Services
Contaminated Land Assessment
Our specialists conduct comprehensive assessments of contaminated land through desktop research, field investigations, and laboratory analysis. We identify contamination sources, assess risks to human health and ecosystems, and provide remediation recommendations. Our approach combines regulatory compliance with practical solutions for property transactions and development projects.
Sustainable Remediation Solutions
We design and implement remediation strategies that balance technical effectiveness with environmental sustainability. Technologies include bioremediation, soil vapour extraction, and monitored natural attenuation. Our solutions prioritise long-term ecological benefits while meeting regulatory requirements and client budget constraints across industrial and urban redevelopment sites.
Environmental Risk Assessment
Our risk assessments evaluate contamination impacts on human health and ecological systems. We use quantitative models to determine exposure pathways and develop risk management strategies. This service supports regulatory compliance under Victoria's Environment Protection Act 2017 for land development and industrial operations.
Landfill Gas Management
We assess and mitigate risks from landfill gas emissions through monitoring programs and engineering controls. Our solutions address methane migration and groundwater contamination concerns, ensuring compliance with environmental regulations while protecting nearby communities and ecosystems in urban development projects.
Environmental Due Diligence
Our due diligence services identify environmental liabilities during property transactions. We conduct phase I and II assessments, review regulatory compliance, and estimate remediation costs. This service helps clients make informed decisions about land acquisitions, divestments, and financing arrangements across commercial and industrial properties.
