Unique Attributes

  • Demolition and environmental management works – Newman Concentrator structure and Bone Yard clean up; Old Nursery Suction Dam; West Mine Fuel Bullets; Midway Laydown Area clean up; and South Secondary MCC Structure, Hydrosizing System, Train Loadout and Conveyor System
  • Due to the South Secondary process system utilising acid for the leaching process, there was potential for radioactive scale within the MCC structure

Key Challenges

  • Adhering to the site specific Radiation Management Plan, contaminated material/waste was placed in concrete bunding for further testing and to prevent leaching into groundwater
  • All steel and C&D waste material was decontaminated and tested prior to load out and transport
  • Unknown quantities of concrete located under the Newman Concentrator
