Class A & B Licensed
Approved to remove asbestos-contaminated soil across Category A, B, C & D classifications.
Cost-Effective, Sustainable Solutions for Contaminated Land
Contaminated land presents a unique set of risks, and AAH treats every site as its own case. Using excavation, site scrapes, manual picking and advanced screening technology, our team removes asbestos and other contaminants from soil classified across categories A, B, C and D, protecting workers, residents and the surrounding environment.
Every project is planned around the site, its people and the controls needed to complete the work safely. AAH combines specialist crews, practical project management and reinstatement capability under one accountable team.

Our Solutions
Finding out your land has asbestos contamination presents a unique problem. Any work on site is likely to disturb the soil, exposing nearby workers and residents to harmful fibres. AAH is an approved Class A asbestos removal licence holder, meaning our team can provide Class A and B asbestos removal services, including the removal of both friable and non-friable asbestos. As an approved asbestos contractor, we supply Class A asbestos machine operators and supervisors to run your soil remediation project.
Our approach starts with assessing the extent and classification of contamination, before selecting the right combination of excavation, site scrapes, manual picking and screening technology for that site. Manual picking involves handpicking visible traces of asbestos from the soil, either by removal experts working the ground directly, or via a picking line using a speed belt and screener. Working with leading industry hygienists, we’ve delivered a large number of successful soil remediation projects over the last two decades.
Site Scrapes
Removing a controlled surface layer of contaminated soil across a site, typically used where contamination is spread across a wide, shallow area rather than concentrated in one spot.

Our Latest Soil Remediation Projects
Why does asbestos contaminated soil need to be remediated?
Asbestos contaminated soil poses a serious health risk to anyone who disturbs it. Remediation removes or contains that risk so land can be safely developed, sold, or returned to everyday use, while keeping your project compliant with EPA and WorkSafe requirements.
Who is at risk from contaminated soil?
Anyone working on or living near contaminated land can be affected, including construction crews, site visitors, residents, and neighbouring properties. Disturbing the soil during excavation or landscaping can release fibres into the air, which is why professional assessment and remediation matters.
How is soil remediation priced?
Cost depends on the site size, the extent and classification of contamination, and the remediation method required. Every project is assessed and quoted individually.
Does soil remediation need to be done by a licensed contractor?
Yes. AAH holds a Class A asbestos removal licence, permitting removal of both friable and non-friable material from soil, and works with independent hygienists to ensure classification and clearance meet EPA and WorkSafe requirements.
