[Video] 14 months of extraordinary pollution clean-up work to host the 2024 Olympic Games in Saint-Denis
October 2020, a major challenge awaits the teams of the Séché Group and its partner companies: on the Saulnier ZAC in Saint-Denis, the rehabilitation of a 26-hectare site that will house the future Olympic aquatic sports complex begins. 182,000m3 of earth to be excavated to a depth of 14m, 30,000m3 of polluted earth to be evacuated and treated… The beginnings of a titanic decontamination site, one of the largest in France, confined under huge tents in order to protect the local residents.
Wedged between a motorway and a metro line, just a stone’s throw from the Stade de France, the Saulnier ZAC is the subject of an extraordinary decontamination project. The teams of Séché Environnement and its partners are doing an exemplary job in terms of the circular economy and sustainable development for the Greater Paris Metropolis.
In total, 80% of the excavated soil is reused and 50% of the impacted soil is evacuated by river
14 months later, the Saulnier ZAC is showing a new face. With 15 days to spare, the decontamination site is finished. The result of the teams’ unfailing involvement and cooperation, the rehabilitation site is a real success.
Everyone involved is proud to have participated in this project, which will soon welcome athletes from all over the world for the 2024 Olympic Games.
