iEnvi assessed a 1,800 m3 soil stockpile for an inner-west Sydney council to determine suitability for reuse. Targeted test pits and laboratory analysis showed the material generally met the Excavated Natural Material Order 2014 criteria but required processing and a Specific Resource Recovery Order/Exemption from the NSW EPA before reuse as bunding engineering fill.
iEnvi completed preliminary soil investigations at multiple inner‑Sydney parks in early 2019. Hydrocarbons were detected in shallow soil at two parks, and targeted leachate testing demonstrated the hydrocarbons were immobile, allowing playground upgrades to proceed without further remediation or environmental management plans.
Shallow soil testing at a residential site in Morningside prior to construction of a childcare centre found concentrations below regulatory assessment criteria for human health and ecological receptors. Soil was considered low risk and no further action was required. Reuse options may now be considered prior to offsite removal.
iEnvi supervised a 2019 resource-recovery program to reuse road asphalt millings as engineering fill for new sports fields. About 19,755 tonnes from 56 roads were reused under Recovered Aggregate Order requirements and assessed suitable for public open-space use.
