Case Study

Land Remediation and Reclamation

Client: Hannas Group
Location: Enfield, NSW
Project Type: Land Reclamation and Remediation
Duration: 2 Years
Scope of Work:
The Hannas Group acquired this property in 1999, with a view to future development. The site comprises 8.1 ha (81,000m2) and was formerly a location for the extraction of clay for brick making. Remediation and reclamation of the site involves the importation and placement of around 1 million cubic metres of engineered fill, to bring the former extraction area back to its original ground level.

Associated works include stabilisation of the pit walls, the removal of around 500 million litres of water from the pit, geological mapping and recording for education purposes of an igneous dyke (a heritage geological formation on the site) and the construction of new habitats to enhance the survival prospects of a Green and Golden Bell Frog colony, which is classified as an endangered species. This project won Hannas a CCF Case Earth Award.
