Contaminated soil occurs when hazardous substances are present at levels that pose a risk to human health or the environment. This can include asbestos fragments, chemical residues, construction waste, or other contaminants resulting from historical land use, demolition, or industrial activity.
Contaminated soil is not always visible, but disturbance during excavation, construction, or landscaping can release hazardous materials and create serious safety concerns. When disturbed during excavation or redevelopment, contaminated soil can pose significant risks to both human health and the environment, as outlined in the EPA Victoria contaminated land guidance.
Soil removal may be required:
At Bison Asbestos Removal, we assess contaminated soil conditions carefully and determine the safest and most appropriate removal approach for each site.
Where contamination is suspected, soil may be tested to identify asbestos fragments or other hazardous substances. Testing helps determine the extent of contamination and informs the appropriate removal and disposal strategy.
Results are used to guide safe handling procedures and ensure compliance with relevant environmental and safety requirements.
Contaminated soil removal is carried out using controlled excavation and handling techniques to minimise the spread of contaminants. Soil is securely contained, transported, and disposed of at approved facilities authorised to accept contaminated material.
Our team manages contaminated soil removal for residential, commercial, and industrial projects, ensuring work is completed safely and responsibly.
Removing contaminated soil is not a do-it-yourself task. Improper handling can spread contamination and increase health and environmental risks.
