Whether you are a local authority, design office, developer or public works company, improve your knowledge of urban soil quality with the BDSolU database.

[Replay] BDSOLU webinar: learning more about urban soil quality

The chemical characteristics of soils are often poorly known, particularly in urban areas where they have been affected by deposits due to various atmospheric emissions (factory discharges, road traffic, district and individual heating, etc.). They are also often made up of backfill impacted by previous activities. This is why the BDSolU database was created. It aims to improve the knowledge of private and public stakeholders on the quality of urban soils.

A webinar to learn more about urban soil quality

The chemical characteristics of soils are often poorly known, particularly in urban areas where they have been affected by deposits due to various atmospheric emissions (factory discharges, road traffic, district and individual heating, etc.) and are often made up of backfill impacted by previous activities.

Aimed at public or private stakeholders involved in reclaiming wasteland and managing excavated soil in potentially polluted areas, the BDSolU database aims to help you improve your knowledge of urban soil quality through urban soil geochemical background values.

You are:

  • a design office and, for the purposes of soil diagnoses or surveys, you wish to evaluate the results of chemical analyses in order to distinguish contributions specific to the site from those attributable to its environment? But you don't have a suitable reference system?
  • a public works company and developer looking for a receiving site compatible with your excavated soil to ensure that you do not pollute a plot of land?
  • a local authority and developer wanting to learn more about your area and map it with a view to sustainable development?

You have heard of the BDSolU database but never used it?

BRGM is organising a webinar (two dates to choose from) that will answer your questions.

On the agenda: an explanation of geochemical backgrounds, a presentation of BDSolU and a tutorial to get you started.

Register for the date that suits you best (each webinar lasts one and a half hours):

  • Thursday 4 September at 2 pm
    Monday 8 September at 9 am

The login link will be sent a few days beforehand.
