management projects of up to 8 years and $40 million in value. EPA signatory and independent Third Party
Reviewer for contaminated land management for major re-development projects.
Technical
studies completed have included soil and groundwater sampling, design and
installation of groundwater monitoring bore networks, hydrogeological and
hydrogeochemical analysis, determination of site clean-up standards and design,
implementation and validation of remedial work programs. Projects have
been undertaken for a variety of industry sectors in Australia and South East
Asia, including major power generation authorities, retail oil and gas,
