What Envirosoil does

Envirosoil is a Belgian environmental soil consultancy, founded in 1992 (originally as Envirotox S.A.) and headquartered in Oostkamp, Belgium. The company provides end-to-end soil and groundwater services across four pillars: (1) soil surveys — indicative, in-depth, and risk analysis; (2) soil management — remediation design, execution, earthmoving, emergency response, and second-opinion reviews; (3) field operations — soil drilling, groundwater sampling, pump and infiltration testing, geotechnical probing, and proprietary MIP (Membrane Interface Probe) in-situ contaminant detection on a fleet of 5 owned drilling machines; and (4) waste services — demolition inventories, asbestos surveys, and Tracimat demolition monitoring plans under VLAREMA. The firm operates from 5 regional offices spanning all three Belgian regions (Flanders, Brussels, Wallonia) with 62 employees, and is recognized as an official soil expert by OVAM (Flanders), SPW (Wallonia), and BIM/IBGE (Brussels) — the only firms with such recognition can issue legally valid soil certificates required for land transactions.

The business is a project-based B2B and B2G professional services model: fees are set per project based on scope, site complexity, sampling volume, laboratory analysis, and the regional regulatory framework (Flanders, Brussels, or Wallonia). Revenue streams include survey and assessment fees, remediation design and execution management fees, earthmoving study and sampling fees, and waste/demolition inventory fees. Clients span government and parastatals (SNCB, Agentschap Wegen en Verkeer, De Vlaamse Waterweg), sector funds (Vlabotex, Bofas), industry (SMEs to large multinationals), construction and real estate developers, engineering consultancies, and private individuals. The go-to-market is direct sales via account managers and the regional office network, supported by VEB and FEDEXSOL industry memberships and public-sector procurement relationships.

Differentiation rests on multi-regional regulatory recognition, in-house drilling and sampling crews (VCA* certified), proprietary MIP technology that reduces borehole and monitoring well counts, and a multi-decade operational track record since 1992. The firm has ERDF/Wallonia co-financing for a new Tournai office building supporting geographic expansion into northern France. No revenue, funding, or ownership figures are publicly disclosed; the company appears to be founder/management-owned without institutional investor backing.

Revenue model

1. Soil Survey and Assessment Services: Project-based professional consulting fees for indicative/orientation surveys, in-depth/characterisation surveys, and risk analysis. Services are delivered by multidisciplinary teams of project managers, environmental supervisors, and own drilling teams across Belgium's three regions.
2. Remediation Design and Execution Management: Fees for designing remediation projects (excavation, earthmoving, in-situ techniques) and providing full project management and coordination through to final reporting. Typically commissioned following a contaminated site assessment.
3. Earthmoving Study and Sampling Services: Charges for pre-reuse studies of excavated soil, including sampling strategy, Technical Report (Vlaanderen) preparation, and sampling of stockpiles, both prior to earthworks and on intermediate storage piles.
4. Waste Sampling and Demolition Inventory Services: Fees for demolition waste inventories, asbestos surveys, demolition monitoring plans (Tracimat), and waste sampling for reuse as secondary raw materials under VLAREMA. Services provided to construction companies, developers, and property owners.

Core offering

Envirosoil is a Belgian environmental consultancy that conducts soil surveys (indicative, in-depth, and risk analyses), designs and executes soil and groundwater remediation, performs soil drilling and groundwater monitoring, and provides demolition/asbestos inventories and earthmoving services. It operates across Belgium's three regions (Flanders, Brussels, Wallonia) and is recognized as a certified soil expert by each regional authority. The firm serves industrial, governmental, construction, and engineering clients, with a smaller share of private-individual work tied to property transactions.

Product overview

Envirosoil is an environmental soil survey and consulting bureau offering a comprehensive suite of services across Belgium's three regions (Flanders, Brussels, Wallonia). The service portfolio comprises four main pillars: (1) Soil Survey services including indicative surveys, in-depth characterization, risk analysis, and remediation for both soil and water beds/sediments; (2) Soil Management consulting covering remediation design, execution management, earthmoving, emergency response, and second opinions; (3) Field Operations including soil drilling, groundwater sampling, pump/infiltration testing, MIP (Membrane Interface Probe) technology, and geotechnical probing; and (4) Waste Management services encompassing demolition inventories, asbestos surveys, and secondary raw material certification. The company operates with in-house drilling teams and sampling crews, providing end-to-end capabilities from initial contamination assessment through remediation execution.

Products and services

• Indicative Soil Survey A preliminary site investigation used to identify whether soil contamination may be present, typically required prior to property transactions or land development. Targeted at property owners, developers, and legal notaries acting on behalf of buyers/sellers.
• In-depth Soil Survey A detailed soil contamination investigation carried out when an indicative survey indicates risk, used to delineate the extent and nature of pollution. Required by regional authorities in Belgium before remediation planning.
• Soil Risk Analysis Risk-based evaluation that determines whether identified soil contamination poses an actual risk to humans, ecosystems, or groundwater, supporting decisions on whether remediation is required.
• Soil Remediation End-to-end design and execution of soil remediation projects for contaminated industrial, commercial, and brownfield sites. Covers both in-situ and ex-situ techniques in compliance with Belgian regional regulations.
• Water Bed and Sediment Remediation Specialized remediation of contaminated sediments and surface-water beds, including dredging, treatment, and compliant disposal. Targeted at port authorities, waterway managers, and industrial operators.
• Soil Remediation Design and Execution Engineering design followed by on-site execution of remediation plans, including excavation, treatment, and validation sampling. Sold to industrial site owners, developers, and public-sector clients.
• Earthmoving Services Site preparation and earthworks linked to remediation or development projects, including excavation, backfilling, and ground profiling. Provided as part of integrated soil-management contracts.
• Calamities and Damage Response Emergency response for soil and water contamination incidents such as spills, fires, and industrial accidents, including containment, sampling, and clean-up coordination.
• Second Opinion Services Independent expert review of existing soil surveys, remediation plans, or reports produced by other consultants. Used by legal firms, insurers, and clients disputing prior findings.
• Soil Drilling Mechanical drilling of boreholes to collect soil samples and install monitoring wells, supporting survey and remediation projects across Belgium.
• Groundwater Sampling and Monitoring Installation of piezometers and recurring groundwater sampling and analysis to track contaminant plumes and verify remediation effectiveness.
• Pump Testing and Infiltration Testing Hydraulic field tests used to determine groundwater flow parameters and soil infiltration capacity, informing remediation design and stormwater management.
• MIP (Membrane Interface Probe) Investigation Direct-push screening using a membrane interface probe to detect volatile organic compounds in soil and groundwater in real time, enabling faster plume delineation.
• Probing and Soil Mechanical Characteristics Geotechnical probing to characterize soil mechanical properties relevant to foundation design, stability analysis, and remediation feasibility.
• Demolition Inventory Pre-demolition inventories of buildings and structures to identify hazardous materials, waste streams, and reusable materials prior to demolition works.
• Asbestos and Asbestos Inventory Identification, sampling, and inventory of asbestos-containing materials in buildings and structures, in compliance with Belgian asbestos regulations.
• Waste and Secondary Raw Materials Characterization and management of waste streams and secondary raw materials generated during demolition, remediation, and earthworks projects.
