Valorisation of steel dairy: construction of a parking lot and industrial storage platform

HARSCO Environmental

Project context

In 2019, as part of the establishment of the Poma industrial site, this project consisted of: development of a complete outer area integrating:

  • one parking lot for light vehicles and heavy goods vehicles
  • a industrial storage platform
  • of the infrastructure adapted to logistical flows site

The project was carried out on a parcel requiring significant preparatory work for earthmoving and shaping to ensure the stability of the structures.


Project objectives

  • Creating functional surfaces suitable for industrial use
  • Ensuring the security of on-site logistics flows
  • Ensuring the sustainability of storage platforms

Studies, research and prior testing

The project has undergone an in-depth study to ensure the performance and safety of the works:

  • Soil lift study to size structures adapted to heavy loads
  • Environmental analysis of the site prior to implementation
  • Verification of the compatibility of the yard with the use of steel dairy
  • Implementation of a material validation procedure including:
      • leaching tests
      • expansion tests
      • creation of product data sheets

Ecosystem, stakeholders and partners

The project is part of a demanding industrial environment involving several actors:

  • Owner;
  • Office of Technical Studies;
  • Public works company.

Technical performance

  • Excellent mechanical strength structures facing heavy loads
  • Stability and sustainability storage platforms
  • Effective adaptation of roads and parking areas industrial flows

Environmental impacts and circular economy

The project contributes to a more sustainable construction approach through:

  • the recovery of steel dairy ;
  • Reducing environmental impact overall development;
  • the contribution to a circular economy.

This project illustrates the ability to design and implement efficient, sustainable and integrated industrial infrastructure based on materials from value chains, in a technical and environmental performance logic.

    Strasbourg – Rocade Sud Grand Contourment Ouest - REMEX

    Between 2017 and 2020, REMEX provided alternative materials for several phases of the major infrastructure projects in Strasbourg, including the South Rocade, the West Grand Contour and various related works.

    Le Eleven Residence - CHRYSO

    The Le Eleven residence in Chartres is a set of 12 housing units built in compliance with the E2C1 approach, label created to contribute to the fight against climate change for new construction, short circuits in favor of the circular economy with a maintenance of the balance of costs.

    Gagny Quarry Filling Building (93) - VEOLIA

    For 9 months, the old gypsum quarries of the city of Gagny were completed(93). The grouping of the three companies responsible for the work, chose to trust Veolia for the supply of 300,000 tons of B2 sandstone.

    Green Cross Building - VEOLIA

    With eight roundabouts and six kilometres of shoulder straps, the Green Cross interchange connects the A16 motorway to the Francilienne – RN104. It is one of the most important road nodes in the Val-d的Oise. Open to traffic at the end of 2019, who imagines riding on roads made, in part, of recycled materials? Because, under the carriageway, 70,000 tons of grave New·O make up the shape layer. This recycled granulate comes from the recovery of chewer material, a solid residue of energy recovery of non-hazardous waste.

    ArcelorMittal Refractory Waste Management - MIRECO

    In partnership with RHI Magnesita, the contract holder, Mireco is present at the ArcelorMittal site in Dunkirk to manage the 25,000 tonnes of refractory waste from the steelworks. Their mission is to ensure optimum management of these wastes, with a focus on their recovery and minimising their environmental impact.

    Materials flow optimization at DEW - MIRECO

    Presented at its historical customer DEW in Geisweid, MIRECO provides all of its services in industrial waste management and secondary raw material production. The company takes an innovative approach based on the CERO-Waste approach.

    Highway A4 Sanef - EUROGRANUCATS

    Upgrading to 2×3 lanes of the A4 motorway (enlargement with the creation of a third lane in each traffic direction) between the A4/A31 interchanges (Hauconcourt Cross) and A4/A315 (Mey-Vantoux) on a 11 km motorway section, in 2 separate continuous sections.

    Building Imprint - NEOLITHE

    Casting of the first slab from the very low carbon cement and granulates of Anthropocite® from the waste treatment by Accelerated Fossilization.
    The project was carried out in two parts, the first was cast in April (concrete of 5% of anthropocite) and the second in June 19 (concrete of 10% of anthropocite).

    Waste treatment platform - TERRAG FRANCE

    TERRAG France supplied concrete blocks made from alternative materials from the glass industry and fluidized bed boiler sands, replacing natural aggregates, for the construction of the waste treatment platform.

    Issy-les-Moulineaux - REMEX

    In partnership with HEROS, 100% subsidiary of REMEX, the company provided URBASER with an efficient solution for the treatment of chewers, technically and tariffly adapted, as part of the 8-year operation of the incineration plant of Issy-les-Moulineaux, one of the largest in France.

    CIRR Building on A40 - ROAD EIFFAGE

    Co-combustion ash recovery in low-carbon road binders applied to ground reprocessing: feedback on the CIRR site of the A40.

    Centre Commercial de Soultz-sous-Forêt - TERRAG FRANCE

    TERRAG France carried out the soil treatment on the site of the parking lot at the Soultz-sous-Forêt shopping centre, using ash from the co-incineration of stationery and wood sludge.

    Recovery of Refiom - REMEX

    Through its REKS subsidiary, REMEX commits each year to the recovery of nearly 700,000 tonnes of REFIOM in Germany, thanks to an innovative and sustainable process.
