Fyfe provides practical and cost-effective environmental services, including contaminated land assessment, remediation and management, ecological investigations, and environmental engineering solutions. Our highly experienced team of environmental scientists and engineers are dedicated to responding professionally and rapidly with a service that’s customised to your requirements.
Areas of specialisation
In February 2025, leading environmental firm NGH, joined Fyfe.
With a combined environmental team of 175 professionals across 27 offices Australia-wide, the partnership broadens Fyfe’s environment and sustainability services.
NGH services both built and natural environments and have an outstanding reputation for conducting social and environmental impact assessments, securing environmental planning approvals, providing Aboriginal and heritage services, engaging with communities, and performing environmental monitoring and audits. Their services complement our own, and their expertise will provide Fyfe with opportunities for which we have previously had to rely on subcontractors.
Together, we remain steadfast in our commitment to delivering high-quality, sustainable solutions.
Fyfe and NGH will continue to operate under their respective brand names, with a future vision of unified branding reflecting their combined strengths.

- Onsite repository / encapsulation / capping
- Soil vapour mitigation systems
- Monitored Natural Attenuation of groundwater plumes
- Natural Source Zone Depletion of NAPL
- Validation of remedial works and regulatory close out
- Evaluation of financial risk due to site contamination management and remediation
- Site-specific and construction environmental management plans
- Acid sulfate soils management plans
- Dewatering management plans
- Site management plans
- Emergency incident response.
Fyfe’s EPA appointed statutory site contamination auditors are experts in streamlining the sign-off of statutory and regulatory projects. Such requirements commonly arise after a polluting event, identification of significant contamination, or when a landowner seeks to redevelop industrial or potentially contaminated land for a more sensitive purpose, such as residential.
Environmental due diligence is an important consideration when purchasing land or property. The purchaser needs to recognise liabilities for contamination, or the status of environmental compliance.
Our auditing and due diligence services include:
- Statutory site contamination auditing
- Expert witness – site contamination and remediation
- Sign-off of sampling and analysis plans and remedial action plans
- Health, safety and environmental audits
- Baseline / pre-occupation and exit environmental condition reports
- Due diligence for mergers and acquisitions
- Portfolio risk assessment and gap analysis
- Quantification of environmental liabilities
- Desktop studies for due diligence purposes (review of existing information)
- Environmental site assessments for due diligence purposes
- Review of environmental compliance in accordance with regulations.
Our environmental engineers have extensive experience working with planners, developers, constructors, and government agencies for their infrastructure environmental needs. In addition to environmental assessment and management services, we also provide the following:
- Stormwater quality management assessment (utilising MUSIC software)
- Geographic information systems (GIS) services
- Environmental data management
- Sediment, erosion and drainage management plans (SEDMPs) inclusive of:
- Detailed plans providing assessment, implementation and monitoring requirements
- Provision of on-site inspection services (pre and during construction)
- Detailed design and accompanying documentation for watercourse crossings (including self-assessable waterway barrier works (QLD)
- Compliance assessment and incident management
- CPESC review and certification of ESC plans.
