– South-Africa John Kidd from Shell together with several other industry members and Service providers are busy setting up “NICOLA ” – South Africa
The South African Department of Environmental Affairs expressed that they are strongly in favour of this network being established in South Africa and are highly supportive. They have already suggested interactions with one another forum and are keen to see NICOLA play a significant role in the SGW development in South Africa. The regulators have supported the initiative and are willing to provide whatever support is deemed necessary to make the network a success . If you are interested in the network development in South Africa development, please contact John Kidd.
– Brasil Beginning in 2013, a group of industry, service providers and other interested parties began discussions to consider the formation of this group, to be modeled on NICOLE Europe.

The nearly 30 members have thus resolved to launch this group at EKOS Brasil, an international remediation and contaminated areas revitalization seminar, which will be held on October 1st and 2nd, 2014, in São Paulo, Brazil. This seminar is announced at the event session. If you are interested in the network development in Brazil, please contact Suzana Kraus.
Recent News – MediTerra
MediTerra has been awarded by the European Environment Agency (EEA) with the contract “Study on Land Recycling”. For performing this assessment we have the collaboration of ARCADIS, LQM and Leitat.
The aim of this study is to evaluate wider environmental impacts, i.e. other than those directly related to land use (both on- and off-site), of brownfield development by evaluating and applying the Life Cycle Thinking (LCT) approach across a number of European cases.
NICOLE sustainable remediation working group will contribute for the content.
For more information on MediTerra please contact Laurent Bakker.
