HMAS Harman - Remediation

New Building Project / Contamination Remediation

Awards:

MBA Environmental Management Project – Winner 2011

Dates:

January 2010 to October 2010

Principal:

Department of Defence

Superintendent:

Spotless Services Australia

Project Elements Included:

The project entailed the remediation of asbestos and other contaminants in soil located within the proposed new building development site at HMAS Harman.

Originally this project was awarded a project management contract with a managing contractor responsible for the design of the entire project. Upon investigation, the identification of contaminated material resulted in the project being delayed and redefined into two components, these being remediation of the site and then construction of the building.

Hewatt Earthworks, through Spotless Services Australia directly to the Department of Defence, was awarded the remediation of the site component on a fast track basis as a mechanism of getting the project back on program. There was an expectation that the site remediation project would be completed in a three month period, however, discovery of more contaminated material than indicated in the initial investigation and periods of wet weather resulted in significant delay, with the project completed in October 2010.
