How We Manage Soil Contamination

Contaminated soil removal starts with understanding what’s in the ground. Our team will help you arrange testing to identify substances like asbestos, hydrocarbons, or heavy metals, then classify the soil for safe, compliant disposal.


Our team will then prepare the site using the right machinery, PPE and containment procedures for the job. Whether it's a surface-level issue or a deeper excavation, we tailor our approach, ensuring the removal process is contained and fully compliant.

After excavation, we transport contaminated soil to licensed disposal facilities, following EPA protocols and maintaining detailed documentation. Where needed, we backfill with clean material to restore the site safely.


By managing soil contamination as part of broader demolition or site prep work, we reduce the need for multiple contractors and limit project downtime. The result is a safer site, delivered with less stress and fewer moving parts.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • What is considered contaminated soil in Australia?

    Contaminated soil contains hazardous substances like hydrocarbons, asbestos, heavy metals, pesticides, or PFAS. In Australia, it’s classified as contaminated when levels exceed NEPM thresholds, which vary by site use. Disposal must follow EPA regulations and often requires licensed professionals and specialised waste handling procedures.

  • How is contaminated soil safely removed?

    Safe removal involves isolating the contaminated area, using appropriate machinery, and ensuring worker safety through PPE and dust control. Excavated soil is transported in sealed trucks to licensed facilities. Clean fill is typically used to restore the site, with EPA-compliant documentation maintained throughout the process.

  • Can contaminated soil be reused or treated on-site?

    Sometimes, contaminated soil can be treated with methods like bioremediation or soil washing, but this requires environmental authority approval. It’s generally limited to large industrial sites. Most residential or commercial projects opt for off-site disposal, which is safer, faster, and more straightforward compliance-wise.
