The former Bradmill Industries Limited textile factory was at one time, the country’s first and only manufacturer of denim, as well as a leading supplier of cotton workwear including iconic Aussie brand, King Gee. Established on site in 1938 and shuttered 67 years later, the 26-hectare factory site was disused for >16 years until recently given a new lease of life.

Winslow Infrastructure is undertaking remediation works at the site with an environmental overlay for re-development.

Key Achievements

Disposal of less than 20% of all abated materials which include contaminated materials, rock for offsite disposal and asbestos in soil.
Re-use >90% of all excavated materials as fill by reprocessing midstream yield materials from screening process.
Traceability of materials through EPA tracker identification to sustain audit requirements.
Through pro-active planning and implementation of the site specific environmental, asbestos, noise, dust, waste and water management plans, Winslow excelled on Project’s and Client’s environmental targets. The project also worked within the EPA and local Council requirements, which focussed on the protection of the surrounding environment with emphasis on the residential housing.
