Waste Classification Services

Soil wastes can be a burden to construction and development projects. We assess the soils whether it be fill or natural materials and provide the lateral and vertical extent of classified soils. K2E can assist you in pre-excavation stages of your project to determine the volume of waste soil types and also in excavated materials (stockpiles).

K2E undertakes waste classification in accordance with Protection of the Environmental Operations (Waste) regulation 2014 and undertakes intrusive soil sampling and investigation to determine the type of waste which include but not limited to:

1. General Solid Wastes
2. General Solid Wastes – Recyclable
3. Excavated Natural Materials
4. Excavated public road material
5. Virgin Excavated Natural Material
6. Recovered Aggregate
7. Recovered Construction Fines (batch and continuous)
8. Reclaimed Asphalt Pavement
9. Recovered Railway Ballast
10. Treated Drilling Mud
11. Special Waste

Consultants at K2E undertake a systematic and exhaustive approach in classifying soils, as it can be a huge savings to the project if lesser quantity is sent to the landfill or waste recovery centre, while still meeting the regulations.

Our consultants can supervise your excavation operations during soil removal to ensure that soils of various classifications are managed accordingly.
