BBN Consulting undertook contaminated soil assessment and waste classification for upgrade works at Romani Barracks in Orange, New South Wales.
The scope included systematic soil sampling across proposed excavation areas, laboratory analysis and documentation to determine the appropriate classification of material leaving the site. The assessment supported compliant transport and disposal while avoiding unnecessary costs associated with over-classifying soil.
