Environmental management works, including delamination, drainage and conditioning of unstable ash areas; manage haul roads, independent fuel supply and satellite amenities
Geotechnical investigations and approvals to enable placement of capping material
Tipping and spreading of the ash at approved EPA Victoria storage facility
Key Challenges
High productivity and utilisation rates required to minimise ‘out of service’ time for the ash pond. Fully operational power station responsible for 30% of Victorian supply
Highly variable (ash) properties across the pond with very low geotechnical strength. Custom plant upgrades to facilitate low-ground bearing pressure specs via specialised tracks, as well as deployment of specialist amphibious plant
Strict geotechnical specifications for capping thicknesses, batter angles, plant offsets and excavation depths
