Soil Remediation Services
Soil Remediation Services
Contaminated soil challenges arise when contaminants of potential concern (COPC) move into the natural soil environment. These contaminants often originate from industrial activities, agricultural chemicals, or improper waste disposal practices. Consequently, such contamination poses significant environmental challenges for landowners across various industries.
At the early stages of planning, ENV Solutions steps in as a reliable partner. We offer a comprehensive Contaminated Land Management (CLM) service, combining waste classification and resource recovery. This comprehensive approach augments our expertise in contaminated land remediation. Our skilled team of engineers, scientists, and project managers, delve deep into defining the scope and nature of the contaminated soil issue.
Collaboratively, we engage with stakeholders to design, implement, and verify the most optimal soil remediation packages tailored for each project.
An award winning remediation team, ENV’s proficiency covers a broad spectrum of techniques: from offsite contaminated soil disposal, soil remediation, soil beneficial reuse, contamination capping, soil blending, to advanced methods like bioremediation, chemical oxidation, immobilisation, and stabilisation. Given our extensive experience, we have efficiently managed a range of contaminants, that include:
Acid sulfate soils (ASS) are commonly found in areas containing iron sulfides. When these acid sulfate soils are exposed to oxygen, often due to excavation, land development, or changes in groundwater and standing water levels, the iron sulfides oxidise and produce sulphuric acid. This process can lead to severe environmental damage, including soil acidification, water contamination, and corrosion of infrastructure, making effective acid sulfate soils management essential.
At ENV, we specialise in comprehensive acid sulfate soils management designed to mitigate the risks associated with disturbance of these soils. As per best-practice, our approach prioritises avoiding disturbance where possible. When soil disturbance is unavoidable, we implement strategies such as minimising disruption, neutralising acidity with lime, hydraulically separating sulphides, or safely reburying material below the water table.
Our acid sulfate soil testing services form the foundation of an effective management plan. Through detailed site investigations and site-specific risk assessments, we accurately identify the presence and extent of acid sulfate soils, enabling tailored and compliant management solutions that meet all relevant regulatory standards.
ENV is a recognised leader in developing and implementing tailored acid sulfate soils management strategies, that comply with regulatory standards.
Hydrocarbon contamination of soil typically arises from the release or spillage of petroleum-based products, such as diesel, petrol, oil, or lubricants. Common sources include leaking underground storage tanks, pipeline failures, fuel spills during transport or refuelling, and improper disposal of oil or industrial waste. Contamination can also result from historic industrial activities, where hydrocarbons may have accumulated over time due to inadequate environmental controls.
ENV are industry leaders in soil remediation, specialising in hydrocarbon soil remediation, and expertly applying proven technologies such as bioremediation, soil vapour extraction, chemical oxidation, thermal desorption, excavation, phytoremediation, and monitored natural attenuation. ENV’s scientists and engineers work closely with clients to tailor soil remediation solutions, ensuring effective, compliant, and environmentally responsible clean-up, minimising impact and successfully restoring contaminated sites.
ENV Solutions has extensive experience in managing asbestos contamination in soil across a variety of sites and project scales. Our expertise in asbestos soil remediation covers comprehensive assessment, risk management, and tailored soil remediation strategies to safely handle asbestos hazards while minimising environmental impact and project costs. We apply industry best practices and comply with Australian regulations to ensure effective and responsible asbestos in soil management.
Our soil remediation approaches for asbestos contamination include excavation and off-site disposal, encapsulation, soil stabilization/solidification, in-situ capping, and sifting (screening/sieving). These options allow us to tailor solutions based on site conditions, contamination levels, and client requirements, ensuring the safest and most cost-effective outcomes. ENV Solutions is committed to delivering quality results through a thorough understanding of asbestos soil risks and proven soil remediation techniques.
