Charleroi pitfall to avoid

Former mining grounds and subsidence.

Charleroi sits on former coal concessions. In Marcinelle, Gilly, Châtelet, the risk of mining subsidence is documented. Require the attestation from the SPW mining-risk unit and a G2 soil study including a geotechnical survey. Check foundation depth at the reception record.
