ENVIRONMENTAL SERVICES

Environmental Services involve all aspects of land, air and water based pollution and the effective identification, delineation and remediation of this pollution. The Environmental Group has extensive experience both in Australia and overseas for environmental services and training of field personnel, management of contractors and emphasis on site specific environmental solutions.


Our range of environmental solutions include:

Environmental Management Systems
EMS (ISO 14000) auditing and accreditation
Life Cycle Analysis (ISO14000 series)
Integration of Quality, Health & Environmental Systems
Environmental and Compliance Audits
Contaminated Site Assessment
Remediation, Validation and Remediation Action Plans (RAPs)
Environmental Management Plans
Waste Treatment, Collection, Segregation and Recycling Plants
Waste By-product Development Plants, e. g. Fertilisers from Waste Streams
Project Management
Environmental and Resource Planning
Environmental Impact Statements
Soil Gas Survey
Soil Sampling, Soil Chemistry and Instrumentation
Underground Storage Tank (UST) Removal
Occupational Health and Safety
Air Quality Studies
Dust Monitoring
Noise Monitoring
Groundwater and Piezometer Investigations and Services
Water and Wastewater Investigations, Plant Design and Services
Waste Minimisation, Recycling and Management
Environmental Performance (ISO 14000 series)
Litigation Support, Regulatory Controls and Expert Testimony

In addition to the standard range of environmental services, particular specialties have been fostered on major international development projects. The ability of the Environmental Group to field skilled personnel capable of living and working effectively in culturally sensitive and politically diverse situations has contributed to our growing ability to act as community or government spokesperson for education, mediator or political reasons.


REMEDIATION AND WASTE MANAGEMENT SERVICES

The Remediation Group has extensive experience with site clean up and has conducted a multitude of physical, chemical and biological remediation projects across Australia.

Our focus on Integrated Services and Environmental Management Systems provides recycling and waste minimisation opportunities for difficult to treat wastes and sludges. Our combined expertise allows us to specialise in the following:

Stabilisation
Soil Vapour Extraction
Dual Phase Air Sparging / Bioremediation
Bioremediation
Flocculation /Coagulation /Sedimentation
Soil Washing
Screening
Thermal Desorption
Chemical Treatment
Feasibility Studies
Waste Minimisation
Byproduct reuse
Energy recovery from wastes
Byproduct recycling
Odour scrubbers
Biofilters
Water treatment plants (mobile / Permanent)
Stabilisation equipment
ESD processes and implementation
Asbestos Removal


The Remediation Group have specialist capabilities in the areas of treatment systems for pollution control and in not just finding solutions, but also conducting training and setting up programs for continual improvement and increased environmental due diligence.

The Remediation Group have propriety treatment processes at our disposal for the treatment of gaseous, liquid and solid wastes. We also have the capability to design and construct treatment systems to suit requirements.



GEOTECHNICAL ENGINEERING SERVICES

The Engineering Group is a member and strong supporter of the Association of Consulting Engineers Australia (ACEA). The Geotechnical Service predicts and monitors the use of earth materials and provides professional geotechnical engineering services in conformance with the needs and requirements of our clients.


Services are provided to a wide client base including Consulting Engineers, Federal, State and Local Government Departments, Statutory Authorities, Mining and Industrial Companies, Developers, Builders, Contractors plus many more specific industry sectors. This work is carried out for an extensive range of projects including:


Shopping Centres
Tall Buildings
Bridges
Embankments
Cuts and Natural Slopes
Dams
Rivers
Resource Evaluation
Mine Infrastructure
Geological /Terrain Mapping
Subdivisions
Basements
Footings
Commercial and Industrial Buildings
Wharves
Houses


The Engineering Group ADDS VALUE in the delivery of geotechnical engineering services by adopting four key strategies. Firstly, we put ourselves in the clients position to understand their wants and needs before we commence the investigation works. Secondly, we save the client money by not assuming what the client wants.

We gather information to develop a scope of works that adds value to the project without performing unnecessary fieldwork or laboratory testing. Thirdly, we test and review our report from the clients perspective to ensure our reports are concise, with clear conclusions and recommendations to satisfy the objectives of the investigation. Finally, we deliver on time.



SOIL TESTING & DRILLING SERVICES

The Laboratory Group provides NATA registered fixed and mobile laboratories. These laboratories are equipped and resourced to carry out a comprehensive range of quality control tests for civil construction projects. The Geotechnical Side-service predicts and monitors the use of earth materials and provides construction control testing in conformance with the needs and requirements of our clients. These laboratories are not for chemical /environmental purposes but for engineering projects.

The Group also own and operate drilling rigs. The rigs are capable of a diverse range of functions and are fitted with the latest auger, bits and well construction devices. The review of subsurface conditions can be used for geotechnical or environmental investigations and the service allows combined projects to be undertaken. This work is focused on providing all types of solutions for projects including:

NATA SOIL LABORATORIES

Arterial Roads
Subdivisions
Commerical & Industrial Developments
Site Laboratories
Quarry Products

DRILLING

Conventional Augering
Wash Boring
Rock Coring
Hollow Flight Augering
Insitu Testing and Sampling
Split Tube Sampling
Environmental Sampling
CPT Pushing


Services are provided to a wide client base including Consulting Engineers, Federal, State and Local Government Departments, Statutory Authorities, Mining and Industrial Companies, Developers, Builders, Contractors plus many more specific industry sectors.

The Laboratory Group aims to provide a comprehensive range of quality services, equipment and products as tools and materials for effective utilisation of engineering and environmental solutions for cost savings and integrated management services. Mobile labs can be placed anywhere around Australia.
