iEnvi completed an asbestos- and contaminant-focused soil classification at an industrial chemical site in Melbourne, providing a compliant, cost-effective pathway for excavation and construction of a flammable goods storage area.
iEnvi investigated asbestos‑impacted soil and groundwater at an industrial site in Coolaroo (VIC). Bonded asbestos in stockpiled soil was removed by hand‑picking (emu‑picking) and the remaining material verified for reuse as clean fill, avoiding costly landfill disposal while meeting EPA Victoria obligations under the General Environmental Duty.
iEnvi expanded its network of independent contaminated‑land sub‑consultants in 2022 to improve local availability, technical depth and delivery flexibility for clients across Australia.
You see lots of building developments going up, and large construction sites.
iEnvi provided site sampling, waste classification and VENM assessment for Transport for NSW during Jenolan Caves Road remediation works, enabling compliant reuse and reducing disposal costs while keeping the project on schedule.
Targeted soil assessment of a former oyster farm footprint identified low-risk PAH sources (asphalt fragments) rather than residual coal tar, resolving a data gap and enabling council approval for low-density residential development.
When is a Soil Stockpile ‘Waste’, and Can a Hotspot of Asbestos or ACM in a Stockpile be Removed and the Soil be reclassified?
Blanks are artificial samples (made up of ultra-pure MilliQ water) used to trace sources of contamination which may be introduced to samples: During handling and transportation;…
iEnvi managed in‑situ abandonment of three underground storage tanks at a restaurant in Hervey Bay, QLD using foam filling to avoid structural impacts. Work complied with AS4976‑2008 and included guidance on validation groundwater monitoring and UPSS completion to progress removal from the QLD Environmental Management Register (EMR).
Case study: CEMP, ESCP and VMP prepared by iEnvi for a regional council to manage vegetation clearing, earthworks, acid sulfate soils, fauna risk and sediment during construction of a sports complex in South East Queensland.
