PROJECT DESCRIPTION
GWE was engaged to undertake a multi-disciplinary site investigation covering site contamination, geotechnical and landfill gas.
Elevated concentrations of metals and asbestos were recorded in shallow soil materials across the site which required significant cut to waste. GWE delineated soil contaminant conditions to ensure cost-effective waste disposal was provided.
Based on findings of the landfill gas risk assessment, ground gas mitigation measures were developed which covered foundation design, passive ventilation, and a membrane.
The project design required the directional drilling of services from the site through the neighbouring closed landfill. GWE
completed additional geotechnical investigation and contaminated land sampling to ensure this proposal was technically feasible.
As part of the resource consent process GWE worked closely at the interface between the applicant, and the regulator to ensure pragmatic resource consent conditions were adopted.
GWE was retained to provide construction monitoring and validation of remediation works.
