The old foundry
The 1.9 ha former foundry located in Choisy-Le-Roi, in the Southwest of Paris, was purchased by Ginkgo in October 2012 to be redeveloped as a residential program including private and social housing, as well as a dedicated logistics warehouse.
Analysis highlighted hydrocarbons, chlorinated solvents and Chrome VI pollution spots in soils, soil gas and groundwater. Backfills extracted during the demolition and soil remediation works were disposed of or reused for the earthwork and the development of a landscaped embankment. Overall, 90% of demolition waste has been valorised for reuse or recycling off site.
The redevelopment plan involves a total of 35,200 sqm, including around 23,100 sqm of open market housing, 8,100 sqm of social housing and 4,000 sqm of logistics.
