New Soil

What New Soil does

New Soil is an Australian contaminated soil remediation specialist headquartered at an EPA-licensed bioremediation facility in Cootamundra, New South Wales. The company treats hydrocarbon-, acid sulfate soil (PASS/ASS)-, heavy metal-, and chlorinated solvent-contaminated soils using three integrated modalities: biological remediation via its patented Dynamic Biopiles process (both on client sites and at its off-site NSW facility), physical remediation through cement stabilisation, activated carbon amendments and bonded asbestos handling, and chemical remediation covering neutralisation, immobilisation, reduction and oxidation including a mobile MUST unit. It also provides Built Environment Services (demolition, excavation, underground storage tank removal) to access and treat contamination, and Soil Sampling Solutions across Queensland, NSW and Victoria.

The firm was the first in Australia to introduce off-site commercially viable bioremediation and self-identifies as the only company worldwide to bioremediate gas works and tar products such as creosote and emulsion. Its technology is differentiated by preserving soil function and avoiding thermal desorption, positioning the offering as a lower-emissions alternative aligned with client scope 1, 2 and 3 sustainability targets.

New Soil generates revenue through project-based professional services priced per engagement, with custom quotations driven by contamination type, volume and site conditions. It sells directly to enterprise clients across four segments — residential and commercial construction/development, transport infrastructure, retail service station upgrades, and industrial facility demolition/redevelopment — using a consultative sales motion anchored by its website, a downloadable capability statement, and a single Australian phone line. The company is privately held, founder-led by Philip Mulvey (25+ years in soil science), and holds ISO 9001, 14001 and 45001 certifications.

Products and services

• Dynamic Biopiles (Biological Remediation) Patented bioremediation service using naturally occurring soil microorganisms to break down hydrocarbons (petrol, diesel, oils, tars) in contaminated soils. Delivered both off-site at the company's EPA-licensed facility in Cootamundra, NSW, and on client sites. Aimed at construction, infrastructure, service station and industrial redevelopment projects.
• Physical Remediation Services Client-site physical remediation using cement-based methods to encapsulate leachable contaminants such as PCBs and activated carbon amendments for organic contaminant sequestration, plus soil subgrade modification for pavements, roadways, construction pads and foundations. Includes bonded asbestos removal. Delivered to construction and infrastructure clients.
• Chemical Remediation Services Client-site chemical treatments including neutralisation of acid sulfate soils (PASS & ASS), immobilisation of metals (lead, zinc, copper, arsenic, antimony, barium), chemical reduction of chlorinated solvents and hexavalent chromium, and chemical oxidation of organic pollutants. Includes the Mobile Unit for Soil Treatment (MUST) for flexible site-based deployment. Targets industrial, infrastructure and redevelopment clients.
• Built Environment Services Early-works demolition, excavation, and underground storage tank (UST) removals to access and treat contaminated soils, reducing cross-contamination risks. Supports commercial and infrastructure projects including service station upgrades and industrial facility redevelopment.
• Soil Sampling Solutions Soil sampling services including carbon and nutrient sampling to 1m depth, soil profiling, and continuous or segmented core collection. Available across Queensland, NSW, and Victoria. Supports site assessment and remediation design for construction, infrastructure and agricultural clients.
