SITE AND SOIL ASSESSMENT & EVALUATIONS SERVICES

SERS offers cost-effective environmental services that are backed by extensive industry experience. Our site assessment services encompass contaminated land assessments, land purchase, waste and environmental management, and regeneration for brownfield sites. We have worked on numerous projects, works include the identification and remediation of contaminated sites.

We take an integrated approach involving complete assessments identifying and mitigating potential environmental risks. Our approach covers the management and execution of remediation solutions to suit the circumstances. This also includes the design, management, and validation of aspects associated with contaminated land works.

SERS currently works with clients in the construction, engineering, land and property acquisition, and asset management sectors. We service tier one miners, industrial facility holders, commercial facilities and residential settings. Our aim is to provide cost-effective services and customer-focused advice.

We provide clients with detailed assessments aiding them to make informed business decisions based on environmental risks and possible associated liabilities. The information we provide allows for a Site Management Plan to be applied should a site require remediation.

Comprehensive Environmental Solutions Across Australia

At Site Environmental & Remediation Services (SERS), we provide expert site assessment and soil evaluation services to ensure your property meets all environmental standards and regulations. Our services are designed to help you understand the environmental condition of your site, identify potential risks, and develop effective remediation strategies. We incorporate the National Environmental Protection Measures (NEPM) to ensure compliance with national standards and protect the environment.

Understanding Site Assessment and Soil Evaluation

Site assessment and soil evaluation are critical components of environmental management. These processes involve the systematic investigation of a site to identify any potential contamination and assess the quality of the soil. The goal is to ensure that the site is safe for its intended use and complies with environmental regulations.

The Role of NEPM in Environmental Protection

The National Environmental Protection Measures (NEPM) are a set of guidelines established by the National Environment Protection Council (NEPC) to protect and manage the environment. NEPM provides a framework for assessing and managing contaminated sites, ensuring that they are remediated to a standard that protects human health and the environment.

Our Site Assessment Services

Phase I Environmental Site Assessment (ESA)

A Phase I ESA is the first step in the site assessment process. It involves a thorough review of the site’s history and current conditions to identify potential environmental concerns. Our Phase I ESA services include:

  • Historical Research

    We review historical records, aerial photographs, and land use documents to identify past activities that may have caused contamination.

  • Site Inspection

    Our team conducts a detailed site inspection to identify visible signs of contamination, such as spills, leaks, or improper waste disposal.

  • Interviews and Documentation

    We interview current and past property owners, occupants, and local authorities to gather additional information about the site’s environmental history.

  • Report Preparation

    We compile our findings into a comprehensive report that outlines potential environmental risks and recommends further action if necessary.

Phase II Environmental Site Assessment (ESA)

If the Phase I ESA identifies potential environmental concerns, a Phase II ESA is conducted to further investigate and confirm the presence of contamination. Our Phase II ESA services include:

  • Soil and Groundwater Sampling

    We collect soil and groundwater samples from various locations on the site for laboratory analysis.

  • Laboratory Analysis

    Our accredited laboratories use advanced techniques to analyse samples for contaminants such as heavy metals, hydrocarbons, and volatile organic compounds (VOCs).

  • Risk Assessment

    We evaluate the potential health and environmental risks associated with any identified contamination.

  • Detailed Reporting

    We provide a detailed report of our findings, including the extent of contamination and recommendations for remediation if necessary.

Soil Evaluation Services

Soil Quality Assessment

Soil quality assessment is essential for understanding the health and fertility of the soil. Our services include:

  • Soil Sampling

    We collect soil samples from various depths and locations on the site to ensure a representative analysis.

  • Laboratory Testing

    Our laboratories conduct comprehensive tests to determine soil composition, nutrient levels, pH, and the presence of contaminants.

  • Soil Health Indicators

    We assess key soil health indicators, such as organic matter content, microbial activity, and soil structure.

Contaminated Land Assessment

Contaminated land assessment is crucial for identifying and managing sites with potential soil contamination. Our services include:

  • Preliminary Site Investigation

    We conduct a preliminary investigation to identify potential sources of contamination and assess the extent of the impact.

  • Detailed Site Investigation

    We perform a detailed investigation, including soil and groundwater sampling, to confirm the presence and concentration of contaminants.

  • Risk Assessment

    We evaluate the risks associated with the contamination, considering factors such as exposure pathways and potential receptors.

  • Remediation Planning

    Based on the findings, we develop a remediation plan to address the contamination and restore the site to a safe condition.

Incorporating NEPM Guidelines

Our site assessment and soil evaluation services are designed to comply with the National Environmental Protection Measures (NEPM) guidelines. Key aspects of NEPM that we incorporate include:

  • Health-Based Investigation Levels (HILs)

    We use HILs to assess the potential health risks associated with soil contamination and determine the need for remediation.

  • Ecological Investigation Levels (EILs)

    We use EILs to evaluate the potential impact of soil contamination on the environment and develop appropriate remediation strategies.

  • Guideline on the Investigation Levels for Soil and Groundwater

    We follow NEPM guidelines for sampling, analysis, and reporting to ensure accurate and reliable results.

  • Risk-Based Approach

    We adopt a risk-based approach to site assessment and remediation, focusing on protecting human health and the environment.
