- Cert III DemolitionQualified
- Soil remediationAsbestos, lead, oil & PFAS
Contaminated ground, made safe.
Soil remediation is a core part of what we do, not a sideline. Old buildings and old industry leave things behind in the ground. We excavate, contain and remove contaminated soil so the site can be cleared for use, working to the remediation plan set by your environmental consultant.
Asbestos
Fragments and fibres buried in fill or left behind after old demolitions.
Lead
Lead paint residue and contaminated topsoil around older homes and industrial sites.
Oil & hydrocarbons
Ground affected by fuel, oil and grease from workshops, depots and old tanks.
PFAS
Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances, often found where firefighting foams were used.
What we take care of
- Excavation of contaminated soil to the depths and boundaries your consultant sets
- Separating clean and contaminated material on site to keep disposal costs down
- Covered stockpiles, dust and run-off control while the work is under way
- Loading and transport to licensed receiving facilities, with the paperwork to match
- Leaving the excavation open and tidy for validation sampling, then backfilling
Where we find it
- Old homes with buried fibro, lead paint and burnt rubbish
- Former workshops, depots, service stations and fuel tanks
- Industrial and mine sites being cleared or closed
- Sites where firefighting foams were used or stored
- Old fill brought in from unknown sources
One crew for the whole job.
Residential, commercial and industrial. Demolition, asbestos and contaminated soil often turn up on the same site, and we handle all three. Because our asbestos removal is done in-house, with no subcontractor margin on top, our prices often come in lower than the big operators.
