Tailored Contaminated Land Remediation Plans

Each contaminated site tells a different story and requires a unique, tailored approach.

Sometimes it’s asbestos fragments through fill. Sometimes it’s a legacy industrial site with hydrocarbons, heavy metals, or a mix of both. Sometimes it’s a development site where nobody knew there was a problem until the excavator turned up something it shouldn’t have.

Each project considers a range of factors that are unique and require a tailored approach, including:

  • The history of the land
  • What was built on it
  • What was buried under it
  • What ran across it


Each of these factors informs what is required. Getting any one of these wrong creates cost. Getting several of them wrong stops the job. It’s not a space for guesswork. Contaminated land remediation requires an experienced team who understands how to properly identify what’s on the site, classify it correctly, and carry out compliant disposal.

Practical Solutions from Experienced Professionals

Gallant manages contaminated land works across a broad range of environments. From sites with asbestos-impacted soil through to broader contamination scenarios involving multiple contaminants of concern.

We’ve delivered for Tier 1 builders, civil contractors and government utilities across NSW and the ACT.

Most of what we do happens alongside environmental consultants and project teams. We work with them rather than around them to develop and implement practical remediation solutions that meet regulatory standards and keep the project on track; which is key to meeting deadlines.

We know from experience that contaminated land work has a way of becoming the thing everyone’s waiting on. The difference between a job that runs and a job that drags is usually in how well it’s been thought through before anyone turns up to site.

Our Case Studies

Contaminated Land Remediation | Asbestos in Soil

The Project

Gallant was engaged to remediate a contaminated site where non-friable asbestos had been identified within the soil. Working under strict SafeWork NSW requirements, our team established controlled work zones, implemented environmental and occupational hygiene controls and carried out the full excavation and disposal programme.

The Scope 

In total, 403 tonnes of asbestos-impacted soil was removed and disposed of at a licensed facility. During excavation an unforeseen subsurface concrete pool structure was identified and classified as general solid waste. Gallant moved quickly to manage the additional scope, demolishing and disposing of a further 53 tonnes of material without impacting the project programme.

The Precaution Measures 

Independent air monitoring was conducted throughout by Red Ohms, with validation and clearance sampling completed by JK Environmental on completion. 

The Outcome

The project was delivered safely on schedule and in full regulatory compliance.

Why choose Gallant Contracting?

Quoted properly, before work starts. If anything changes or comes up during the process, you’ll hear about it before the scope is altered, not after.

Operators with real experience across hazardous materials, civil works and commercial construction. Decisions get made quickly on site because the people making them have been there before.

ISO-certified safety, environmental and quality systems. EPA waste tracking handled properly. Documentation that holds up when the regulator, the consultant or the principal contractor wants to see it.

We work well with environmental consultants, project teams and other contractors on site. Clear communication and a desire to solve the problem in front of us.

Contaminated land work has a habit of becoming a critical path if it’s not managed well. We plan around the programme, sequence the works to suit the wider project, and resource the job properly so it doesn’t become the thing everyone’s waiting on.
