Scope of Work Completed

Dismantled and demolish the plant and structures associated incorporation Granulation, Ammonia, Carbon Dioxide and Urea Plants, including other redundant facilities and buildings and a stationary shiploader and associated asbestos removal from various structures.

In January 2023 Ausdecom commenced the planning and engineering works to carefully remove a 25m tall building wrapping around a live electrical substation, a 67M tall concrete circular Prill tower, and a 30m tall shiploader out on a wharf with a loading of 3T.

Works commenced in February 2023 and have continued to the present. Some of the key requirements were to demolish and remove the waste whilst working in a live operating plant, therefore not interrupting ongoing operations and consequently interrupting current customers, along with no harm to personnel or the environment, and maximising value for money all of which have all been achieved to present.
