Economic Development Queensland commissioned Liberty Industrial to remediate an 80,000m3 asbestos- contaminated site for a new road alignment as part of the Northshore Hamilton Urban Development Project - a large waterfront urban renewal project in Brisbane, Queensland. The detailed scope of works included site preparation, vegetation clearing, environmental controls, earthworks, excavation and disposal of asbestos- containing soil, reinstatement of surfaces and traffic management.
Robust solutions
