Project Delivery

Project Outline

•Previous works have been undertaken to form the reclaimed land on which

Laing O’Rourke will construct the working container facility

•Link in with proposed intermodal rail network to get trucks off the road and

ease traffic congestion.


Construction Environmental Management Plan (CEMP)

•Environmental management is paramount to all of our business activities.

•The CEMP provides the high level governance framework for environmental

management on the Project and is supported by a number of issue specific

Sub-Plans.

•The project will report on compliance with the CEMP.


Soil and Water Quality Management

Objectives: Ensure that water quality is maintained and that erosion is

effectively managed.

Controls: Drainage outlets

Stormwater Quality Improvement Devices (SQIDs)

Sediment ponds

Onsite controls

Water monitoring


Soil and Water Quality Management - Drainage Outlets

•Install silt curtain around the

drainage outlet area.

•Build a sandbag wall around the

drainage pipe location to

separate the work zone from

Botany Bay and Penrhyn

Estuary.

•Leave and maintain the silt

curtain around the outlet.


Soil and Water Quality Management - SQIDs

•The SQIDS are located at various

points throughout the site with all

drainage passing through a SQID.

•Separates fine particulate suspended

solids and hydrocarbons.

•SQID Installation gives a permanent

controlled stormwater system for the

site.

Soil and Water Quality Management - SQIDs



Soil and Water Quality Management – Sediment Ponds

•Temporary sediment ponds shall be

constructed on site to allow capture and

reuse of construction water on site.

•Sediment ponds will be inspected regularly

and following all rainfall events.

Soil and Water Quality Management – General Protection Measures

Other general sediment and erosion controls will include the following:

• Silt curtains

• Sediment fences

• Sandbags and sediment socks

• Stockpile protection

• Concrete washout locations

• Minimise trafficked areas

• Wheel wash

• Erosion sediment control plans

• Inspections



Soil and Water Quality Management – General Protection Measures

Soil and Water Quality Management – Monitoring

•Water quality monitoring will be undertaken inside the estuary and Botany Bay

during construction works.

•This will be undertaken to give real-time data and to allow us to ensure we protect

the surrounding environment.


Air Quality and Dust Management


Objectives: To ensure dust management is maintained and managed

effectively to prevent negative environmental impact.

Controls: Water Carts

Dust Suppression Sealant

Minimise Vehicle Speeds

Air Quality and Dust Management - Controls


•Water carts will be employed full time to the site to mitigate dust issues.

•Water misting will also be employed on site via a series of hoses across the

site.

•All plant and equipment to be maintained in good working order to limit the

emission of smoke and dust.


•Ground sealants will be used on site for unsealed areas.

•After application, the water evaporates leaving a crust on top of the material so it

will minimise the effect of wind blowing the material off site.

•Traffic speeds will be minimised to avoid creating dust from access roads.

•All vehicles transporting materials are to be covered after loading to prevent wind

blown dust emissions and spillage.

•Dust monitoring will be undertaken during the works via a series of dust

deposition gauges set up around the project area.

•A real time air quality monitor will also be used on site to give instant results at

specific locations for works on site.


Noise and Vibration Management


Objectives: To ensure that construction noise and vibration is managed

effectively to prevent any negative impact on surrounding

receivers.

Controls: Construction hours

Monitoring

Inspections

Correct equipment

Noise and Vibration Management – Approved Working Hours

Approved working hours are;

• 7:00 am to 6:00 pm, Mondays to Fridays, inclusive;

• 8:00 am to 1:00 pm on Saturdays; and

• at no time on Sundays or public holidays.

Approval from Department of Planning is required to conduct construction

activities audible at residential premises outside the hours stated above.


Noise and Vibration Management – Monitoring

•Noise monitoring will be undertaken regularly during the construction of the

project.

•Construction equipment monitoring will be undertaken to ensure all plant and

equipment is running as designed.

•Regular checks are to be undertaken to ensure all equipment and vehicles are in

good working order and are operated correctly.


Noise and Vibration Management – Site Controls

Site controls for noise mitigation will include:

• Efficient and silenced exhaust systems

• Non-tonal reversing alarms

• Installation of the permanent noise barrier along northern and eastern

boundaries of the site

• Undertaking loading and unloading activities away from sensitive areas and

wildlife in Penrhyn Estuary areas and during designated construction hours.


Noise and Vibration Management – Noise Walls


Traffic Management – Haulage Routes


All heavy vehicles including medium rigid trucks up to articulated vehicles would

travel to Foreshore Road using arterial roads namely M5, General Holmes Drive

and Southern Cross Drive.

Traffic Management – Access Signage


To assist with entry and exit to the site, construction signage would be placed

prior to the intersection on Foreshore Road.

Emergency and Incident Response

It is our aim to ensure incident planning and response procedures are managed

effectively during construction by outlining the general procedures for initiating an

emergency response that could occur.

Emergency procedures include safety and environmental aspects


Flora and Fauna Management

A number of management plans have been developed for flora and fauna management

including:

• Bird Hazard Management Plan

• Feral Animal Management Plan

• Shorebird Management Plan

• Penrhyn Estuary Construction Method Statement

Penrhyn Estuary

As part of our commitment to the environmental well being of the Penrhyn Estuary,

we have engaged specialist consultants, Avifauna and Dragonfly Environmental, to

aid in development of specific Construction Method Statements for any works

bordering the estuary.

Project Communications – Notifications

Notification will be given prior to the commencement of works. The notification will

be distributed to residents, businesses and other project stakeholders.

Notifications will include information regarding:

• Time of works

• Date of works (duration)

• Specific information of works to be undertaken

• Mitigation strategies (where relevant)

• Project contacts

• All notifications will be recorded in the Project communications database.
