Environmental consultants for complex sites and projects.

Confluence Environmental was engaged by a Tier 1 contractor to undertake a targeted contamination assessment to support a substation upgrade and electrical infrastructure works. The investigation addressed data gaps from a previous Preliminary Site Investigation and assessed contamination risks associated with proposed bulk earthworks, enabling the project to proceed without further contamination constraints.

Confluence Environmental completed 38 asbestos surveys and registers across a geographically dispersed NSW asset portfolio, from Lake Macquarie to Kempsey and west to Muswellbrook. The engagement was undertaken to support insurance renewal requirements, with assessments delivered across sensitive, publicly accessible facilities including retail, industrial and office environments.

Confluence Environmental was engaged to undertake a hazardous materials survey and register alongside a comprehensive Preliminary Site Investigation for a 2-hectare former abattoir site constructed in the 1960s. The assessment addressed complex legacy building materials and historical land use to support decommissioning planning, flood mitigation works and development application lodgement with Central Coast Council.

Confluence Environmental undertook a Preliminary Site Investigation for a Somersby property proposed for redevelopment as a function centre, in response to matters raised through the NSW Land and Environment Court. The assessment evaluated historical horticultural land use and potential contamination risks to support planning decisions and regulatory confidence.

Confluence Environmental was engaged by a NSW-wide industry insurer to assess potential lead dust contamination following concerns regarding elevated lead in settled dust within ceiling spaces. The project involved lead dust assessment and air monitoring across 15 buildings over two Lake Macquarie sites, supported by the development of a staged remediation management plan to guide risk control and remediation works.

Confluence Environmental was engaged following civil excavation works to assess and manage friable asbestos-contaminated soil identified during retaining wall reconstruction. Services included asbestos delineation, remediation planning, waste classification, air monitoring and clearance, with long-term site management implemented through capping and updated asbestos documentation.

Rapid emergency environmental assessment following the Koolewong bushfires on the Central Coast NSW identified friable asbestos contamination on access roads. Confluence Environmental delivered urgent risk management, air monitoring, and clearance enabling safe reopening within 48 hours.

Industrial precincts can present contamination risks even where potentially contaminating activities have not occurred directly on the site. Confluence Environmental completed a Preliminary Site Investigation for a proposed commercial development in Port Kembla, NSW, identifying potential risks associated with historical industrial emissions, hazardous building materials and localised hydrocarbon impacts. The assessment established the Conceptual Site Model and provided the basis for targeted further investigation and management to support the proposed development.

Large-scale renewable energy projects can extend across diverse geological settings and land-use histories, creating a range of potential environmental constraints. Confluence Environmental completed a Preliminary Site Investigation for a major wind farm development in regional NSW, identifying key Areas of Environmental Concern and potential contamination and naturally occurring mineral risks across the project area. The assessment established the Conceptual Site Model and provided the technical basis for targeted further investigation and environmental management as the project progressed.

Redevelopment of historically used land can require early consideration of potential contamination to understand whether it may constrain the proposed land use. Confluence Environmental completed a Preliminary Site Investigation for a proposed mixed-use development in NSW, identifying key Areas of Environmental Concern and developing the Conceptual Site Model for the site. The assessment established the basis for targeted further investigation and provided a clear pathway for progressing the development through the contaminated land assessment process.

Redevelopment of established public land can require consideration of historical fill, former structures and building-related contamination risks. Confluence Environmental completed a Preliminary Site Investigation for a Council-managed site in Muswellbrook, NSW, identifying the key Areas of Environmental Concern and developing the Conceptual Site Model for the proposed works. The assessment established a proportionate pathway for managing the identified risks and informed the environmental requirements for subsequent development activities.
