• Use of misting sprays and dampened stockpiles for dust suppression

Methodology

• Site set-up and creation of plant access routes
• Soft strip-out of internal elements

Upon completion, we carried out a final inspection to confirm the site was free of hazards before formally handing it over to the appointed contractor for the next stage of refurbishment.
