With more than 100 successful projects completed at Australian airport facilities, including an extensive track record of treating PFAS-contaminated soil and water at both civilian and military airfields, we are fast establishing ourselves as the leading environmental contractor in this space.
Our Experience
Working on these many projects has given our team a deep understanding of the complex airside environment. We are prepared for any challenges we may encounter, including navigating the airport and environmental approvals process at both a federal and state level. This includes the multiple regulatory frameworks we are required to comply with, where federal airports are impacting the local environment, as well as complexities around waste management pathways involving multiple jurisdictions.
Cameron Allen, our National Business Development Manager, shares, “With over a decade successfully managing PFAS contamination on airport facilities, we are best positioned to provide cost effective turnkey treatment solutions across a wide range of complex challenges and locations. We work with key stakeholders to achieve the highest level of regulatory certainty, minimising risk for our clients.”
Our Services
We offer a complete suite of PFAS treatment services starting with site remediation that includes immediate make-safe following environmental incidents through to large scale remediation projects and site preparation for airport development projects.
For water treatment, we design, construct, operate and maintain Water Treatment Plants including the management of NDD Waste generated through other airport activities. We can offer both pumped and passive waste treatment solutions. These solutions, coupled with our EnviroLock® reagent library, means we can offer the best-value solutions to our clients.
Ben Kay, our Innovation Manager, explains, “Our proven experience in managing a range of PFAS-impacted materials helps us stay technology-agnostic and flexible, allowing us to respond quickly to changing environmental regulations. We provide bespoke solutions to suit our clients.”
Our Equipment
Besides services, our airport projects also benefit from our extensive fleet of specialised equipment and relevant licences ensuring sustainable and economical solutions. Using our existing plant and equipment mitigates safety and quality risks, with established safe operating procedures and proven success ensuring consistent application on any airport site.
We maintain and operate equipment suitable for treating large volumes of PFAS contaminated soil, significant volumes of construction and surface water contaminated with PFAS, and NDD slurry and sludge, all proven to operate within the stringent airside environment including consideration of Foreign Object Debris (FOD), Airspace Protection and Obstacle Limitation Surface (OLS). Besides, our newest soil treatment equipment is designed to mitigate dust generation – a critical risk at airports.
Tom O’Callaghan, our Regional Manager for Water in VIC/SA/TAS, says, “Some of our PFAS Water Treatment Plants have been operating at airports sites for close to a decade, a testament to their durability and efficiency. We also have WTPs that are running entirely on solar power, proving to be not only a cost-effective energy delivery option but allowing fully remote operation on isolated aviation sites across the country.”
Our Team
Our skilled, versatile team manages all critical project aspects, from site preparation, design, installation, operation and maintenance of water treatment systems to classifying and treating waste ensuring reduced risk for our clients at the airport facilities.
With unmatched experience, a comprehensive range of treatments and specialised plant and equipment our team is here to support the airport sector with PFAS challenges.
