Soil quality study for the re-meandering of the Eau Blanche

The mission: restoring the meanders of the Eau Blanche

The Eau Blanche, a first-category watercourse winding through a meadow near a nature reserve, is being returned to its original form: a beautifully meandering river, as nature intended. The re-meandering project covers approximately 2 kilometres of the watercourse. More than 22,500 m³ of soil must be excavated at depths ranging from 2 to 3 metres.

Context and objectives

This project aims to restore approximately 2 kilometres of the Eau Blanche, a first-category watercourse located in a meadow near a nature reserve. The works involve the excavation of 22,500 m³ of soil at a depth of 2 to 3 metres.

Our mission

The non-profit organisation Natagora called upon ABV Development to produce the Soil Quality Report #SQR required for the removal of the excavated soil.

Our services included:

• Administrative preparation of the investigations.
• Sample collection via a registered sampler.
• Analysis of samples by an accredited laboratory.
• Comparison of results against legal standards.
• Drafting of the SQR to obtain the Soil Quality Control Certificate (SQCC) issued by the non-profit Walterre.
