Soil, risks & QHSE management
Integrated soil management
Preserving soil quality in your real estate and industrial development projects.
Soil is not an inert material. It is a precious resource that provides essential ecological, social, and economic functions, which are extremely difficult to restore once degraded.
Development projects exert increasing pressure on soils, exposing them to various threats: pollution, erosion, compaction, and artificialization. Regional authorities have implemented tools and measures to assess and preserve their quality.
ABV Development helps its clients integrate soil preservation issues from the design stage of their projects, by conducting the necessary assessments and proposing adapted recommendations.
Soil quality assessment tools by region
In Brussels, Brussels Environment has developed the Good Soilstrategy. As part of this initiative, theIQSB-PRO is a tool for professionals looking to incorporate soil qualityinto their project design. It allows for the assessment of soil quality through testing and laboratory analysis.
In Wallonia, the Walloon Soil Quality Index (IQSW) is a diagnostic tool for soil quality, designed to guide land use in accordance with its current state. It aims in particular to improve the "soil" component of environmental impact assessments (EIA) or environmental impactreports (EIR).
