[On the spot] Asbestos removal from a Natura 2000 site in Tours (37)

Located on the Loire in the heart of the city of Tours, the Île aux vaches is home to all the drinking water wells that supply the city. Contaminated with asbestos following renovation work carried out in 2008, the island, which is classified as a Natura 2000 site and a natural area of ecological, faunistic and floristic interest, had to undergo a particularly complex decontamination operation. Armand Debar and his teams from Séché éco-services did everything possible to filter and evacuate the asbestos cement debris while preserving the silt and sand, preserving the ecosystem and taking all the necessary safety measures for asbestos waste.
