VENM & Waste Classification Assessments

Virgin Excavated Natural Material (VENM) and waste classification assessments are required to make sure that any material that has been excavated from a site doesn’t contain a potentially harmful chemicals or contaminants, the presence of which would mean specialist handling of any waste from the site.

The assessment of natural materials for re-use onsite or offsite disposal is heavily regulated by the NSW EPA.  Fortify Geotech can independently test these materials to identify any potential risk or so that you can demonstrate that the classification and disposal is in accordance with the NSW EPA Waste Classification Guidelines, 2014.
