Why Site Investigations Are Crucial for Land Use Changes When commercial or industrial land is being transformed into apartments or rural areas are subdivided for residential use, it's essential to conduct thorough site investigations. These investigations ensure the land is safe and suitable for its new purpose. Key Reasons for Site Investigations: 1. Identify Contaminants: Detect harmful substances left from previous land uses. 2. Assess Risks: Determine potential health and environmental risks. 3. Regulatory Compliance: Ensure adherence to NSW EPA and local planning regulations. 4. Remediation and Validation: Develop strategies to clean up and manage any identified contamination and provide validation post remediation to ensure the Site is suitable for occupancy under the given land use. At Hunter Environmental Consulting, we specialise in conducting comprehensive site investigations to facilitate safe and sustainable land use changes. #landusechange #siteinvestigation #environmentalconsulting #environmental #siteassessment #contaminatedland

Join us in this video showcasing the collaboration between Hunter Environmental Consulting and Hunter Civilab for a comprehensive Site Investigation. We conducted a systematic and stratified soil assessment to EPA standards, alongside groundwater investigation, specifically focusing on a redundant Underground Petroleum Storage System (UPSS) at the site. Additionally, we completed a geotechnical Site Classification with detailed footing parameters. Our #NATA accredited laboratory guarantees timely and controlled geotechnical analyses, ensuring accurate results every time. Discover how our integrated approach delivers precise insights for informed decision-making. #SiteInvestigation #EnvironmentalConsulting

Did you know - when soil (sometimes referred to as fill) is relocated across a site boundary it is immediately required to be classified in accordance with the NSW Environment Protection Authority Waste Classification Guidelines 2014. Solid waste (soil) can be classified in 1 of 3 ways; Virgin Excavated Natural Material (VENM), Excavated Natural Material (ENM), or General Solid Waste (non-putrescible). Our team can classify soil and excess building materials according to their applicable regulations in the most cost-effective way. https://bit.ly/42xtGaR

Protecting our Environment and Ensuring Community Well-Being through Environmental Monitoring. At Hunter Environmental Consulting, we offer a comprehensive range of environmental monitoring services, ensuring compliance and providing vital data for informed decision-making aimed at safeguarding the environment and promoting human well-being. Recently, we demonstrated our expertise in two diverse monitoring projects. At a local waste management facility, we employed the cutting-edge SiteHive Hexanode Multi to conduct precise air and noise monitoring. This innovative device provided real-time data on key parameters, enabling us to assess the facility’s environmental impact and ensure compliance with regulatory standards. In a separate project, we utilised the SVANTEK Vibration Meter to conduct ground vibration monitoring resultant from haulage operations within a local residential street. This involved measuring both vibration dose value and peak particle velocity to assess potential impacts on residential buildings and human comfort. Our detailed report provided the project stakeholders with crucial data to ensure the buildings’ protection from potentially damaging vibration levels and avoid nuisance vibration levels for surrounding residents. These projects showcase Hunter Environmental Consulting’s versatility and commitment to using the latest technologies. Whether it’s assessing air and noise pollution in industrial, construction or mining environments, or safeguarding historical or at-risk structures, we have the expertise and equipment to provide accurate, reliable data you can trust.
