Project Type

PFAS Soil Stabilisation at Defence Base

Project Summary

Delivered PFAS immobilisation treatment for contaminated soil from a former fire training ground at a defence base. The project addressed soil that exceeded landfill disposal guidelines due to high PFAS leaching levels, requiring treatment before safe disposal. Working at a local Landfill, the project implemented comprehensive environmental controls and dust management protocols suitable for sensitive ecological surroundings.

Project Outcomes

Regulatory compliance achieved for landfill disposal with >99% PFAS leachability reduction meeting stringent disposal criteria.
Environmental protection through specialised treatment area with compacted clay liner and bunding to prevent leachate runoff in ecologically sensitive location.
Efficient processing using mobile trommel screen technology with integrated oversized material removal and waste sorting capabilities.
Sustainable waste management with rocks washed and reused on-site, plastic waste sorted for recycling.
Cost-effective solution proving most economical compared to alternative treatments like soil washing or thermal destruction.
Low carbon footprint demonstrating environmental benefits over other treatment technologies.
Full regulatory approval with treated soil safely disposed to landfill with complete signoff from local authorities.
