With 30 years’ experience as specialists in land contamination and HAZMAT services, we at ECON Environmental can advise you on the environmental compliant risk of your site prior to DA lodgements or for your own due diligent purpose.
Whether you want us to help identify potential areas of environmental concern, assist with compliance issues, or provide advice on the contamination status of your site prior to your development, we find the best solutions that meet your project objectives.
Land, air and water contamination assessments require a multi-disciplinary approach to determine the nature and extent of the contamination within a site and the actual or potential risk it presents to human health & the environment that clearly defines the human and ecological risks. Our services Include:
Our expertise in the environmental field combined with regulatory knowledge enables us to identify and quantify the environmental problems on your site, so we can propose the best remediation strategy.
As every project can have unique contamination issues, adequate site characterisation and risk identification is required to provide the most suitable and cost-efficient site remediation solution to meet your financial project budget.
We unite environmental data with the site’s history and contaminant profile to develop a site-specific Remediation Action Plan (RAP) and final Validation assessment.
We also prepare Environmental Management Plans (EMP) ongoing environmental issues.
ECON Environmental also assists clients in their project’s soil and waste management by undertaking sample testing and classification of soil material, whether being natural, excavated or fill material and provide recommendations on the disposal to EPA Licenced Facilitites, or reuse options.
With a Licensed Asbestos Assessor (LAA) on board we can also perform asbestos inspections and manage asbestos removal and disposal of asbestos contaminated soil material in line with the legal requirements
A Geotechnical Investigation is undertaken to provide information on the surface and subsurface soil conditions within a development site. It delivers a factual engineering assessment, comments and design recommendations relating to the possible impacts within the building envelope, surrounding areas and neighbouring structures. The investigation includes:
An Onsite Wastewater Report is a technical document which specifies how the sewage produced onsite will be managed, treated and then disposed. An Onsite Wastewater Report carefully considers the environment, health, cost and long term management options for the onsite management of sewage. The performance objectives of the Onsite Wastewater Assessment are to:
The objective of this Acid Sulfate Soils Assessment is to determine the potential and risk of acid sulfate soils within proposed developments, in accordance with the NSW Acid Sulfate Soil Management Advisory Committee 1998 “The Acid Sulfate Soils Manual” and determine if an Acid Sulfate Soils Management Plan is required.
A soil sampling and analysis program is used to consolidate the nature and degree of Acid Sulfate Soils present in the surface and subsurface geology. Nominated soil samples are also sent to a NATA certified laboratory to undertake SPOCAS testing. The results of the laboratory analysis indicate whether there is or not discernible Acid Sulfate generating potential within the site.
We also provide construction recommendations for the salinity conditions encountered within a site and the potential adverse impact of salinity on the proposed development.
ECON Environmental investigates, assesses and recommends solutions for the control, management and minimisation of building related hazardous containing materials, including Asbestos and Lead Paint.
The ECON Environmental team includes a SafeWork NSW Licensed Asbestos Assessor (LAA) who undertakes all building inspections and clearances for the building’s ongoing management or prior to its demolition. Services include:
Keep track of your projects with the use of our Drones to regularly map and model your jobsite. Detailed, high-resolution drone images allow us to measure and analyse almost anything on your site from a unique aerial perspective.
Drones gives us the ability to discover potential areas of environmental concern within the site that may go unnoticed at ground level. Aerial imagery also allows us to build a complete visual record of your site’s progress and identifies any environmental issues early, translating into better, more informed decisions on the ground. Drone services include:
