Site Remediation in Auckland

Blake Civil Construction delivers site remediation services across Auckland for properties affected by soil contamination. Whether your land is on the HAIL register, flagged during a site investigation, or discovered to have contamination during earthworks — our team removes and disposes of contaminated material so your development can proceed.

What is Site Remediation in Auckland?

Contaminated land sits between you and a building consent. We handle the physical remediation work — stripping, excavating, and carting contaminated soil to licensed disposal facilities — so your site meets the National Environmental Standard for Assessing and Managing Contaminants in Soil (NESCS) and satisfies Auckland Council requirements.

  • HAIL site remediation for residential and commercial redevelopment
  • Contaminated soil excavation and removal to licensed facilities
  • Coordination with environmental consultants and testing laboratories
  • Asbestos-contaminated soil removal under controlled conditions
  • Validation sampling and documentation for council sign-off
  • Integration with broader earthworks and site preparation programmes Serving Auckland projects from former orchards and farmland through to industrial brownfield redevelopment.

Auckland property owners and developers from Coatesville to Warkworth trust Blake Civil Construction for contaminated land remediation that meets environmental standards and keeps projects moving.

When You Need Us

When You Need Site Remediation in Auckland in Auckland

1

HAIL Site Development

Your property is listed on the Auckland Council HAIL register and you need to remediate before building consent is granted. We work with your environmental consultant to excavate contaminated material to the depths specified in the site management plan.

2

Old Orchard or Farmland Conversion

Former orchard and horticultural land across Auckland carries legacy pesticide contamination — DDT, dieldrin, and organochlorines from decades of spraying. We strip and remove affected topsoil so the land is safe for residential development.

3

Former Industrial Site Cleanup

Old workshops, factories, and yards often leave behind hydrocarbon contamination, heavy metals, and chemical residues in the soil. We excavate contaminated material and cart it to appropriate licensed disposal facilities.

4

Petrol Station Remediation

Decommissioned fuel stations carry petroleum hydrocarbon contamination from underground storage tanks and dispensing areas. We remove contaminated soil around tank pits and fuel lines to the extent defined in the remediation action plan.

5

Asbestos Contamination in Soil

Demolition of older Auckland buildings can leave asbestos-containing material mixed into fill and topsoil. We remove asbestos-contaminated soil under controlled procedures and dispose of it at facilities licensed to accept asbestos waste.

6

Lead Paint Contaminated Soil

Properties where old buildings have been demolished or repainted over decades can have elevated lead levels in surrounding soil. We excavate and dispose of lead-contaminated material and replace it with clean fill.

7

Subdivision on Former Rural Land

Rural land being subdivided for housing often has a history of agricultural chemical use, sheep dips, or fuel storage that triggers HAIL classification. We remediate identified areas across multiple lots so the subdivision can proceed to title.

8

Unknown Contamination Discovered During Earthworks

Sometimes contamination is only found once earthworks begin — discoloured soil, buried drums, or unexpected odours. We stop, isolate the area, coordinate with environmental consultants for testing, and carry out remediation once the scope is defined.

Our Process

Our Site Remediation in Auckland Process

Blake Civil Construction follows a systematic approach for every site remediation in auckland project.

01

Review Site Investigation Reports

We review the Preliminary Site Investigation (PSI) and Detailed Site Investigation (DSI) prepared by your environmental consultant to understand the type, extent, and depth of contamination on site.

02

Develop Remediation Work Plan

Working with your consultant, we plan the excavation sequence, contamination boundaries, stockpile management, dust control, and disposal logistics before any machinery enters the site.

03

Set Up Site Controls

We establish sediment controls, dust suppression, traffic management, and stockpile areas. For asbestos-affected sites, we implement additional containment measures as required.

04

Excavate and Remove Contaminated Material

Contaminated soil is excavated to the depths and extents specified in the remediation plan. Material is loaded directly into trucks or stockpiled on sealed surfaces for testing before disposal.

05

Transport to Licensed Disposal Facility

All contaminated material is carted to facilities licensed to accept the specific contaminant type — whether that is a managed fill, contaminated soil facility, or hazardous waste site. We maintain chain-of-custody documentation for every load.

06

Validation Sampling and Reporting

After contaminated material is removed, your environmental consultant collects validation samples from the excavation floor and walls. Results confirm the site meets the required soil contaminant standards for the intended land use.
