We support you

We provide you with comprehensive diagnostics in various fields, including those related to polluted sites, contaminated soils, and wetlands. Our specialization lies in identifying, delimiting, and evaluating wetland areas, as well as conducting pollution diagnostics. In collaboration with our accredited partners, we offer investigation, analysis, and interpretation services to estimate rehabilitation costs and ensure the compatibility of the environment with its future use. Our expertise and rigorous approach guarantee tailored solutions for every environmental situation.

Wetland Diagnostics

We offer our clients wetland diagnostic services, including the identification and delimitation of these areas, as well as the study of their functionality.

Identification and Delimitation of Wetlands

To identify and delimit wetland areas, we use the methodology established by the ministerial order of June 24, 2008, which has been modified in compliance with articles L.214-7-1 and R.211-108 of the Environmental Code.

An area is considered wetland if it presents one of the following criteria:

We conduct pedological campaigns and collaborate with specialized partners to carry out floristic expertise. The pedological criterion is assessed through pedological surveys to a depth of 1.20 meters using a hand auger or other suitable tool. The soil samples collected during these surveys are then examined in detail.

Study of Wetland Functionality

The study of wetland functionality aims to define the functions and environmental issues associated with the destruction of a wetland area.

We apply the Guide of the National Method for Evaluating Wetland Functions (June 2016, OFB) to carry out this study. The OFB method consists of three phases:

  1. Evaluation of the biodiversity of the impacted and compensatory sites.
  2. Estimation of the effects of impacts and compensatory measures on the value of the indicators.
  3. Calculation of losses, gains, and equivalence.

Pollution Diagnostics

The objective of our diagnostic mission is to verify suspicions of pollution by conducting appropriate sampling and analyses of different matrices. This allows us to estimate the cost of necessary rehabilitation to make the environment compatible with its future use.

In collaboration with our accredited partners, such as a drilling company and a COFRAC-accredited laboratory, we offer the following services to our clients:

ixsane is LNE certified according to the service provider reference standard in the field of contaminated sites and soils, in connection with the NFX-31-620 standard. Since July 2015, ixsane has held certification for Domain A, "Studies, Assistance, and Control," and since January 2020 for Domain D, "Issuance of ALUR Certificates."

This certification aims to "operationally and genuinely improve the quality of professions in the field of contaminated sites and soils" and enhances trust in our relationships with clients by ensuring the achievement of service commitments, such as client communication, the establishment of a qualified team, the use of suitable equipment, and subcontracting control.
