This article will discuss how consultant-led strategies have delivered value across a range of challenging projects, using our own case studies to demonstrate innovation in action.

Case Study: Albion Park Bypass Extension

In the Albion Park Bypass Extension project, Raw Earth Environmental conducted a Detailed Site Investigation (DSI) to assess potential environmental impacts. The team implemented advanced risk assessment tools to evaluate contamination levels, enabling the development of effective mitigation strategies. This proactive approach ensured the project's success while safeguarding environmental and public health. 

Case Study: Londonderry Car Wreckers Site

Raw Earth Environmental transformed a heavily contaminated car wreckers site in Londonderry through expert remediation and site validation. The consultants conducted thorough site assessments to identify contamination hotspots, including asbestos and hydrocarbons. By developing targeted remediation strategies, the team ensured compliance with environmental regulations, facilitating the site's redevelopment. 

Case Study: Schofields Encapsulation Cell Design & Construction

In Schofields, Raw Earth Environmental managed the design and construction of an encapsulation cell to safely contain 13,000m³ of contaminated soil.
