PFAS contamination is not confined to water. It is a growing land quality issue with direct implications for development, transactions and regulatory compliance. Because PFAS do not naturally degrade, they persist in soil, migrate to groundwater and can enter the food chain. For landowners and developers, this raises complex questions around liability, duty of care and long-term risk management. Common sources of PFAS to soil and groundwater include fire fighting foams, sewage application and accidental spills. Identifying historical activities is often the starting point for understanding potential exposure. In the latest blog by colleagues Edwin de Baat and Bart Hoogenberg, we outline a structured approach: preliminary assessment, targeted soil investigation, source tracing and evaluation of remediation options such as excavation, soil washing, thermal treatment or immobilization. There is no universal solution. Each site demands a context-specific strategy grounded in regulation, technical feasibility and sustainability. At Haskoning, we support clients with end-to-end land quality services and long-term PFAS management planning.

Could AI data centres unlock Australia’s renewable energy hubs? Australia has no shortage of ambitious renewable energy projects, but few gigawatt-scale developments have reached FID. One challenge is securing sufficient long-term demand. Sustainable AI data centres could change that. Their large, reliable power demand could help anchor investment in renewable generation, storage and infrastructure, particularly in remote regions. In my latest blog, I explore what this could mean for Australia’s renewable energy hubs and future hydrogen and sustainable fuels projects.
