A Win for the Environment

“AS AUSTRALIA PROGRESSES ITS INFRASTRUCTURE BOOM REQUIRING TUNNELLING AND DEEP EXCAVATION, WE ARE INCREASINGLY DIVERTING AND REPURPOSING MILLIONS OF TONNES OF SOIL.”

IN A WIN FOR THE ENVIRONMENT, RMS HELPS BREATHE NEW LIFE INTO LANGWARRIN SAND QUARRY

ResourceCo Material Solutions (RMS) is proud to have clocked up the significant milestone of having re-purposed over 2 million tonnes of fill material to the Langwarrin sand quarry rehabilitation project.

In a win-win for its clients and the environment, RMS has been able to re-use significant volumes of material generated by a range of key Victorian infrastructure projects.

CEO Material Solutions Steve Harrsion says the business is delighted to be providing an end-to-end solution in the removal and repurposing of soil material generated by a range of projects across Victoria’s southeast.

Those include the Southern Program Alliance, the Western Program Alliance and the Dandenong 9 – all part of the Level Crossing Removal Project (LCRP), as well as the Monash Widening (Stage 2). “

We are able to provide a complete material removal, transport and disposal service for these significant construction projects, while at the same time actively contributing to the rehabilitation of another site.

Steve says the company is particularly proud of its partnership with Hanson at the Langwarrin sand quarry, which has seen it make a substantial contribution to the ongoing rehabilitation of the site – to date an estimated 20% of the total fill volume required as part of rehabilitation works.

“We pride ourselves on building solid relationships that deliver strong social and environmental outcomes, while ensuring cost-effective solutions for all our clients.”

RMS is backed by industry leading risk management systems, including real-time material tracking and full material chain of custody, as well as having access to a transport fleet of more than 1000 vehicles.

“We’re able to tailor solutions to our clients’ varying needs and capacity, whether that’s for the government, a tier 1 company or a private company seeking solutions to their fill material disposal needs,” Steve says.

“As Australia progresses its infrastructure boom requiring tunnelling and deep excavation, we are increasingly diverting and repurposing millions of tonnes of soil.”

“We’re effectively adding value to otherwise discarded materials and that’s a great result in terms of progressing circular outcomes.”
