History
In the 19th century, this site was home to Eternit’s very first factory in Belgium. Between 1950 and 1980, Laminoil produced chlorinated oil products here. Between 1983 and 1997, oil producer Castrol (BP Group) used the site for the storage of several raw materials. These successive historical activities have resulted in considerable soil and groundwater pollution.
