By introducing a comprehensive, centralised waste disposal management solution across multiple geographies and business units, we are helping our client introduce efficiencies and cost savings. Without an appropriate waste disposal management solution, companies face several operational, workforce, and environmental challenges (i.e., health and safety concerns, pollution, and contamination), alongside disposal costs.
GHD has done great work on the waste program, they are fully incorporated with operations and did a great job managing the day to day. They have also found creative ways to minimise waste and save us money."

Major Oil & Gas Company
The challenge
Our oil and gas client had an internal residual management group, which consisted of around 20 employees and 30 to 50 separate vendors who managed all waste related to their supply and distribution (i.e., operational waste, spill waste, and project waste).
Eventually, this operational structure became too expensive and unorganised for our client. More importantly, as expenses mounted and many stakeholders overlapped during day-to-day operations, it became difficult for our client to ensure regulatory compliance, specifically in the Western region of the United States and the Gulf of Mexico.
Our response
The team from our Digital and Waste Services groups customised disposal management and compliance services, built to deliver the following components:
- Respond to residual pickup requests
- Provide single points of contact for all vendor services for each facility
- Use approved client vendors
- Manage regulatory and generator compliance
- Minimise and reduce waste through recycling and reuse
- Leverage waste volumes to obtain preferred disposal pricing
- Consolidate monthly invoices for all services and enable submission through SAP Invoice Management
- Provide sophisticated data management and entry into GHD’s Digital tool (GHD Navigator)
- Complete compliance reporting, which followed all State and Federal requirements and deadlines (including Tier II, Annual/Biennial Waste Reporting, and Waste Minimisation Plans) for each affected site.
