A cleanfill is a managed facility for disposing of clean, inert material - excavated soil, concrete rubble, or rock generated by construction projects. Operating a cleanfill requires resource consent, site-specific environmental controls, and ongoing compliance management. We provide a full environmental service for cleanfill operators: from ESC and construction management planning at establishment, through to volumetric monitoring, compliance auditing, and close-out documentation.
Cleanfills are closely scrutinised by regional councils because the risk of accepting contaminated material - and the consequences of leachate reaching groundwater - are significant. Operating without current, site-specific environmental documentation is a consent breach. And because cleanfills receive material continuously, their ESC and management requirements evolve as the site’s footprint grows and drainage characteristics change. Keeping the consent current through operations requires active management, not a plan prepared at the start and filed away.
We prepare the ESC plans and CMPs needed to establish and operate a cleanfill, and stay engaged through operations to provide the monitoring, auditing, and volumetric survey work that keeps the consent current. We coordinate flocculation management where discharge quality requires treatment, liaise with the regional council on compliance matters, and produce the close-out documentation when the fill reaches capacity. Our integrated surveying capability means we track fill volumes accurately - giving operators the data they need to manage capacity, operational costs, and consent conditions across the life of the site.
