Soil restoration
Naturem Solutions evaluates soil quality and implements nature-based solutions for soil restoration. This approach restores the natural properties of living soil, hence maximising its benefits.
Draw inspiration from nature for your project
Our solutions are inspired by natural processes and are based on circular economy principles. We propose our services to property managers, industries and companies owning land assets they intend to upgrade or renaturalise.
Soils provide many ecosystem services and can help support your regenerative projects: infiltration and treatment of surface runoff, water management, development of brownfield sites, wood-energy projects, improved carbon footprint, adaptation to climate change, landscape upgrade, restoration of degraded habitats and enhancement of biodiversity.
Our expertise in soil restoration
In collaboration with our partners, we offer a range of services relating to soil quality.
Soil quality index and advice for your construction sites
Besides a site survey based on our internal protocol (first step of a restoration project), we can perform standalone Brussels Soil Quality Index (IQSB) or Walloon Soil Quality Index (IQSW) investigations, which involve various tests and analyses of soil samples.
We also advise you on best practice for soil management during the construction phase of any project.
Creation of functional soils
We advise you on the formulation and follow the application of measures to restore living soils using materials available on site (excavated or decontaminated soil, topsoil, etc.), to achieve the defined objectives. This process involves soil engineering and ecological engineering, requires the addition of organic matter and, where necessary, other natural additives. It can be complemented by appropriate planting (plant engineering).
Water–soil–plant interaction
We incorporate the restoration of living soils into a comprehensive framework for regenerative land management, taking into account the water cycle and plants interactions (mycorrhizae, etc.).
Sustainable nature-based solutions
Why choose nature-based solutions for soil restoration ?
Make the most of your land assets or brownfield sites
Restoring your land assets for regenerative purposes can help to enhance their value, whether directly in terms of the environment or landscape, or through crops (e.g. wood for energy), your carbon footprint or its future development.
Reduce your environmental impact
Nature-based solutions reduce ecological footprint, carbon footprint and waste output of your business, thanks to the use of natural processes and approaches inspired by circular economy. Our eco-technologies are resilient, efficient, and optimised to meet your needs.
Give priority to multifunctional solutions
Unlike conventional approaches, our nature-inspired solutions offer multiple benefits, including improvement of the water cycle, pollution control, climate change mitigation and adaptation, biodiversity and landscaping.
