What MS Is All About
MS is an innovative industry serving the construction world, aiming to help build a better tomorrow. The company designs, builds, and installs solutions focused on recovering sand and conserving water — two of the most consumed natural resources by mankind. Based on the principle of “less is more,” MS brings two major innovations to the table: Save Sand by MS, a solution that produces quality sand for construction from construction waste or excavated earth, and Chromium6Free by MS, a unique water purification system that eliminates chromium VI — one of the world’s worst pollutants. (If you’ve heard of the Erin Brockovich story, you know how serious chromium VI contamination is.)
Main Benefits and Key Facts
Here’s why MS stands out:
- Sand is the second most consumed resource by humans, making its preservation critical.
- Natural sand deposits are becoming scarce, pushing the need for innovative valorization.
- Water is not just a source of life; it is life itself — a truth MS takes seriously.
- Chromium VI affects 16 million people worldwide and causes 3 million years of life lost, according to Pure Earth.
- For 15 years, MS has successfully completed 3 tunnel projects using its separation plants.
- MS operates Monday to Friday, 8 AM to 5:30 PM, reachable at +33 (0)4 73 28 52 70.
Underground Works: Building the Cities of Tomorrow
Underground construction is probably the most relevant answer to rampant urbanization. By crossing mountains and connecting continents, MS enables mobility for people and helps build the cities of tomorrow. It’s about creating infrastructure that lasts and supports growing populations without compromising the environment.
Mineral Industries: Valorizing Sand for the Future
Because sand is so vital and natural deposits are dwindling, MS focuses on creating tomorrow’s solutions to valorize and preserve this precious resource. The company’s approach turns construction waste and excavated earth into quality sand, reducing the need to extract new sand and protecting natural ecosystems.
Water Treatment: Preserving Our Most Precious Resource
Water is our primary resource, and MS treats it as such. Inspired by Antoine de Saint Exupéry’s words — “Water is not a source of life; it is life itself” — MS develops solutions that purify water and eliminate harmful pollutants like chromium VI. This commitment is crucial for ensuring safe, clean water for communities and industries alike.
Project Impact: Aligning with Sustainable Development Goals
- SDG 6: Clean Water and Sanitation — through innovative water treatment solutions.
- SDG 9: Industry, Innovation, and Infrastructure — by developing advanced construction and recycling technologies.
- SDG 11: Sustainable Cities and Communities — enabling underground works that support urban growth.
- SDG 12: Responsible Consumption and Production — valorizing sand and promoting circular economy principles.
- SDG 15: Life on Land — preserving natural resources and reducing environmental impact.
Recycling: Closing the Loop in the Circular Economy
In the circular economy, there’s real economy. MS believes in preserving nature while providing sources of competitiveness. Their recycling solutions help turn waste into valuable resources, reducing environmental footprints and supporting sustainable development. It’s about doing more with less — smarter, cleaner, and greener.
