Contaminated Land Remediation

NPC delivers proactive and comprehensive management of contamination assessment and remediation projects.

Key issues on contaminated land projects can be:

Ensure consent terms are consistent with planned remediation activities
Craft tender and contract documents carefully to encourage flexibility and transparency
Manage works contracts tightly and stay close to the site activities
Cross boundary contaminated ground water flow is a critical issue
Integrate remediation activities into the wider development program – seek synergies
Implement and maintain a comprehensive documentation record library
Be prepared to manage the unexpected

Define and document the commercial and regulatory strategy required to safeguard the landowner’s interests
Understand the local, state and federal legislation which impacts current and proposed development activity
Judicious selection of specialist environmental consultants, contractors and site auditor
Review and challenge all specialist recommendations
Create a collaborative environment within the project team to foster real discussion and optimal outcomes
Thoroughly review all reports before distribution – to ensure consistency with strategy – a project manager who acts merely as a post box does not serve the landowner’s interests
Consult and involve key stakeholders and approval authorities early
Set targets, drive outcomes – don’t let others hijack the landowner’s
agenda
