Excavated Waste Protocol

Implementation of new legislation from the Environment Agency to capture and audit hazardous wasted removed from the ground during excavation activities. Results captured via a desktop risk assessment and on-site risk assessment. Sampling results will also be recorded.

Key deliverables

  • Deploy desktop and on-site risk assessment tools
  • Automate sample result capture and material classification
  • Integrate hazardous waste classification with Ontrack and Swims
  • Automate email notifications for hazardous results

Target outcomes

  • Achieve compliance with Streetworks UK Protocol
  • Enable efficient logging and classification of excavation waste

Measures of success

  • Users are able to log results on the on-site risk assessment form
  • Dektop risk asssessment is carried out automatically without user intervention
  • Sample results are captured and material classification is created in DfT automatically
  • On-site risk assessment results shared with Ontrack and Swims
  • Automated emails sent to relevant team for hazardous results

Stakeholder Engagement

Engagement with field users over the design of the on-site risk assessment form; engagement with Soilex to agree the process and design for the sample results entry/upload; engagement with SQS and WM Walsh (Ontrack and Swims) for WorMS interface changes.
