Overview

QUBE Logistics commissioned Liberty Industrial for demolition, remediation and site preparation works to be done in readiness for the construction of its significant infrastructure project – the Intermodal Terminal.

Challenges

  • The site’s former use as a military compound pre-dating World War II meant that the presence of unexpected finds including potential unexploded ordinance created a complex and significant risk as the works progressed.
  • The complicated nature of the project and the extensive reporting structure involved numerous stakeholders, including a multitude of government regulatory authorities and various client representatives, a project management company and many third party consultants and advisors.

Robust Solutions/Exceptional Outcomes

Robust solutions

  • Meticulous planning and extensive consultation with relevant entities.
  • Development and implementation of a comprehensive Environmental Management Program and Hazardous Material Removal Plan.
  • Development and implementation of a complex community communication strategy in cooperation with client’s Community Relations team.
  • Deployment of sizable fleet of equipment.
  • Establishment of a mobile workshop complete with maintenance staff to maintain plant and equipment.

 

Exceptional outcomes

  • The project was masterfully executed, on budget, on schedule and without injury or incident.
  • 300 buildings and large warehouses were demolished. 14 separate 5,000m² warehouses were cleared of asbestos.
  • 300,000m² of slabs and footings were demolished.
  • 140,000t of concrete was pulverised for reuse on site.
  • 90km of underground service infrastructure was excavated, demolished, removed and backfilled.
  • 150,000t of contaminated soil was excavated and remediated, sorted, segregated, bio-remediated and hauled for disposal.
  • Hazardous chemical tanks and underground storage facilities were cleaned and demolished.
  • 15,500t of materials were recycled over the course of the project including brick, concrete, asphalt, steel, mulch and other materials.
  • 110 personnel worked over 10 separate work fronts operating concurrently at the peak of the project.
