Morgan St, Broken Hill, NSW
Client:
Country Energy
Overview:
Asbestos abatement, site remediation and associated civil works
Summary:
Removed the risks posed by asbestos impacted soils and asbestos waste on site to make the site suitable for continued use as a CE storage facility through bulk excavation and screening of approximately 20,000m³ of asbestos contaminated soils through the "Emu Picking" method. The project also included the disposal of approximately 4,000m³ of asbestos waste, validation and the re-use of approximately 16,000m³ of screened material and revegetation of 4.5Ha using the direct seeding method.
Contaminants:
Asbestos contaminated Soil
Screening of oversize material including asbestos pipe fragments using Finlay power screen.
Asbestos resin coated water pipelines identified by RMA in-situ during earthworks. Due to the active nature of the utilities, RMA placed a geofabric marker layer over pipelines prior to placement of capping material over the surface to prevent exposure of personnel to hazardous materials.
