We excel in addressing diverse waste management challenges and delivering cost-effective and environmentally sustainable solutions. Our multidisciplinary team of engineers and environmental scientists can assist with all aspects of the planning, design, operation and ultimate capping and closure of waste facilities.
Facility design and documentation
Tonkin’s can provide all of the design and documentation required to move a project seamlessly towards construction. This includes detailed design of cells, liners and associated civil and structural infrastructure.
Environmental management
Tonkin’s multidisciplinary team of engineers and environmental scientists help our clients navigate environmental regulations to provide the best outcomes for the project, as well as the environment and local community.
Stormwater engineering
Tonkin’s specialist stormwater engineers design systems to effectively manage rainwater runoff and prevent contamination of surface water.

Transfer stations
Tonkin’s structural engineers are skilled in the design of various types of waste and resource recovery facilities. We can also design structures such as office buildings and vehicle workshops.
Civil infrastructure
Tonkin’s transport engineers design roads, vehicle parking and associated civil infrastructure within landfill sites, as well as connecting intersections to local and state government roads.
Geotechnical engineering
Tonkin’s geotechnical engineers investigate aspects such as soil characteristics, slope stability and groundwater to mitigate environmental and safety risks.
Capping and closure
We help our clients plan ahead to streamline the capping and closure process. Tonkin has experience with compacted clay barriers, geosynthetic clay barriers and composite barriers. Well-planned restoration can improve ecological diversity and visual appearance of the site.
