Metropolitan Bus Depots – Environmental Compliance and Investigations

Practical environmental investigations and compliance audits across four Melbourne bus depots established a defensible baseline, identified localised hydrocarbon impacts near refuelling areas, confirmed no landfill‑gas risk from adjacent closed tips, and delivered reporting and management measures to meet Victorian regulatory expectations.

Proof in the Soil: PSI and Screening for a Former Sawmill

A concise, defensible Preliminary Site Investigation (PSI) and targeted soil screening at a former regional Queensland sawmill clarified contamination risk (timber-treatment residues, unknown fill, petroleum), updated the conceptual site model and set clear triggers for any further DSI or groundwater work — supporting sale, planning and due diligence.

Fresh Lease, Clean Start: Baseline Check at a Busy Brisbane Logistics Hub
