7-11 Nelson Parade.

Hunters Hill

The Project.

The 7-11 Nelson Parade project, delivered under a Construct Only contract for Waste Asset Management Corporation, focused on the remediation of a highly contaminated site located adjacent to Sydney Harbour. Once home to a former radium extraction plant, the area contained hazardous materials that required specialist handling and strict safety protocols. Moits was engaged to manage the full remediation process, including the removal of contaminated materials, surface demolition, and temporary works to create a safe working environment. Working under the supervision of Property and Development NSW and the Australian Nuclear Science and Technology Organisation (ANSTO), the project was an important milestone in transforming this historically significant site into a safer environment.

Our Scope.

The scope of works included the management and removal of heavily contaminated material, implementation of erosion and sediment control measures to protect Sydney Harbour, and surface demolition to prepare the site for remediation. Moits’ self-delivery model allowed us to carry out excavation, remediation, packaging, and transport of hazardous materials, ensuring complete control and accountability throughout the process. A critical component of the project was the secure handling and transportation of hazardous materials to the USA for safe disposal. The development of contamination management protocols in collaboration with the NSW State Government ensured all works were undertaken to the highest safety and environmental standards.

Challenges & Our Approach.

One of the most significant challenges was the high-risk nature of the site, with both radiological hazards and contamination located directly adjacent to Sydney Harbour. This demanded meticulous planning and strict erosion and contamination control to prevent pollutants entering the water. Another challenge was the rapid growth of the project’s scope, with actual contamination quantities exceeding initial assumptions by almost tenfold. Moits addressed these complexities by working closely with stakeholders, implementing robust contamination protocols, and leveraging the expertise of our qualified team to deliver the remediation safely and effectively. Through proactive planning, adaptive management, and precise execution, Moits successfully transformed the site while maintaining the highest levels of safety and environmental protection.
