Description

As part of the conversion of a former military bastion into an urban district, located on the former Chanzy barracks in Châlons-En-Champagne (51), the Châlons Agglo Urban Community wanted expert advice on issues relating to the quality of the soil in place and its potential for reuse as part of the future uses planned for the project, in order to meet a circular economy challenge. The aim was to gain an overall view of the soil resources within the study site, so as to significantly reduce, if not totally eliminate, the need for topsoil for the creation of future green spaces, by reusing in situ the soil already present on the site.

Impact & Result

By reusing soil on site, the project has avoided tonnes of CO₂eq emissions and reduced waste and resource extraction. From an economic point of view, it has saved several hundred thousand euros in transport and soil disposal costs. The solution offers a high return on investment while supporting circular economy and biodiversity objectives.
