BMD – Bulimba Barracks
Remediate and Recycle ~30,000T of PFAS impacted soils, preventing the resource from being sent to landfill. The goal was to contribute to a circular economy by ensuring the resource was suitable for reuse, significantly reducing the need to import virgin resources into the project.

30,000T
Of contaminated soil recycled
2K
Truck road movements avoided
100%
Conversion from waste stream to valuable resources
Scope
BMD tasked us with the remediation of 30kT of contaminated soils for reuse. Based on the level of contamination encountered, this soil would typically be incinerated or sent to landfill. Traditional landfill disposal would contribute to environmental degradation, emitting greenhouse gases through incineration or overwhelming landfills.
RE3 solutions
By finding innovative ways to remediate and recycle the soil, RE3 is helping redefine waste management, transforming waste into a resource.
Stage 2 – Planning and Design
This stage required precision and care.
To ensure the selected remediation methodology could produce an outcome that complied with stringent environmental standards, the team carried out a planning and design phase, including:
- Site investigation and sampling
- Laboratory testing
- Detailed methodology development for endorsement by the 3rd party SQP (suitable qualified person) and CLA (Contaminated Land Auditor):
- Equipment Selection
- Treatment section (Ameliorant / Application rate)
- Testing Regime (Pre and post-processing)
Stage 3 – Project Delivery
We didn’t just move soil.
We transformed it through:
- Excavation and carting 30 kT of soil, working closely with our Customer to ensure a safe operation and avoid scheduling conflicts with the other site operations.
- Remediation:
- Load, screen and mix an ameliorant through the material to achieve the remediation outcome.
- The screening operation removed foreign objects and oversized rock from the more granular material.
- All material ( including the screened oversize) was remediated for return to the customer, ensuring all contaminated material remained on site for reuse.
- Stockpiling material for it to be tested before confirming the remediation outcome was successful and the material suitable for reuse.
Stage 4 – Reporting
Our work didn’t stop at remediation.
We provided:
- Sampling and testing of material from each stockpile
- Analysis of chemical characteristics (by 3rd Party NATA registered labs)
- A presentation of results and a summary report to the SQP / CLA for endorsement of the material’s suitability for reuse

Our Impact
It was a project beyond soil remediation.
It had a ripple effect on the community and the environment:
- 30,000 tonnes of soil was successfully validated and made suitable for reuse.
- 100% conversion from a waste stream to a valuable resource, eliminating the need for incineration or landfill.
- 2000 truck road movements were avoided – reducing traffic, noise, and pollution for the local community.
- By reusing the material – we eliminated the need for importing new materials, further reducing the environmental footprint.
Impact statement – We took a problem—contaminated soil—and repurposed it, ensuring that the soil could become a valuable resource rather than a waste burden. This project is an example of how thoughtful, strategic remediation can contribute to a cleaner environment, a circular economy, and a more sustainable future.
