As a result of urbanisation and the need for commercial development space throughout Australia, encroachment onto former or operational landfill locations is occurring. On many occasions, the proximity of the development to the landfill site has resulted in an unacceptable risk to occupants from the potential migration of landfill gas (LFG) and other hazardous ground gas (HGG).

On behalf of our clients, we identify, characterise, and remediate the areas around these developments, and we manage the implementation of mitigation systems for development directly on top of landfill sites.

Geosyntec practitioners build comprehensive HGG management services to help our clients meet their compliance obligations and find cost-effective and compliant solutions to manage environmental risk and design infrastructure.

To maintain current knowledge and keep abreast of possible regulatory changes that could affect our clients, we maintain strong and effective working relationships with regulatory bodies and industry associations. With strategic long-term alliances with skilled and experienced Civil Engineering Contractors, we provide clients with turnkey solutions for design and implementation of environmental controls on current and future projects.
