Environmental Remediation

McMahon Services is an industry-leading and award winning remediation services contractor. Our remediation services offer you complete solutions for the clean-up of brownfield sites. Our success is based on innovation, experience and exceptional operational standards and procedures.

The McMahon Services environmental remediation team has the proven track record and expertise to tackle any phase of a remediation project, from site assessment and community relations activities to on-site remedial treatment, excavation and removal, waste management and next stage civil and building works. We handle a broad range of soil contaminants including petroleum hydrocarbons, solvents, pesticides, asbestos, lead and other heavy metals.

Our focus on innovation means we are at the forefront of delivering new techniques and methods to minimise the overall cost of remediation activities and reduce our impact on the environment.

McMahon Services, in partnership with Integrated Waste Services, have set a new benchmark in the treatment of High Level Contaminated Waste with the design and development of the first facility in Australia able to receive and treat this category of waste. Our leading edge plant and equipment, from our Komatsu Reterra mobile soil conditioning unit and quick fill water tanks through to our noise, vibration and dust monitoring equipment, carbon filters and vacuums, ensures we operate efficiently and effectively, and to strict regulatory guidelines.

Every project commences with a full risk assessment before moving on to detailed project planning and implementation, and thorough documentation of all soil movements with associated testing and monitoring.
