In Belgium, the regulations governing the management of excavated soil vary from one region to another. Anticipating these requirements during the design phase helps avoid complications and reduces costs.

Whenever your project involves earthworks, certain obligations apply to detect potential pollution, preserve the environment, and prevent the displacement of contaminated soil or soil containing invasive plants. These requirements apply in the Walloon Region, Brussels, and Flanders, under distinct regulatory frameworks.

ABV Development, an accredited consulting firm in the three Belgian regions, supports you from soil assessment to report submission and administrative follow-up.
