Excavated materials in construction

For every construction project, it is essential to consider how to dispose of excavated material.

Geoservizi deals not only with soil characterisation in terms of the presence of pollutants, but also with the identification of the best disposal or valorisation options in depots and plants in Ticino and beyond, as well as towards platforms active in the export of clean material.

Our staff's expertise allows them to exploit interesting synergies, combining geological assessments to optimise time and costs.

The Ordinance on the Prevention and Disposal of Waste (OPSR), which replaced the Technical Ordinance on Waste (TVA) in 2016, places more emphasis on planning to minimise and make the best use of materials, rather than simply sending them to landfill.

With regard to excavated and cleared material, the OPSR defines requirements, criteria and conditions for the recycling of material for filling, for use as raw material for the production of construction material or for storage or disposal.
