Barangaroo

Project

Cartage and disposal of asbestos-contaminated stockpiles at Barangaroo.

Project Scope

EMS was engaged to oversee the removal and disposal of approximately 25,000 tonnes of asbestos-contaminated waste stockpiled at Barangaroo Central, one of Sydney’s most prominent development precincts. The project demanded high-level coordination, strict safety protocols, and full compliance with environmental regulations.

Working in collaboration with Lend Lease, JBS&G Consultants, and Pure Contracting, EMS managed the safe removal, transport, and disposal of the asbestos-contaminated general solid waste. Operating under ASB2 supervision, EMS provided end-to-end oversight, from initial risk assessment through to final clearance, ensuring all works were delivered to the highest standards of safety, compliance, and environmental care.

Challenges

The team delivered a seamless, safe, and environmentally compliant outcome, with all asbestos-contaminated materials successfully tracked, transported, and disposed of at certified facilities.
