Project Description
The project entails the construction of a continuous lined ash dump and its associated infrastructure.
The extended facility will be capable of accommodating the ash generated by Kendal until 2032.
The project further includes the construction of two dams, a stream diversion and site services, as well as the lowering of the wall of an existing farm dam.
The project will require about 109 ha to be cleared and grubbed, with almost 1.5-million cubic metres of excavation and about one-million cubic metres of fill/layerworks to be processed.
To ensure adequate environmental protection, more than 750 000 m2 of 1.5 mm high-density polyethylene liner will be used, with the same amount of 1 000 g/m² geotextile.
