Acid sulfate soils are naturally occurring sediments and soils rich in reduced inorganic sulfides that can oxidise when exposed to air during excavation or dewatering works
Acid sulfate soils oxidation generate sulfuric acid that can adversely impact ecological and human health and engineered structures
We provide a range of acid sulfate soils services such as soil sampling and testing, acid sulfate soil management plans, treatment and remediation, and regulatory compliance.
Airport Drainage Maintenance
Our staff carried out an acid sulfate soils assessment to support environmental approvals for drainage maintenance works at a major airport in Queensland, Australia.
We completed sediment sampling along 2 kilometres alignment and laboratory testing to identify and manage acid sulfate soils removed as part of the drainage maintenance works.
Waste Station Upgrade
Our staff completed an acid sulfate soil assessment to support construction and environmental approvals for a waste station upgrade project at Archerfield Airport, Queensland, Australia.
We carried out soil borehole drilling, soil sampling and laboratory testing to delineate the presence of acid sulfate soils and help inform treatment and management options if they are disturbed during excavation works.
