Agon has considerable experience in the assessment, handling and management of large volumes of spoil generated from tunneling works. Typically, these major infrastructure projects generate millions of tonnes of soil and spoil comprising a mixture of Fill and Natural soil and rock that requires management to the relevant regulatory requirements.
These projects require detailed understanding of many aspects of infrastructure disciplines including transport and logistics, materials storage and handling, time and costs reuse opportunities. Agon has delivered robust and practical management strategies for the Westgate Tunnel Project, North East Link Project and Suburban Rail Loop projects in Victoria, the North South Corridor project in South Australia, and the M6 tunnel project in Sydney.
