Cox Place

The site’s previous use as a waste sorting facility left more than 45,000 cubic metres of uncontrolled and contaminated fill, including asbestos and general solid waste. WEM implemented a meticulous remediation program, drawing on its technical expertise to safely manage and treat all hazardous materials. Once remediated, the team completed the full scope of civil works, including bulk earthworks, detailed excavation, 1,500 square metres of geogrid-reinforced retaining walls, three heavy vehicle loading docks, and an upgraded frontage to improve access and functionality for future tenants.

The complexity of the site required careful planning and stringent environmental management. WEM’s certified asbestos handling procedures, dust mitigation strategies, and proactive safety controls ensured that works were completed safely, compliantly, and without disruption. Despite the challenges, the team successfully delivered the project within an eight-week program, on time and incident-free.
