Contaminated Land Management

PSI and DSI investigations, soil classification, remediation oversight and contractor coordination for industrial, commercial and development sites. Scoping done well keeps disposal volumes (and disposal costs) sensible for the actual risk on site.

GSS provides contaminated land management services across the full project lifecycle: preliminary site investigation, detailed assessment, remediation compliance, and contractor and stakeholder management on site.

In NSW, work is delivered within the framework of the Contaminated Land Management Act and the accredited site auditor process. In Queensland, the Environmental Protection Act applies. We have direct experience working alongside NSW EPA accredited site auditors on remediation projects.

Common contaminants of concern include PFAS, hydrocarbons, heavy metals and historic fill. The practice covers both desktop and field-based work, with reports prepared to a standard suitable for regulator and auditor review.
