PFAS Soil Immobilisation for Commercial Airport

Project Summary

Delivered large-scale PFAS immobilisation project at a major international commercial airport to provide a viable alternative to costly landfill disposal for large volumes of diffuse PFAS-contaminated clayey material. The project addressed the unique challenges of managing contaminated soil at an operational airport facility with millions of cubic meters of impacted material, enabling onsite treatment and reuse while maintaining airport operations.

Project Outcomes

Airport-specific solution enabling onsite soil management for international commercial aviation facility with major upcoming capital works program.
Cost-effective alternative to prohibitive landfill disposal costs for managing millions of cubic meters of PFAS-impacted soil.
Sustainable approach avoiding transport and disposal of massive soil volumes while enabling beneficial reuse.
High throughput processing at 1,000–1,500 tonnes per day, suitable for major infrastructure projects at operational airports.
>99% PFAS reduction achieving strict airport reuse criteria (≤0.4 μg/L PFOS + PFHxS) and exceeding drinking water standards.
