ESP – Environmental & Safety Professionals (ESP) conducts soil testing of potentially contaminated land.  ESP environmental consultants design site-specific soil assessment strategies for a range of scenarios including environmental site assessment and environmental audit works.  Soil testing may be required for offsite soil disposal, due diligence before purchasing or selling a property, council town planning and rezoning applications and for EPA compliance.

To meet EPA offsite contaminated soil disposal requirements, soil testing must also be undertaken.  Contaminated soil disposal is required in scenarios including site contamination clean-up and remediation works (including underground storage tank removal) or when any excess soils are generated through development works.

ESP ensures all soils are tested by analytical laboratories with National Association of Testing Authorities (NATA) accreditation for reliable testing services and results. The ESP laboratory is NATA accredited for testing soils where asbestos identification is required.

Once contaminated soil has been identified, ESP performs appropriate environmental management to minimise impact on environmental and human health.
