Civil IQ provided civil design services for the ongoing rehabilitation of the Newlands Mine closure final landforms, developing detailed design models to support progressive earthworks and drainage construction across more than 30,000 hectares.
Project Overview
Civil IQ was engaged by Glencore to prepare civil design models for the ongoing rehabilitation of Newlands Mine. The project supported progressive mine closure works across a rehabilitation area exceeding 30,000 hectares.
Working alongside construction activities, Civil IQ delivered detailed civil design models and electronic design outputs that enabled rehabilitation earthworks to proceed efficiently while supporting drainage and landform objectives.
Challenges
- Coordinating large and frequently updated datasets associated with concurrent rehabilitation earthworks.
- Delivering civil design models and electronic design outputs within short timeframes to maintain construction productivity.
- Supporting ongoing rehabilitation works across a large and continually evolving site.
Outcomes
- Delivered detailed civil earthworks designs to support progressive mine rehabilitation.
- Developed contour bank, drainage channel and rock chute designs to manage long-term surface water.
- Produced design outputs that enabled construction crews to maintain productivity throughout rehabilitation works.
Scope
- Civil bulk earthworks design
- Drainage channel design
- Rock chute design
