City of Sydney

Managing contaminated land compliance

In addition to supplying City of Sydney with their automated responses system for Before You Dig, Mipela have also rolled out a solution to City of Sydney to automate and manage contaminated land compliance and reporting, using X-Info DBYD suite’s Works Management module to the City of Sydney. This solution adds an additional layer (pardon the GIS joke) of protection to human safety and the environment in and around contaminated sites.

The solution uses spatial data to automatically identify excavation risks near or within known contaminated land sites. Once identified, the respondent automatically receives an email confirming they are within the buffer zone for a known contaminated land site and are provided with a detailed site plan, Environmental Management Plan (EMP) and Site Audit Statement (SAS) – all within just a few minutes of them lodging their Dial Before You Dig enquiry.

This sort of workflow automation that can be used for all types of environmentally sensitive sites like:

• Contaminated land (PFAS, PCBs, etc.)
• Hazardous disused assets (eg. decommissioned asbestos pipes, tanks)
• Ecological regeneration sites
• Natural ecological hazards (eg. acid sulphate soils, toxic weeds, invasive species).
