Applied Environment & Safety

Applied Environment & Safety has invested in an electric vehicle as part of our carbon neutral goals. As part of our certified carbon neutral status through Climate Active, we have implemented an Emissions Reduction Strategy which includes targets for reducing our carbon emissions over the next seven years. This included the procurement of electric vehicles as primary company cars. We have now reached that goal. More broadly, as part of our Sustainability Action Plan, we will continue to seek and implement opportunities to reduce our carbon emissions and improve our business sustainability practices.

Back to work for 2025, starting with supporting clearing and access works for a new substation and transmission line. Claire Taylor is the onsite environment advisor for these works being undertaken by Matthew Gardner and his team at ACS Australian Construction Services. Fauna spotter catchers are working with the clearing crew, and spotted a koala located on the outside of the clearing footprint.

Applied Environment & Safety are happy to be working with RECOR providing stakeholder, environmental and sustainability technical support for an options analysis of a local infrastructure project. This is a great opportunity for Applied Environment & Safety to support another local business and project in South East Queensland.

Applied Environment & Safety are happy to be supporting Downer on two new transmission line projects in Queensland. Our support involves the development of Environmental Management Plans and onsite construction environmental management advice to support the project teams deliver these important projects. Our continued work with Downer represents our depth of environmental management expertise during construction of transmission line projects.

Applied Environment & Safety are happy to assist Terrex Seismic in a review and update of their management system documents. Terrex Seismic provide geophysical seismic surveying services across Australia, often in very remote and extreme environments. We are undertaking a review of their comprehensive management system which covers health, safety and environment. We will start our review by determining a document hierarchy to categorise documents based on the level of detail.

We are excited to be supporting a client in reviewing compliance on a solar farm construction project in the Wide Bay-Burnett region of Queensland. Our environmental support includes the review of environmental and planning constraints, approval obligations and Principal Contractor management plans to ensure the project is compliant with environmental requirements. Our depth of experience in compliance and construction environmental management has allowed us to support the client to achieve compliance.

We are providing environmental support on a transmission line construction project between Dalby and Kingaroy in Queensland. This area, much of which is farmland, is free from the invasive Fire Ant. Fire Ant's have the potential to cause more damage than all of Australia's major pests combined. To support the project in managing biosecurity risks, we are managing project biosecurity controls including washdowns, inspections and education. To prevent the risk of spreading Fire Ants from biosecurity zones in South East Queensland, all vehicles accessing the project area must be free of any material that Fire Ants can form nests in such as soil, mulch, compost and manure. Project workers have also been provided with training and tools to identify and report suspected fire ants to the project Environment Team. A number of reports have been raised by project workers but luckily the nests identified belong to native ants, such as the Southern Meat Ant and the Orange-tailed Sugar Ant.

We are happy to be supporting another major transmission line project in Queensland. Applied Environment & Safety is providing construction readiness support for the upcoming commencement of works. Our environmental support includes the development of key management documents, review of contractor documents, and establishment of compliance tracking requirements. We are also supporting the client with the development of the sustainability framework and processes for implementation. Our depth of experience on environmental and sustainability risks and opportunities during construction of transmission lines has allowed us to support the client in this critical time.
