This webinar is available on demand! Sydney 2000 Olympics were the catalyst for Sydney Olympic Park's (SOP) transformation from a badly degraded area into a world-recognised environmental showpiece. Successful remediation of 160 hectares of contaminated land and on-site containment of nine...

A key consideration in the assessment of contaminated groundwater is the background concentration of analytes that may occur naturally in the groundwater system. Desktop review of publicly available data or installation and sampling of an upgradient groundwater monitoring well are routinely...

After an environmental major catastrophe in Brazil in 2019 (Project X), there was a need to to perform studies and provide support for an area of 2,500 km², which was only possible by improving the existing database and creating more digitally enabled tools for qualifying, evaluating, and...

Cap and contain is one of the preferable remediation strategies when the site is heavily contaminated, rendering treatment and removal options impotent. Containment system construction faces multifaceted constraints when the site is going to be utilised as an industrial site with different...

The Crown Sydney at, 271.3 m is the tallest building in Sydney and is located on a site contaminated by historical activities, including land reclamation and gasworks. To reduce overall project duration, it was built using an intricate ‘top-down’ method, with Ward’s bulk and detailed excavation...

Hear from the Winslow Infrastructure team on their approach to Land and Spoil Management, from small works to major projects.

Natural Source Zone Depletion (NSZD) is increasingly becoming a consideration as a more sustainable nature-based option for the management of petroleum contaminated sites. Contemporary guidance on its measurement and implementation has now been published globally, with a series of associated...

This is an overview, mainly through a contaminated land lens, of the impacts of Cyclone Gabrielle on Hawke’s Bay, focusing on the event itself, the waste generated, the recovery so far and some reflection on the bigger picture. With severe weather events becoming more common, Sarah and Dave will...

This session will present the challenges involved in the design, construction and utilisation of horizontal drilling for remediation purposes. Specifically, it will present a case study conducted in the Botany Bay area, NSW, where Modified Fenton Reagents (MFRs) were used to target a TEX plume. We...

This session will review the ways in which the Macdonaldtown Gasworks Remediation satisfied the three pillars of sustainability: economic, environmental and social. The review will also provide project examples demonstrating some of the principles of A Framework for Assessing the Sustainability of...
