Soil removal
We are committed to minimising the environmental impact at every stage of Campus Pictet de Rochemont construction project. We have therefore implemented an innovative solution to dispose of the soil from the construction site. By transporting the 80,000 m3 of soil - enough to fill 35 Olympic swimming pools or more than 9,000 lorries - by rail instead of by road, we have halved the carbon footprint per tonne of material.
After it is removed by train, the soil from the site is unloaded into the lake – an increasingly common disposal method that poses no danger to the lake’s ecosystem. This solution was made possible thanks to the outstanding cooperation with the different stakeholders we worked with for this key step of the project.
