What is a contaminated land assessment?

A contamination refers to a substance being present in land, water or building materials that would not naturally be found.

Some examples include:

Mineral extraction (mining)
Waste disposal (non-organic)
Illegal or historic dumping
Leaking of storage tanks (industry, petrol station)
Pesticide or herbicide use (agriculture)
Asbestos contamination (construction or naturally occurring)
Natural disasters

The Environmental Protection Authority (EPA) assumes that businesses ought to know past and present activities that have caused or may cause environmental contamination.

A contaminated land assessment is a systematic investigation that allows you to determine the presence, scope and complexity of contamination within a space.

Our approach to contamination land consultancy

Our team provides comprehensive services for contaminated land assessments.

Assessment:

Our team of environmental consultants undertakes an audit to understand the current activities on-site. We will:

Look at council records and aerial photographs to understand historic activity
Conduct soil sampling, groundwater sampling and testing groundwater well installations to ensure compliance

Remediation:

Where contamination exists, remediation programs should be set in place as soon as possible to reduce the contamination footprint and minimise the environmental impact.

Our site consultants will work with clients to:

Implement remediation programs
Facilitate planning, scheduling, contracting and project management

Auditing:

The EPA stipulates that an auditor must provide auditing at an arm’s length or as an independent third party.

Our environmental management team has access to Certified Environmental Auditors across Australia and can implement a confidential audit at short notice to meet any compliance issues.

Risk Assessments :

Managing risk is what we do. We work with companies, industries and government departments to understand and manage potential environmental risk.

We conduct Human Health Risk Assessments and Ecological Risk Assessments to determine hazards and minimise human and ecological harm. Both assessments are equally important for environmental compliance.

Auditing, Sampling & Management of potential risks & existing hazards.
