Precision Environmental provides licensed contaminated soil removal and remediation services for commercial, industrial, and residential sites across Melbourne and Victoria.

Our experienced team is fully qualified to manage asbestos-contaminated soil, chemical residues, and hydrocarbon impacts, using EPA-approved procedures and the latest environmental controls. We also carry out bird picking, a surface clean technique used to remove visible asbestos fragments and debris before full-scale excavation begins.

Our Process

  1. Assessment and Classification A qualified hygienist or environmental consultant identifies contamination types and soil categories in line with EPA Victoria and IWRG621 guidance.
  2. Site Preparation We secure the area, install safety fencing, and apply dust suppression and erosion controls.
  3. Excavation and Removal Impacted soil is excavated by trained operators and loaded into lined, tracked bins or EPA-registered trucks for disposal.
  4. Asbestos Bird Picking Skilled personnel manually remove visible asbestos fragments from the surface before or during excavation to prevent cross-contamination.
  5. Transport and Disposal All waste is tracked through EPA Victoria’s electronic waste tracking system and delivered to an approved licensed facility.
  6. Validation and Backfill Independent consultants conduct sampling to confirm safe residual levels, and clean fill is reinstated where required.
