At Raw Earth Environmental, we understand that asbestos in soil is a critical environmental issue, particularly in large-scale development sites, construction sites, and industrial areas in the Central Coast. Because of this, civil contractors, developers, and construction site managers in the Central Coast must ensure the proper management and remediation of asbestos in soil. This is essential to ensure the safety of workers, surrounding communities, as well as to maintain compliance with environmental regulations.
Understanding the Health Risks of Asbestos in Soil
Asbestos can pose significant health risks when present in soil. Studies in the early 2000s revealed that the inhalation of asbestos fibres can lead to serious health issues, including but not limited to, lung cancer, asbestosis, and mesothelioma. Given such health risks, managing and removing asbestos in settings such as construction, renovation, and industrial facilities in the Central Coast is a top priority.
The Importance of Asbestos in Soil Remediation
Effective asbestos in soil remediation is essential for maintaining safe and compliant development sites in the Central Coast. Raw Earth Environmental specialises in comprehensive solutions to identify, manage, and remove asbestos contamination. Our team follows stringent regulatory guidelines to ensure safe and effective asbestos in soil remediation, minimising health risks and environmental impact.
Comprehensive Services for Asbestos in Soil Remediation
If asbestos contamination is found, your Central Coast worksite may require a Remediation Action Plan (RAP). Raw Earth Environmental will propose a range of suitable methods and steps to effectively carry out asbestos in soil remediation. This plan would strategically be carried out over a specific time frame in order to align with our client’s budgets and goals.
The RAP serves as a framework for implementing the asbestos in soil remediation process, ensuring compliance with all regulatory standards. These plans can be implemented across large-scale development sites, construction sites, as well as industrial areas in the Central Coast.
Our asbestos in soil remediation services are tailored for civil contractors, developers, and construction site managers in the Central Coast, including:

At Raw Earth Environmental, we have extensive experience handling asbestos in soil, specifically across large-scale development sites, construction sites, and industrial areas in the Central Coast. Our expertise ensures effective management of asbestos contamination, providing safe and efficient solutions for complex projects.
For a detailed example of our work, please see our Schofields Remediation Project, where Raw Earth Environmental was engaged to undertake site contamination assessments and remediation work.
The project entailed assessment and remediation of contaminated land that was to be developed for multi-storey residential land use. A Sampling, Analysis & Quality Plan (SAQP) was developed to outline the assessment of the contamination and provide a method to segregate contaminated soils from non-contaminated soils for off-site disposal. The SAQP was approved by the NSW EPA and the assessment program was completed successfully.
