Fontaine-l'Évêque pitfall to avoid

Former mining grounds and subsidence risk.

South Charleroi (including Fontaine-l'Évêque, Forchies, Leernes) sits on former coal concessions. The risk of mining subsidence is mapped by the SPW. Require the mining-risk unit attestation and a G2 soil study including a geotechnical survey.

Témoignage acheteur
« The developer hadn't supplied the mining attestation — we refused to sign, and rightly so. »
