Update on preliminary works

The waste removal contract has been signed and Acumen Waste Services Ltd are now preparing enabling works ahead of the waste removal activities, planned to commence at the end of February.

This includes:

Continued waste sampling in several locations. Pits are being excavated at different depths to get a cross section of the waste materials. We will use this sampling to ensure it can be removed safely and sent to the appropriate legal waste disposal facilitates.

Providing safe and secure access. Scoping work has begun to lay tracks for heavy vehicle access. Necessary site tree clearance works are being planned, and they will commence at the end of January.

Site compound and welfare facilities set up. Acumen are preparing for setting up the site compound and welfare facilities for site-based staff. These works will commence early February and will last approximately 2 weeks.
