SEMF’s involvement in the Austins Ferry Timber Yard project highlights an ongoing commitment to site remediation best practice.
SEMF is leading the charge in the site remediation arena through its work on the Austins Ferry Timber Yard in Hobart. The health risks sparked by contaminated soil have created new urgency around the site remediation process and intensified the need for precise execution of remediation projects.
SEMF provided project management services as well as technical and monitoring expertise for the remediation of 20 hectare timber yard, in the historic Hobart suburb of Austins Ferry. This process saw SEMF locate and dispose all contaminated soil and facilitate rezoning of the land from industrial to residential, moves that successfully eliminated human health and environmental risk.
SEMF also conducted a site-wide subsurface investigation to accurately map contaminated zones and refine estimates for decontamination.
