Irwin Hills Vegetation Clearing & Topsoil Stockpiling

Stripping and stockpiling of topsoil at Irwin Hills ahead of mining development, with stockpiles constructed to preserve biological viability for future rehabilitation.

Selected optimal stockpile locations to minimise re-handling distances. Constructed stockpiles to approved heights with gentle batters and drainage features to prevent erosion.

The remote Irwin Hills location presented logistical challenges for equipment mobilisation and stockpile site selection. Preserving topsoil quality across an extended stockpile period required sound stockpile construction practices.

Established well-constructed, compliant topsoil stockpiles at Irwin Hills, safeguarding the growth medium required for eventual rehabilitation and meeting all regulatory stockpiling requirements.
