Technosoils

Soil engineering brings together a set of techniques and expertise aimed at constructing soils. This process also makes it possible to restore functions to degraded soils (refunctionalization).

Soil engineering can be used to create anthroposols tailored to the needs of a wide range of projects (e.g., creating a park, restoring agricultural soil, quarry renaturation, water storage, etc.).

An initial study is conducted to determine the characteristics of the site's soils. This study also identifies potential local sources of complementary materials (e.g., other earthen materials, organo-mineral amendments, etc.) that may be used to meet the project’s objectives.
