certification. OHSAS 18001:2007

engineering solutions

We have a team of highly qualified, multi-disciplinary engineers to provide state-of-the-art expertise in: • The analysis of problems• Designing the best treatment

strategies • Laboratory testing• Digital simulations• Implementation of the recommended

solutions

The choice of treatment solution is dictated by the expected outcomes for each approach: Chemical, biological, physical, thermal. It also takes into account the costs and associated technical and financial considerations, along with hygiene and safety issues.

innovation and research & development

We invest heavily in the area of innovation. Either as part of our in-house research, or in collaboration with our main partners, our R&D program involves: • the continual quest for new procedures capable

of degrading, neutralizing, or extracting pollutants • the improvement of techniques and materials used

to enhance pollutant-reagent contact, which is the key to the success of any treatment

We have a unique portfolio of proprietary expertise and patents.
