Constructed Wetlands
Constructed Wetlands are engineered ecosystems using plants and microorganisms to treat wastewater, stormwater, and agricultural runoff. They reduce nutrients, pathogens, and sediments while offering lower operational costs and environmental benefits. Our designers have over 40 years of combined experience in wetland research and implementation.
On-site Sewage Systems
On-site Sewage Systems provide tailored wastewater solutions for homeowners and remote communities. Our EcoCell system uses zero energy and constructed wetlands for chemical-free treatment. We manage council approvals, design, and installation, ensuring compliance with regulatory standards for safe, sustainable outcomes.
Contaminated Land Assessment
Contaminated Land Assessments identify soil and groundwater pollutants through detailed testing. We develop remediation plans to remove or neutralize contaminants, ensuring site safety. Our team collaborates with councils to meet regulatory requirements for residential, commercial, and industrial developments.
Water Quality Monitoring
Water Quality Monitoring involves sampling and analysis to assess compliance with environmental and drinking water standards. We provide data-driven reports for regulatory submissions, infrastructure projects, and ongoing management of water resources across urban and remote locations.
Hazardous Materials Management
Hazardous Materials Management includes identification, testing, and safe handling of asbestos, mould, and hazardous substances. Our licensed assessors conduct surveys prior to demolition or renovation, ensuring compliance with WHS regulations and safe site remediation for residential and commercial properties.
