SA land with fill - Previously asbestos contaminated HELP!
Page 1 of 1
Long story short we have found a block of land we like in Littlehampton, Adelaide Hills SA.
The owner has subdivided land into 3 blocks. When the did soil testing it was found out that the land was previously a dumping ground for building waste - ie bricks and ASBESTOS....
The owners have subsequently removed most of the soil (about 5-6m deep) from most of all three blocks and replaced with clean fill that is independently tested and compacted to level 1 Australian standard.
So, my question is - should we do our own independent soil testing considering we have both pre and post reports of the soil/fill from LABSA?
Is this block of land worth pursuing or should we run a million miles?! The middle block is under contract so we assume it may be ok but we shouldnt trust anyone??
Any advice, insight, thoughts would be appreciated. Any names of soil testing companies that work in the Adelaide Hills?
Thanks

If I was going to be building on that depth of fill I would be thinking of screw piles (see Thanks for responses. The search continues.....

That brown colour looks like Masonite or hardboard. Get it checked but typically asbestos was used in wet areas and plaster board or Masonite in other areas
