Scope
The scope of work included:
- 22,300m2 of fabric lining including geosynthetic clay liners and cushion geotextile
- 33,000m3 of cut excavation
- 16,100m2 of separation geotextile
- 7300m3 of selective clay excavation
- 33,000m3 of material processing for design requirements
- 800 metres of leachate collection system.
Outcomes
BMD worked closely with the client and consultant undertaking geotechnical investigations to prove the quality of onsite materials for use as clay liner and protection materials. This allowed specification requirements to be reduced, providing a cost- effective alternative to importing all materials.
By excavating below the subgrade, BMD was able to deliver 7,300m3 of clay material required to line the cell, providing a cost-effective alternative to importing materials.
