PROJECT OVERVIEW

Major Projects Group facilitated the demolition and site remediation of two large, now redundant, water towers in Clarence Valley, NSW.

The towers themselves were 24.3 meters in height and had a radius of 7.6 meters. As well as being located in a remote location, the tanks presented a challenge due to their close proximity to neighbouring private residences and school grounds. These challenges were increased due to the high concentration of asbestos and lead contamination in the tanks.

SCOPE OF WORK

The project included the removal of asbestos and a lead coating on two 24.3 meter high water tanks, the demolition of the water tanks themselves, removal of material, and groundworks to fill in the resulting hole. 

UNIQUE CHALLENGES

 Close proximity to private residences and school grounds;

 Hazardous materials on site;

 Fire prone area; and

 Remote and hard to access site.

RESULTS

The demolition of both towers and removal of materials was completed on time, with no major incidents and minimal interference to the surrounding buildings and environment.
