Overview

Iluka Resources commissioned Liberty Industrial to deliver a two year extensive decontamination and demolition program comprising six work packages involving removal of mineral sands mining and processing facilities from across several remote locations throughout Australia. Each package comprised a significant and complex scope of work: WRP Kulwin Ouyen Process Plant Demolition, VIC Douglas Mine Site Demolition, VIC Bunbury Outer Harbour Site Demolition, WA Gingin Mine Concentrator Process Plant Demolition, WA Eneabba Mineral Sands Mine Pre- Concentrator Plant Demolition, WA Narngulu Synthetic Rutile Services Corridor Demolition, WA.

Challenges

  • Naturally Occurring Radioactive Material (NORM) required large volumes of testing, segregation and decontamination.
  • A dedicated Radiation Safety Officer surveyed all material prior to it leaving site.
  • For recyclable materials with readings above the statutory limits, a dedicated NORM wash bay was established to remove the radioactive material.
  • The project delivery team also faced the complexities of working in remote locations with staffing and logistics requiring a high degree of planning and coordination.

Exceptional outcomes

  • Close to 50,000 men hours of work were safely completed on the project without injury or incident and 95% or more than 20,000t of material was recycled with only 5% going to landfill or hazardous waste disposal facilities.
  • The project was shortlisted as a finalist for the 2020 World Demolition Awards in the ‘Industrial Demolition’ award category.
