Civil IQ prepared Erosion and Sediment Control Plans (ESCPs) for the Hughenden and Richmond CopperString construction camps, delivering certified plans that supported early works and construction in accordance with leading practice IECA guidelines.

Project Overview

Civil IQ was engaged to prepare Erosion and Sediment Control Plans (ESCPs) for the Hughenden and Richmond CopperString construction camps. Developed during the early works phase, the plans were required to support construction activities while protecting surrounding land and waterways through practical erosion and sediment control measures.

Working alongside the evolving camp designs, Civil IQ coordinated drainage, staging and environmental controls to ensure erosion and sediment measures integrated seamlessly with the broader civil works. The resulting designs provided practical, construction-ready solutions tailored to site conditions and the progressive development of each camp.
