Efficient local solutions for the management and recovery of polluted excavated material
Discover the Valorterre Normandie Platform
Located in the Calvados department (14), the Blainville-sur-Orne platform is specialized in the management of polluted soil and inert materials.
Located in the Port of Caen, the platform has a surface area of 8,000 m2 and offers a transit capacity of 80,000 t/year. The center is equipped with a quay that allows it to unload and load barges directly and to ensure the river transport of soil before and after treatment. The platform has a permit for cross-border transport to recovery facilities.
The Blainville-sur-Orne platform can handle all of your excavated material thanks to the implementation of a wide range of treatment techniques: granulometric sorting and biological, physical-chemical and thermal treatments.
The agency's expertise
Non-impacted materials, or those that cannot be treated on site, are grouped together and directed towards ad hoc external channels (recovery and/or treatment).
Biological degradation (with or without stimulation) is achieved by conditioning and placing the excavated soil in a biopile or biotank. The control of chemical, physical and biological parameters creates a favorable environment for the development of micro-organisms that will eliminate the organic pollutants.
Taking charge of the complete cycle of treatment of polluted materials until their final recovery, our teams ensure their traceability in the greatest respect of the regulatory and environmental requirements:
- Installation Classified for the Protection of the Environment (ICPE) AP of 12/01/2017 and APC of 24/01/2018
- Acceptance procedure: Waste identification sheet (FID), Prior Acceptance Certificate (CAP)
- Traceability of materials (BSD, weighing, register…)
- Autonomous weighing on site by weighbridge with follow-up software for the traceability of the receptions
- Soil, stone and gravel (including excavated material from contaminated sites)
- Solid waste and sludge from soil and groundwater decontamination
- Track ballast
- Sludge from oil separators
- Dredging sludge
waste from grit removal - Waste from sewer cleaning (networks and stormwater management structures)
- Green waste
