Site-wide erosion and sediment control planning supporting the ongoing operation and future expansion of Dugald River Mine.

Project Overview

Civil IQ prepared a comprehensive Erosion and Sediment Control Plan (ESCP) covering the existing Dugald River Mine, together with the proposed wind farm development and associated access infrastructure within the Knapdale Range. The project required catchment assessment, hydrological analysis and practical erosion management solutions across an active mining environment.

Working alongside evolving concept designs, the ESCP was developed to integrate with existing mine infrastructure while supporting future expansion. The resulting plans provided clear, practical guidance to assist environmental compliance, minimise erosion risk and manage sediment movement across the site.

Challenges

  • $
    Coordinating erosion and sediment control planning alongside evolving mine and wind farm concept designs.
  • $

Outcomes

  • $
    Comprehensive ESCP covering existing and proposed infrastructure.
  • $
    Practical erosion and sediment management strategies supporting regulatory compliance.
  • $
    Integrated design that accommodates ongoing mine operations and future expansion.
